Good you're listening to yourself.  I admirer that you're able to do all the things you do though.

After my hair being limp on Tues, on Wed, after rinsing in the shower, it was fine.  Today started with it down, but put in up in a claw clip, after I got to school.  Still having problems with the ends tangling, so tonite I oiled the ends, which I haven't done in weeks.  That really helped the tangles.

Was watching QVC tonite and saw WEN hair products.  Has anyone tried them?  It isn't really a shampoo, more of a conditioning treatment, but you aren't supposed to need shampoo if you use this system.  I am tempted to try it, but at $50, that's quite an investment.  One comment that caught my attention was that protein conditioning treatments feel good at first, but dry your hair in the long term.  That may be the problem with the cholesterol treatment I tried.  I won't do that again any time soon.

Thanks, Curlgirl, but I think I will take a pass for now.  I am really satisfied with what I am using now, but we all wonder if a different product will give us glorious hair, dont' we.

Got my hair colored and trimmed Sat.  Kirsten said the ends were somewhat dry, but that could be from wearing my hair down most of the time and friction on coats, etc.  I told her I had tried the cholestrol treatment and she said that is one of the worst things for fine, wavy hair.  She asked where I had gotten the idea and I couldn't squeal on Debbie, so I just said I read about it and thought I'd try it.  So I will wait 'til the weekend, then do a deep conditioning treatment and hope that helps.  I had quit oiling my hair because it felt too heavy, but have gone back to oiling just the ends the nite before I shampoo.  At least it makes it easier to comb.

Now that the top has grown out, my hair looks and feels thicker and most of the time I am very happy with it.

It's all a part of the journey!

Thank you, Curlgirl and Goddysey, I was just feeling sorry for myself.  I am at that time of year when I shed prodigiously, at least it seems that way to me, and have to keep reminding myself not to panic.  Last year I did panic and started slathering it with oil, and conditioning every day, which just made it limp.

My hair is layered, and the top and sides are growing quite nicely, but I am just not gaining any overall length.  Sigh.

I teach communication theory and realize that the women complaining about how long it takes to dry their hair are reverse bragging; i.e., it would be rude and conceited to talk about how beautiful their hair is, so they complain about it, instead.  Either communication scenario accomplishes the same thing: getting people to look at and admire their hair.

Did a deep conditioning treatment on Fri and am very happy with the results.  My hair is full and wavy, and has body.  Of course, it is starting to get humid, which makes my hair bushy, but I don't care: it looks fuller.  The shedding seems to be diminishing, too.  It seemed to be a shorter period this year.  I hope that portends more growth.  We'll see.

Do it!  Do it!  Do it!!
