After my surgery in September, we had to cut some of my hair out because it was so matted and knotted up, we could not get a brush or comb through it, so the scissors had to take care of it for me.
Then for several months, from September 2008 to about February 2009, my hair just kept falling out.
I was losing a lot of hair during those 1st few months that it was coming out, then it started slowing down a bit, I only lost small amounts of hair every time I washed or brushed it, and then it just stopped falling out for good in February.
But instead of falling out, I got some new problems with it.
It started getting really, really dried out, like brittle, and I did everything I could to try and help that.
I used a couple of hot oil treatments and leave in conditioners, I only used conditioners that were for really dry or color treated hair, but nope, it just stayed dry as a bone.
Then the other morning after showering and brushing my hair, about an hour or so later when it had totally dried, I caught a quick glimpse of a silver strand on the top of my head, so I grabbed my hand mirror and took a closer look.
I saw a TON of gray hairs!
Hundreds of them, I grabbed my tweezers and started plucking a few and then remembered that old wives tale that says if you pull out 1 gray hair, 10 will grow in it's place.
Not that I believe such things, but I stopped plucking. ha ha
On Monday afternoon, I took a shower and then a wild hair crossed my ass.
I cut 6 inches off my hair.
Even though I cut off 6 inches, my hair is still past my shoulders, and now that whole mess that my surgeons made with their uneven hair cutting in September, is finally starting to even out.
I don't want to cut my hair to where the growth is from what they cut because they cut me so uneven, it was shaved on 1 side, and cut short on the other, I don't know why they did that, but that's how it was.
So yeah, I don't want to cut it to that new growth, but at least that mess of a hair cut is growing out after 10 months.
So now my hair is 6 inches shorter, dry as a bone, and I have a ton of gray hairs.
Plus it has not been colored since June of last year, a whole year has gone by and it clearly shows in the coloring of my hair.
When I did color it last year, I bought the dye on sale, buy 1 get 1, and I only used the 1 box, so I have a whole box that's been sitting on my shelf for a whole year just begging to be used.
I think today is the day that I get rid of the gray, even out the color, and because the conditioner in hair dye is the best conditioner ever, my hair will look fabulous when I get done.
I swear, if Loreal were to produce and sell the conditioner that they put in the hair dye boxes into full size bottles, women everywhere would probably pay $20 or more per bottle for the stuff.
It's that good.
When I get done coloring my hair and done with the 2 minute conditioner, my hair looks and feels like the hair of a 4 year old.
It's super shiny, super soft, full of body and light, it's just really incredible stuff, they should just sell it to us in regular full size bottles.
I think I'm going to send them an email and beg, and if they say no, I'll start a petition and get women everywhere to sign it. ha ha
But erm, yeah, got totally sidetracked there didn't I?
Today I am going to dye my hair, it will look great once it's done, and maybe it's the kind of little pick-me-up that I need to start feeling better.
Oh! I did talk to my pain doc yesterday about how I've been feeling, and he did not put me on any antidepressant medication today, but he said that when I come back in for my 1 month appointment, if my moods and emotions have not improved or have gotten worse, he will put me on something then.
He asked me if I had taken any before, if so what kind, did they work, did a particular 1 work better or worse, so I answered all of his questions, he wrote it all down, and so we'll see how it goes in a month.
Ok, time to go find something for breakfast.
I've been up all night and now I'm hungry for breakfast.
Later days!
