receding hairline ...adjusting my hairstyles,
then used weaves until I couldn't ignore it no mo |
| | see-through ends |
| | disappearing edges |
| | changing my shirt because the shoulders and back were full of little 1/2 inch pieces of hair. I passed this off as regular shedding and was perplexed as to why my hair was not growing. Duh. I was constantly losing my ends. |
| |
having to curl one side of my hair tighter, because
the other side was so short from breakage I wanted it to look
even |
| | hair that never seemed to acquire length (constant trims due to bad ends) |
| |
trying to "grow my hair out" for years, and it
never getting past my shoulders |
| | wondering why my hair wasn't as thick as it was when I was younger |
| | when your hair gets so thin that you are adding tracks to "thicken" it up |
| |
realizing that the combination of over processing
and pulling my hair back in ponytails was destroying the hair
follicles at my temples.... And realizing that no matter what,
that hair will never come back (
don't I know
~ ini) |
| | parting it in the center with my fingers so that I could put my hairclip in, only to feel stubble on top of my head! |
| | hmmm, the biggest sign should have been that thinned out hair in the back. Yeah, it grew out nice and long...and THIN! |
| | you know something is going on when you grab a hand full of roots and bring your hand down and outward the full length of your hair to wind up with about 20 strands when you reach towards the end. |
| | when my stylist's shampoo girl looked at my bald spot and GASPED!!!! WHAT HAPPENED! I said h*ll, YA'LL "happened", you the "professionals"!!! |
| |
a big sign that I was killing my hair but I sadly
ignored was balding temples. Everyone told me it was genetic,
sponge rollers and even my eyeglasses |
| | even sadder was me wearing a swoop or styles that always covered the sides. My stylist even put a little perm on the baldness to straighten out a few sideburn hairs that was left. I still have little hair on the sides now and I'm praying that my follicles are not gone. |
| | another sign was the hairs that were everywhere. On my pillow case, the bathroom floor, my coats, all my clothes, in my car... My hair constantly broke off. |
| | having to curl my hair and comb it so that I could hide the breakage in the centre of my head. |
| |
paying $20 every 2 weeks for a bag of Silky Straight
weave, so that my relaxed hair could have some body |
| | going from hair so thick that combs and brushes broke off in it as a child to having thin, lifeless hair with see through ends |
| |
when my hair started crumbling like cake after
burning with the pressing combing or after leaving the perm
on too long |
| | I never ever needed to get my hair cut in a "style" because my hair kinda broke off into whatever the latest cut was. (remember the mushroom?) How convenient. |
| | and my hairdresser said, "Your hair is so thick, you won't miss it." Well, I do. It's depressing because that hair could be on my head. |
| |
long hair with split ends almost the whole way
up the shaft |
| |
never having my hair grow longer than my ears |
| | I think when you're sweeping up dust pans full of shedded hair on a daily basis is a sure sign that you're killing your hair! Luckily my hair was very thick and you couldn't really tell I was slowing losing my hair. But looking at my bathroom floor you would've thought I would have been bald already! |
| | having no hair line but wearing a bang from the middle of your head to cover up the bald hairline |
| | noticing that the right side of my hair line was receding why? Because that was the side my stylist always started with the relaxer. |
| | having your hair break off so bad, your stylist tells you she's just going to "finish the job" the breakage started. |
| | only washing my hair when shedding became uncontrollable. I figured that my hair was shedding cause it was to dirty. |
| | having long hair at the top of my head and barely anything back in the kitchen. |
| | when i thought frizziness was a result of 'missing' hair parts when i permed so i went over again with more perm, not knowing it was split ends. |
| My experience: Anti-Alopecia |
 Lessons
Learned: I've learned that my hair is not thinning
 . I've
learned that I don't have to hide bald spots...or even have
bald spots. I've learned that thin edges are not hereditary.
I've learned that all that hair on the floors and in the sink
were not 'normal shedding'...I mean what am I a dog!?  Lastly
I've learned that wisdom (knowledge) really is the principle
thing. |
