this latest hiccup in my thyroid levels left my hair (and skin) dry and dull and ugh. since my meds have been corrected the shine is coming back and i'm losing a lot less down the drain. ben gave me a little trim today and i've decided to go the no-poo route again (click my link or google it, there are endless sites). have i talked about this here before? the short of it is that instead of shampoo and conditioner you wash with baking soda and apple cider vinegar. the last time i did this for several months i had the most beautiful hair i'd had since childhood. it really works. and it's cheap as hell.as a child i had long hair up until 6th grade when i had a bob. then it was long again until i was diagnosed with cancer as a junior in high school. i knew my hair would fall out and chopped it short and then very short and then buzzed it. i rocked it very short for the entirety of my treatment (but had fun with it) and for a while afterwards. i grew it out again for my wedding during sophmore year of college. when parker was born it was looooong but when i got pregnant with lorenzo i cut it shorter and shorter. in a disaster with bangs i wound up shaving my head again shortly after renzo's birth. i half-jokingly attribute this brazen move to the ultimate demise of my marriage. (i will not lose another man this way!)
and the point of this post? i don't remember. i'm in a prather ranch tri-tip coma.
(and, as a side note...how cute was lorenzo at that age? and wasn't i rockin' short hair?)
