Friends,
So, the heavy duty steroids have really thinned out my hair over the last 6 months... I have longish hair, and although it is fine, have always had loads of it, so it looked really thick and luscious... ok I am bragging, but my hair always was lovely.
Now I am on the Mercaptopurine, and it's falling out even more. Hubby says you can hardly notice, but I have shiny patches if I stand under a light and my parting is just getting bigger and bigger all the time - everytime I go in the bathroom I am stressing. Also, it looks lank and greasy - even when it's just washed. I think its because my scalp is producing the same amount of natural oils as it used to (which meant my hair was always shiny), but now there is less than half as much hair I just look like I don't wash...
So, I have bought a couple of wigs, and they are REALLY nice - one of them looks just like my hair used to. I am thinking I shall just clipper off the lank remains of what was my gorgeous hair. Do you see my thinking,? Right now I can't control my hair, (or my bowels for that matter), but if I just clipper it all off, I won't be scrutinizing my scalp every chance I get - I take control!
Hubby is worried I am rushing into it... so what do you guys think?
To clipper or not to clipper?
