The Hair Dilemma

Jan 05, 2011

I probably should not have dyed my hair. It’s falling out more rapidly now. I am considering cutting it to just above my shoulders. I think that if there is less hair, then the nutrients that goes to my hair will be more effective. Anyone else run into this and cut their hair post-op for these reasons? I’m 6 months out, I’m going to start taking my B-50’s again, but I think I want to start over with my hair growth. All those long strands coming out any time I touch my hair makes me cry, and I’m experiencing split ends for the first time since I stopped using heat on my hair on a regular basis (oh the ‘80’s).

So here’s the dilemma, Todd hates it when I cut my hair. When I was in my mid-teens until mid-20’s, I used cutting my hair as a mild form of self-mutilation. I didn’t look good with short hair, but I would cut it very short anyway to punish myself for some reason or another (I had a lot of internal damage). Unfortunately my hubby knows about that, so he gets freaked out whenever I cut my hair, like he did something wrong and I’m unhappy with him or my life, which is the furthest thing from the truth.

I think my hair would look healthier shorter, appear thicker, and I think it would also look cute with my face now. I’m not talking like 2 inches from the scalp, just above the shoulders.

Opinions? Suggestions? Advice?
