So it's been hard fo r me to come back here.  I have been living off the coast of my denile for the past month. There is just so much going on right now that I haven't been able to really wrap my head around my hair (ok pun totally intended).  I read all of your comments on my last blog and I apprectiated them all.

Lucky for me my hair dresser was the same women I went to when I was a pre teen. We did dye my hair but first I told her all of my woes.  It was in my favor to see her over someone new because she remembered how my hair use to feel and, I don't know, validated me?  I guess.  She told my mother that my hair use to be so healthy feeling and now most defenitly felt weaker.  The color she used was semi perm. or demi perm I guess she called it and is supposed to work as a conditioner as well.  My hair still feels dry but looks shiny.  She chopped of more then I would have liked but most people seem to think my hair looks 10 times better now.

Strange becasue every where I have read it says dye your hair a lighter color to help the contrast of the scalp.  Mine went darker and I think the darker dye makes each strand appear thicker giving me better coverage.  After the third wash though I noticed the shedding which made me think about you gals.  I will always think of you all when I pull my hair out of the bath tub drain.  Forget Paris, we have something so much more special.  Wet Hair Balls ;-P  

So b-12 what I read in a pamphlet at the doctors and what I read online, B12 deficiency causes hair to weaken and break.  It also cause little white "freckles" on your arms that will become dry and brittle as well.  I am not sure why this happens but it is one of the symptoms.  I stopped researching it when I found out my B12 is fine (though I also read it takes to seperate tests to determine your level so maybe my doctor is wrong).  This was a dissapointment to me as I was sure that B12 was the answer to my prayers.  I do have a vit D defeciency but that has nothing to do with my hair, or why I am dizzy, or why my limbs go numb.  Vit D just means I don't go out in the sun enough.  I am a vampire.   I am so goth I have a vit. D defeciency.  No, I just have always been a night person who likes to sleep in (way in) on her days off. 

So that's me right now minus 7 or 8 other hellish stresses that have nothing to do with my hair.  You know that person that always has  "something" wrong or "something" happen and you think that she is just an unreliable drama queen.  Well I am her right now and she is me and let me tell you, sometimes-really sometimes those "something" people are legitimate with their problems.  So maybe cut them a little slack now and then. 

I plan on scouting out some of your pages, hope you all are doing well.
