Hi Guys,
I was going to post some before and afters today and just couldn't do it. Not for technical reasons. The process of going over photos before my disaster has got the better of me. I have been feeling really good since I joined this freindly forum and felt I was on a mission to get back my long healthy hair, however when I saw what pretty hair I had 7 months ago and what I have now I am beginning to wonder if it will ever return to what it was. Sorry to be on a downer but if anyone has words of encouragenet right now I could really use it. |

Samsara, I'm sure that with the support and info from this site your hair will be *better* through any routine changes to help it's condition. Hang in there, because you know it's totally worth it to ------------- http://www.myspace.com/waltzin_with_the_open_sea - http://www.myspace.com/waltzin_with_the_open_sea Ah-ha, a place I can soon add hair pics...once I do some |

Taking photos will be hard proof to yourself that your hair really is getting better. If you don't share them online, please do keep them for yourself. Take a photo once a month, name the file with the date, and store it in a folder to save for later. When you've got 10-15 photos, you can look at them and see how much longer it's gotten.. how much healthier it's gotten... and so on.

Samsara, I know exactly how you feel. It definitely does take a long time to get back your healthy hair. However, it WILL happen - slowly but surely. You can use your hair as a measure of how well you are taking care of yourself. And the progress photos are evidence of that. Do something nice for yourself and your hair at least once a day. I've been doing meditative combing (thanks Anais!) and also ordered some Cassia obovata (neutral henna) to condition my hair and make it stronger and shinier. I've also been braiding it a lot and get lots of compliments on my braids, which helps me see that my hair is nice now too, even though it is damaged. Use your hair to live in the moment - your hair is what it is right now, so be with it and take good care of it. But really, what matters is taking care of you. Hope that helps.-------------

Thanks Anais and Special Kitty,
I will start to put a file together and compare from now and the future instead of now and the past. It's just really upsetting when I see someone I haven't seen for a while and they make some innocent remark like "whats happened to all your hair" or "where has it all gone" that I really freak out. They don't mean it of course, there not as conscious as I am- I only have myself to blame. Anyway on a more positive note , I am going away soon for a holiday. Any hair care tips for sun and surf? |

You know, we've all done things we regret, but we just have to move past
them. AnaisSatin's advice is very good, I think. It'll help you focus on the postitive. ------------- |

To care for your hair in harsh conditions, try to keep it protected in updos (braids, buns), and maybe put some oil in it while it is up (I use coconut oil, which would fit in great with any vacation to a warm climate )-------------
