Bad Hair Days Weeks Months

Hair.

My hair.

This has been a battle my entire life.  My hair is curly/wavy/some days I don't know what it is.  It is also frizzy.  On warm, humid days I don't even bother doing anything but putting my hair up because of that frizz.  I do everything in my power to not look like Simba when I wake up in the morning.  Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.  I always have a back up plan in the form of multiple hair ties around my wrist AND bobby pins in my purse.

This is such a battle that I got my hair cut today and I literally asked my hair dresser if she would come home with me.  And I was not kidding.  Because she can somehow tame this mess atop my head.  And I need that sort of help every day.

I've always admired those girls that can pull different hair styles off so flawlessly.  I like to try new do's but more often than not I end up wanting my hair out of my face at some point in the day and up it goes.

More recently, my hair battle has been an even more difficult one.  My hair has been falling out in clumps.  Clumps so big that I would actually be kind of worried had my hair dresser not forewarned me that I may start loosing hair after we had Kate.  It turns out that your body typically absorbs so many more nutrients and you end up shedding less hair while you are expecting that when you are not expecting anymore your body releases all the stray strands that otherwise would've been dropped.  It's just now your body makes up for nine plus months of minimal hair loss all at once.

This hair loss has left me with what I call bald spots at the very edges of my hair line.  I am told that this is not noticeable, but I see it every single day glaring back at me in the mirror and I've contemplated googling how to manage peach fuzz because I no longer have long strands of hair.  Nope, they broke off a long time ago.  Now I have fuzz, growing back in the form of hair, which makes my hair look even more frizzy.

Lovely.

I'm not sure how long this hair loss is going to last.  I'm not sure how long it will take for my hair to grow back.  I'm not sure if it will even grow back.  But I am going to continue to fight this battle.  I am also going to continue to always have a back-up hair plan.
