hair loss help?
okay.
im in my early 20s and black.
when i do my hair, there's always some left in my comb and brush. ALWAYS. even after i first wash it, and its supposedly all nice and clean, theres hair in my shower comb (one of those wide toothed combs). i use detangler and blowdry lotion before i blowdry it. but still. my mom had started complaining about my leaving hairs on the bathroom floor in about, 11th grade, i think, so i stopped styling my hair in the bathroom and only wash it in there. but somehow, hair still ends up all over the bathroom floor, "like a dog shedding", my mom says.
i have been diagnosed with moderate depression but i dont think that's the reason, cause i was only diagnosed recently. like, this year.
when i was little, i had the craziest, thickest hair. it was partly curly, partly stick straight. my mother could put tiny braids in it and not have to secure the ends with rubber bands because my hair was curly enough to hold the braids in. when i started doing my own hair, all i could do for it (without taking FOREVER) was stick it in a ponytail and go. when i first admitted my hair was becoming a real problem, i thought it was that the ponytail id do was too tight, so i started doing looser ones. recently (like, over the summer), i found banana combs, which i remembered my mother using in my hair when i was little. so now i just comb/brush my hair up into one of those and go.
for the last semester of college (2010) up until about October of this year, ive gone to the hair salon at JCPenny at the mall (i stopped cause we were moving, and i wanted to have at least SOME money when we got to the new city.). it seemed to grow, but with my limited amount of money, if i kept going, i would've blown my entire account (which wasnt much to start with). my mom says dont worry about the whole money thing, but i cant really help it cause there's stuff i need/want, but im pretty much stuck with what ive got (til its gone, which right now, would only take about 2-3 weeks. maybe.), until i get a job (which is practically everyone in the US's goal right now).
so. now you've heard the whole sordid story, what can you suggest i do for this stuff, cause right now, its almost too short for banana combs!!!!!
