Vanity is hair

I know I have written a lot about hair, but when you go from having lots to none you become slightly obsessed. All my life I have fought with my hair (too thick, too curly) and to this day there has been no exception. I am here to testify <can I get a witness> that no matter what type of hair you have there is a solution out there, you just have to find it.

My hair is slowly growing back in but my eyebrows have stopped their growth. I actually had to get them waxed the other week. Not because they were unruly, quite the opposite. I actually was getting confused as to where I should pencil them in. I had hairs growing in places where I didn't want them. Isn't that always the way? They can't fill in at the ends..no they have to choose a space between my upper eyelid and brow. So a waxing I went. I actually have a brow shape now to help with the drawing...thank you Anastasia makeup!

Now to get personal. My body hair has kind of come back...with the exception of a "personal region". I figure lots of woman pay for what I now have naturally so I am ok with this. Let nature reign.~that might have been too much information, phfft!

The top of my hair has been looking sparse and the back of my head is looking like male pattern baldness. So I started venturing to other blogs and read up on what has and hasn't worked- or more like what I am and am not willing to try. What did I decide upon?

Biotin. It is a vitamin (H to be exact) which does a bunch of things like help follicle growth. The good news...can help your metabolism increase and promote hair growth...bad news...side affect is facial hair...but I will take my chances

Next I have perfected the comb over and hairspray combo. Mind you I think my husband is going to take out shares in hairspray and invest in a gas mask at the same time. Is it really my fault that he walks in just as I am in the hairspray fog?

And lastly, I have found a product on amazon called Toppik. I think it is basically flakes of hair dye that you sprinkle into the parts of your hair to give it a fuller appearance. I have only been using it a couple of days, so I have yet to master the back bald spot but so far I am impressed with the results. It says that it will not run but I still held my breath when a drop of melting snow hit my head and ran down. All I could think of was will my hair run down my face..the answer <thankfully> was no, but I am not sure I am ready to test it in a downpour --yet!

So for all of you out there trying to find ways to help your locks look more lush, straight or curly...join the millions of other women and get your fingers clicking through the web to find a product for you...may the hair gods be forever in your favour!
