Bald is not beautiful:
I wash my hair every third day, and condition it every day. I work the tangles out and make sure it's completely detangled every night. I pull it up in a bun to wear to bed, and in the morning I usually style it in a pony tail. By the afternoon it has become a matted, knotted mess, and when I go to shower in the evenings, I lose handful after handful of hair. Because there are so many of them, I have resorted to cutting the major knots out of my hair. This is in addition to the fact that it falls out regularly because of both a skin condition and a reaction to one of my medicines.
I am, of course, terrified that I will keep hacking away at my hair until there is nothing left to salvage. I have visions of my bald head on my wedding day, and it's not one of those happy-wedding-day images. It can't be good for it, for me to go ripping and cutting into it every night. But I am woefully uninformed about hair care products, having never really cared what my hair looked like before. Now, with the wedding a mere six months away, it's time to whip my hair into shape. Please suggest solutions for my thick, curly, mid-back length, not-chemically-colored hair.
Thank you, Livejournal.
