Dear journal,


   Well, i just combed my dry hair again put more oil on it and put it back in a bun. I comb my daughters hair and put baby oil on it.   Yeah BB gave me a password and im going to be keeping this journal up.   I also put a couple sprays of that vitamin human growth hormone( i forgot what its called) under my tongue. My hair got kinda long and my neice said wow your hair got long. then i cut it. argh.  patience patience patience. its kinda fun growing your hair long. trying different products, and vitamins.  BTW, Larry Birkhead is the father of Annas baby. I hope he takes good care of her.


                                                                                   

Hi Angelspun .

  Yup, you are right that is why we are here.  We are a family of longlockers.  I went to other blogs and websites but none compares to longlocks .

Anyways, Last night i did a scalp and head massage with jojoba oil and an olive oil mister. I also sprayed the sprayology under my tongue about 10x.   I am on my 2nd cup of green tea with mint.  I took a shower and used a dab of baby shampoo, then rinse. i forgot to cold rinse. then combed and put jojoba oil and aloe on my hair. Finally it went into a bun. Im still shedding hair.  arghhh.  Im going to a bridal shower today and i love to look at everyones length. My sisters hair god bless her has gotten  long.  Longest she has ever had it. about almost over her bra strap. Im determined to set a good example for my little one. Im going to order 2 more sprayology when i get a chance.  Ma says the other day that my hair looked knotty and it looks like i havent been combing it. but i do its because its so curly. Im glad she said something it reminded me to go back to longlocks.  I think i might want to see a hair therapist/ tri(something). Im going to look for one.  Well until next time.

Dear Journal,


   Well i went to that party and there were so many longhaired gals.  I kept guessing everyones lenghth. Anywho i just deep moisterized my hair for about 30 min with Longhairlovers moisterizing masque.  My hair feels silky and smooth. Its back in a bun and i used infusium 23 leave in treatment on the ends.  Im making me a cup of green tea with mint. I just finished an apple. I heard apples make your hair shiny.  I finished my last sprayology and i cant wait until the new ones come in.  I forgot to take my vitamins yesterday. Hopefully i remember today. I was also too tired to do a head massage which i enjoy. Not too much hair came out today .  Well until next time.

Dear Journal,


  There were a few things i read yesterday online. First is you are never to old to grow your hair out. Thats encouraging.    The next thing was not taking care of your hair can be a sign of depression. I totally forgot to take care of my hair for about 9 months post partum. I was in a fog. Everything was blurry. I dont even remember too much of it.  Then when i was cutting my hair i was thinking. Start new start fresh, remove All damaged hair. Its about 23 inches long but im not measuring for a while. My goal is 40 inches. i wish. It going to be about 2.5 years until i see that goal. Half of the fun is getting there.

Im taking

  Silica
  Msm
  Beta carotene
  Lysine
  Prenatal
  Hair Nutrient
  Biotin


I got wheat germ oil. It is rich in vitamin E. I read it is very good for hair. 

Dear Journal,


   All is pretty much the same.  I feel so much better that i invited my mother in law and father in law to dinner last week. I havent seen them since my post partum depression hit. I didnt want to see anyone and thankgod they were patient with me.  My husband has a really big family and i havent seen most of them yet. Im kinda  nervous about seeing everyone else. Im kinda embarressed that i had post partum depression.  I know its not my fault and i had no control over it.   I just have to accept it.    If anyone has advice on this i would appreciate it.

  Hair is pretty much the same.  Last night i put coconut oil on the ends. No matter how much oil or anything i put on the ends they still get dry. I guess they are still so damaged from coloring.  My hair is a two tone ugly color.  The only thing that bothers me is that is continues to fall out. I will be patient. I am going to try to find a hair doctor(tri-something).

PPD is a very real condition, as you already know.  It has also been in the news more lately, so I am sure your extended family will understand.  I'm glad you are feeling better, I hope the dinner with the in-laws went well.  I'm sure everyone is more interested in the little one than you anyway!! 

As for the shedding, I know it will continue until your hormones level off again.  Nursing the baby will extend that period.  I'm all for nursing as long as you are comfortable with it and the baby is thriving - the heck with the hair - it will grow back - but baby only gets this one change to get all the good anti-bodies and special bonding that occurs when nursing. 

If you think your shedding is going beyond the normal - make sure they check your thyroid.  Hair loss is a symptom of thyroid problems.
