Robin’s Hair Loss Story – The Mind & Body Connection Is The First Step To Recovery

Before I share my story, I would like to thank this site for opening the door to a world of hope, understanding, and amazing strength. You are truly a remarkable young lady with a tremendously huge heart. Your words and intellectual spirit speak volumes about the very fibers of your being. Having this site, is a delight…… for sometimes, we have all been in a very dark and desperate place. Again, Thank You So Much!!!!!

I thought it was time to share some inspiration and background to my hair loss experience. I will tell you at times…. There where moments when I didn’t want to see the light from the sun, peer through my windows. The very thought of getting out of bed was a chore, a dreaded routine that was both exhausting and draining. At the age of 45 I have suffered with hair loss for well over 20 years. At first … it wasn’t that noticeable, after all, I was younger and had a busy schedule. Although it reared its ugly head I can honestly tell you I really didn’t put it all together until some 10 years later.

It was a slow process and more then likely I just ignored the signs… Back then I saw several doctors, truthfully… If I may be honest…. THEY SUCKED! The only thing they made sure of was my insurance numbers and mailing address were correct. Years of doctors and empty pockets, I realized that the traditional medical society for the most part reminded me of lawyers… They prey on your hardships and suck you dry! Years ago, doctors cared about following there passions in helping cure the sickly awhile tending to the needy with compassion and love. Today, while I am sure there’s a handful….. It is a commodity at best! I can tell you that worrying and obsessing over those things you cannot control only fuels the aging process as well as any illnesses you may have, The mind and body connection is real, and once you work with your body and not against it you will begin to see some beautiful things happen. Since this phenomena has taken place in my life… BEAUTIFUL things have happened, along with holistic care, and good old ancient herbal products, I can actually tell you I HAVE HAD LESS HAIR LOSS! Vibrant skin, and I even SOMETIMES feel like having SEX…. Although I have to be honest Id rather eat a big AS- piece of chocolate cake! Wait Girls the sex drive does start to go and yes wood grain station wagons start to become more appealing. My hair loss has a lot to do with stress and poor nutrition. I always had to be a size 3 and would wake up at three in the morning to go to the gym DO YOU GUYS THINK THAT IS JUST A BIT OBSESSIVE? If you will do one thing for yourselves from this day forward….. Breathe deep, look at the sun shine, love your family and know you are the best dam thing in town. If hair is hard to do … find yourself a stylist who knows her stuff. Having the right cut, color, and products is the answer. Try all the lotions potions and houdini magic tricks…. When the bag is empty and resources are tapped. look for the cosmetic side and do what you have to do to bring it on. They have so many amazing products on the market you would be surprised. At the age of 45 I have gone back to school to be a cosmetologist and that Is were I have put my passion. Soon, I will have a site for tips and other specialties to share so all of you can know ….What I paid to learn. I will be glad to share with you all the secret tips and easy ways to bring on the illusion of fuller hair. In the meantime if you have a question….. you can contact me through my Women’s Hair Loss Project Network Profile:

Dear Robin,

I so appreciate your dedication and passion for helping other women. I know how valuable a few hair styling tips and tricks can be. I’ve lived off them for years, along with my expensive stash of select thickening and smoothing hair products 🙂 Since I have so little hair the products last forever basically, a small perk I guess. After meticulously watching my hair dresser I learned how to make a tiny amount of hair look 3 times the amount, of course all an illusion, but who cares right? Any little thing to help us feel better counts big time.

You are so right on about the mind and body connection. If we let our minds take over, our bodies will crumble and follow suit, depression spreads its wings and sooner or later, probably sooner, we find ourselves in a whole so deep it feels we’ll never dig ourselves out. Of course the reverse is true as well, be positive about today and the future and watch how your body changes and reacts for the better. I think it is important for women to know that yes there are most certainly ways to treat your hair loss, but the real treatment is self acceptance. Once you have that the rest will be…dare I say, easy.

I’m happy you are here to spread your knowledge and kindness and strength with the rest of community. When I first started this site, I was in a bit of a pit myself. I still encounter those days, but the more I wrote and interacted with other women the more I felt their strength, their caring, and in helping others, I helped myself. For that I am forever grateful to all the women on this community. Thank you.
