I can relate to every detail mentioned.. 🙁 I’m having such a hard time with this. I’ve always had fine hair and yes, had the chola hair do going on back in the 90’s and ALWAYS wore hairspray.Dyed my hair all the time. But in 2005 I got my first perm and had it done twice because it didn’t ‘work’ out the first time. Boy, I wish I never did that.. For whatever reason tho, I can’t do anything nice with my hair now besides a little matted up ponytail-bush thing.. smh.. It’s painful. Never could consider wearing it down cause its so stringy.I’m 31 with 3 kids, a college student and I feel like I’m 85. I’m bitter, can’t enjoy anything anymore and can’t get motivated whatsoever. Reading your stories is helping but I’m so lost right now. I have no one close to confide in without getting ridiculed or just get the pity look. I’m tired of hiding from the sun I so much need.. How do I deal with this folx??

I suppose to everyone else it probably looks fine, I just keep comparing to the way it was…thicker, livelier, shinier, no see thru spot in the front. Oh well, like some say: enjoy your life because you still have hair! And I do, have more than some, now if I could just stop obsessing, I could enjoy life. I stay in often because of my hair. Funny enough, I used to wish I had less because it took so long to style and was too thick I thought for my small face. Be careful what you wish for..silly wish really. who would have thunk??

I love the part about the shower because its the ickiest thing. I blessed with hair loss, naturally thin hair and an oily scalp. Bathrooms are the worst with muti-dimensional lighting. And why, why do they need that kind of bright lighting in stores. I’ll buy your product without it being lit up by three halogen spotlights.
My mom says we’re evolving towards a humanoid with no hair on account of people spending so much time indoors. I just want to know why I have to be at the forefront of this evolutionary change.

we need a fashion change….bald women or less hair ….maybe hairy women can be seen as bad….”there is just too much hair on your head”

Can of hairspray later…still looks like crap and I curse the fact I cant wear a ball cap(my favorite accessory) to play soccer in. I’m thinking of consulting a hair replacement center but boy that looks painful…anyone had that done..suggestions to improve my self esteem which stinks due to my thin hair??

@Marie – I was quite certain we could all look at this video and nod in agreement! 🙂 I’m so happy that you have moved forward and are able wear your wig with a smile and LIVE your life!

@Angela – I’m so glad I gave you a smile this morning! Was that not the funniest (and true) video. LOL! – I couldn’t stop laughing and I had to keep playing it over and over. That’s how I felt yesterday after I was trying to “work the hair” seemingly forever and it just kept flat. I have some choice curse words for my hair, but I’ll spare the readers. I felt like slumping to the floor and on top of me could be a giant pile of hair products, blow dryer and combs. All you would see from the pile would be my feet 🙂 It’s good to laugh at ourselves.

xoxo

Thanks for making me smile this morning!

This was me every time I had to go out!!! I was late for everything and and usually had tear-streaked cheeks when I got there. However, since I now wear wigs, I don’t do that anymore. Now, I just put mousse in my “hair”, flick it with a hair pick and go! And with a smile!
