Mane Distress!!

With the dawn of the new year…strange I had yet another important thing to worry…My HAIR!! Never before I had given a serious thought about it, my hair was ME..never problematic:)..there were bad hair days but that definitely was bearable, since school days I have been told I had great hair, then it was because it was very silky smooth (those days when conditioner was not known) then in college coz I didn’t have the typical jet black, my hair was always on the browner side..that is how I always liked too..(mind you..before the coloring mania began!)..and after that it was for no of other reasons, the styles, highlights etc.,..and then suddenly I started noticing that I was losing hair in lumps..it was falling at a rate that I could easily make a wig..sob..sob..i knew I had to act on it fast or else soon I would soon be bald..

I frantically browsed the net, all with more or else the same queries..on how to stop hair loss, reasons, cure, etc..etc..then I found I am not the only one..there were thousands like me:(..internet is definitely very useful but sometimes it confuses you..i heard somewhere these days there are 3 types of consultation for any medical problem..the regular doctor, the self-doctor and the internet. How true..with so much information available it becomes so easy to take the advice from the net. I remember the time when I was pregnant every time the doc would recommend some medicine/tests I would come back and check the net only if it was okayed there I would have it or get the test done..
But coming to my problem here , it was of not much help..hair loss could be for # of reasons..it could simply because of change of water or as grave as cancer..shucks..this scares me..this time I really wanted to grow it long..and style it later..but not happening! So saying I started off with the remedies, eating sesame seeds, greens etc..etc..even used fenugreek leaves on my hair and not to miss out the famous hibiscus leaves. Jeez..it was a helluva task to remove that sticky stuff off my hair..anything for my dear hair..im desperate..
Nothing seemed to help..so there I was placing a call to my salon..Thankfully I managed getting a appointment soon. With the usual hellos and exchanging smiles it was time to face the ugly truth..there I was facing the huge mirrors and by the very look the stylist (a very nice Tibetian guy) said what was wrong…and then began my sob story..he said I should consult a doc and types.. I was like yeah..yeah..and then began the chop..chop..all I told him was to make it look like I have a lot of hair and that was all he need. For the next 2 hours he went on and on..for the first 30 mins I was sitting with a lot of patience admiring his passion, his style etc..etc..and then I could no longer sit quiet, I was just hoping he finishes..when he came to the final stages of setting the hair my patience was nil..i wanted to just run away..but all for my dear hair..he ended up giving me a JOB look(wondering what it is..lol..its Just out of bed:))))
I am someone who like to wear my hair neat, I don’t like even a strand popping out..but just to make the less hair seem more I have to go with this..i think with time I will start liking it..till the next time I visit him..and then again another 2 hours he will transform me into someone..
I admire the enormous patience these ppl have I seem to wonder if they are the same ones back with their near ones.. I wish they are..the least best thing I can do is spell my hair stylist’s name properly..but no..i cannot..it is Lyangdup or so..And the Miracle happened…my hair fall has reduced to negligible. Maybe it needed the magic touch:)..and that’s the good ending!!!
I wish all my other problems too have a good ending…in that hope I sign off:)
