Humiliated By Hair Loss

2009-05-01T02:22:56Z

I went to an allergist today because I have really been having a lot of skin issues, itchiness, eczema, a lot of contact dermatitis around my mouth, itchy eyelids, itchy eyes and of course my usual asthma. I am always apprehensive about going to a new doctor because the patient form you have to fill [...]

Breakout The Blowdryers and Combs! An iPhone Application That Claims To Help You Protect Your Hair (Now I’ve Seen It All)

2009-04-23T18:18:50Z

I don’t even know where to begin. I am speechless and have not yet managed to pick my jaw up off of the floor. I sit her blankly staring at the computer screen, thinking that world has gone to hell in a handbasket. I was sent a link to a page that contained an iPhone [...]

Advair, Muppets, and Poor Health Decisions

2009-04-17T04:20:14Z

Hair loss impacts our lives in more ways than most people could possibly imagine. It is part of the equation for many things, including choice of outfit (if you are fair haired like myself, black shows the fallen hair the most) time allotted for getting ready, deciding to even go out in the first place, [...]

Fergie’s Hair Loss Revealed and Exploited By The Press

2009-04-08T17:28:01Z

I recently came across an article in the popular online UK news website, Mail Online, titled “Newly brunette Fergie’s centre-parting is one great divide.” Catchy for a news title, and in my opinion, cruel for the 33 year old Black Eyed Peas singer. Women’s hair loss is such a personal and emotional struggle, I can [...]

Having Hair Loss Is Exhausting

2009-03-15T19:49:22Z

I never really stop to think how much effort I put into trying NOT to think about my hair loss and how exhausting not thinking about my hair loss actually is. I avoid mirrors, strong overhead restaurant lighting, I turn the bathroom lights off before going in (in my house). I’d do it in public [...]

Three Minutes of Freedom

2009-03-06T20:51:59Z

I got up this morning, walked the dog, came home, fed the dog. Threw on some workout clothes and hopped down to the gym (garage). I put my earphones on, I turn the ipod on, and I started the treadmill. The first song queued up is one of my favorites, and it just puts my [...]
