Ak took this of me before I went to the hair dresser. I pulled my hair back in a ponytail all summer. Easy.
I had high hopes and excitement as I've been growing out my bangs since she last cut it in December and I was ready to chop it SHORT in the back and leave my bangs as long as possible.
But I left with a different feeling because she told me my hair is thinning and it's breaking off and I'm too young for this she said. She said it is probably caused by "mommy stress" she said. She went on trying to convince me that that's the stage I'm at right now and I probably can't help it and stress can affect our bodies in many ways. I was like you do NOT have to convince me that I have MOMMY STRESS - I believe you. (: She told me to use some special shampoo and conditioner, Nioxin, for the thinning. She told me to take biotin (a B vitamin) supplement to help it grow stonger. I asked what I should eat - she said PROTEIN. I should have known. I don't eat much meat unless I don't have to cook it or it's smoothered in some yummy sauce!!! I prefer so many other foods! But I will have to be more concience of combining my food to get complete proteins! (like rice & beans, etc.) And maybe I should get some protein powder to add to smoothies - if I can find some that tastes okay!?
So I just let her cut my hair as I changed my mind about my intended cut for my status of my hair and how I won't take time to fix it. But after the shock of her assessment/advice has sunk in I'm left with this funky hair. I can't do anything with it. It's like it's the grown out look - like I should be going to get a haircut soon. Ugh. Depressing - but I still go out in public and luckily my friends and family haven't asked many questions - like "do you like it?" NO! (: But I'm too busy right now to go ask her to fix it. (: But this really affected me - I feel bad because I should have eaten better while I was pregnant and nursing for a straight 4 years. My gums are messed up from that time and now my hair. Oh ladies who are still pregnant and nursing - GO TO THE DENTIST more often and Eat lots of food full of good vitamins and minerals!!!! The baby is sucking out all the stuff you normally get - so you have to add more! I was told that - but I didn't listen - I figured - "I'm carrying a baby or caring for a baby" - so I'll eat what I want! Eat healthy now or pay for it later - that's true at any age or stage of life I suppose.

Good advice to us.
Awwww.......... That's no fun. Sorry about your hair, and your haircut. : ( Thankfully, it'll GROW! And soon, you can go get another haircut, or leave it grown out. Don't let it get you too down. You're doing the best that you can. : )
