you're not being vain lol

lol I just felt like I was at the time

Nah -pets- you weren't lol

Teehee. *purs*

-skritches ears- lol

^____^

You're not being vain Kristal. You're trying to figure out what's the best route to go with your hair.  Maybe if you got a job over the summer you could save up and still get a wig to have?  That's good you're still going to take care of your hair and get it more healthy.
I'm growing mine out and it's this ash blond/dirty blond color which I find utterly UCKY, but I'm trying to force myself to go natural since I haven't had it non dyed since 10th grade and that was over 12 years ago, so we'll see how I look with my hair my natural color.

Thanks, lol. I'm just very concerned about being vain because there are worse things to be concerned about than hair.

I am hopefully getting a second job soon, but even still, I think I'm just going to let my hair be for now and let it grow out and I'll take better care of it so then I won't need a wig.

 

Blonde isn't necessarily an icky colour…I just think it looks bad on me, especially the colour that my hair has faded to since it was brown before. Oh well though...I'm just going to leave it so I don't do anymore damage to it.

 

How long is the natural part of your hair? Sometimes the natural colour can look bad in the roots, but look really nice in full length

be happy with yourself... pleeeeease

I'm trying..lol

look at it this way, guys don't notice! I have mistaken my sister for other people before...

Lol well I hide my bald spots pretty well anyways. I'm just going to leave my hair the way it is for now so I don't have to spend several hundred dollors on a wig and wig accessories.

Where are your bald spots? bc human hair wigs are expensive but synthetic ones are cheaper...and half wigs are even cheaper.  And i don't see why you'd need to cut off ur hair.

And are you in some type of counseling or something to keep you from pulling it out?

I have bald spots on the top of my head. If you add me as a friend, you'll have access to my blogs which have pictures of my bald spots.

 

But right now I've just been combing my hair back and wearing a headband, which works pretty well. I'll leave it as it is for now

 

And I am seeing the social worker at school for trichotillomania. However, I am also waiting for the arrival of a letter which will state when I can start councelling at the hospital for free.

I have alopecia and have a bald spot on the back-top-right of my head but that spreads during periods of stress.  I usually wear my hair back with the very back out.  Recently I've started wearing wigs and before that I would get my hair sewn in.

I've had it since birth.  Because my hair is REALLY thick in every area other than my bald spot my hair just appears to be thin.  I've had steroid shots to my scalp before...it was about seven years ago and it was so painful that I can still sometimes feel it.

I wish you the best of luck with the counseling.

And you may want to look into synthetic wigs or even half wigs if the top half of your head appears healthy.

I'm sorry to hear about your condition Bald spots are no fun. I've considered getting hair peices, but I'm afraid people will be able to notice the change in colour/texture between my hair and the peices. But I'll look into it

 

Thanks for wishing me good luck ^_^

ur welcome!

^_^
I added you as a friend, so if you want to see my most recent blog (which has pictures of my bald spots) you can

I did...mine are way more expansive than yours

Oh man..I'm sorry to hear that D:

At least with my disorder I can physically control it...I can't imagine what it would be like not being able to control it (well, physically anyways)

*hugs*

It's not so bad.  It would be worse if it was on an outer edge or something.  I can manage it and stay looking good, lol.

Lol. Well judging by your pic there you are beautiful ^_^

aww...thanks. right back at'ya

Thanks ^_^

I cut my own! Can't always see what I'm doing but there 'ya go, as long as I don't get sacked I don't care too much, I think they'd say, then that's kick my ass into getting it sorted professionally just to keep my job, I could justify the whole effort as an investment. It's like tidying my bedroom, there's no point bothering unless something's gonna come out of it or it'll get the old man off my back, life should be for fun + rest + laziness + happiness!- because we spend so much time working, and the rest of life shouldn't be about that, screw what other people think (I'm not doing anything unreasonable to them)

I cut my own hair as well, lol. The last time I got a proffesional cut was 2 and a half years ago.

wow I haven't been keeping track

LOL!!! I remember whating that years ago...I love Mr. Bean!

Thanks for all the replies My natural color looks brownish with a tinge of maybe red in it....but then sort of has an ash shade...hard to quite describe it. I'd say it's about halfway grown out.  I cut my hair short so that should help it grow out quicker.  I can't wait.

Yeah a mini panic attack sucks.  I had one once where I pretty much freaked out over a skin reaction to a bug bite and ended up leaving work and going to my doctor. Of course I was perfectly fine and was just told to take a Benedryl. So now I know to just take deep breaths, walk around a bit and calm my mind. I've only had them happen maybe 3-4x this past year, so not very often.

Oh since you like to write have you ever heard of www.fastpencil.com  ? It rocks!

I'm growing out my hair as well..I can't wait for it to get really long either ^_^

Yeah the last time mine was about boob length was right before my senior pictures when I decided to go shoulder length...bad idea...it's never gotten past that since... sniff sniff.... plus I'm too lazy and everytime it gets to particular length I want to chop it off again. 

Just put the siccors down for a while! lol. I know split ends suck to look at, but it worked for a guy friend of mine, and now he has the most beautiful hair, and it's down to his bum, lol.

WOW...never seen a guy with that long of hair.  And guys a lot of the time have nicer hair than us girls.

Guys have nicer hair than girls cause guys don't fuss over it so much as we girls do

au contraire, my sweet, au contraire lol -- i hate my hair

Lol, I meant that on average guys don't do as much damage to their hair than girls (ie straightening, curling, chemicals, hair dye, hair spray, etc)
