Checked out your witchvox photo, Ravyn...nice profile, and funky
roots. MM.

I know what you mean about the thinning hair thing. I'm blessed with
very curly hair. The body of my big hair makes it look thicker, but
I flattened it a couple of months ago, with the ceramic flattening
iron...great job, but WOW I've lost hair. The 1" ponytail..<weep> <:o)

I remember as a child the hairdresser said, "You have fine hair, just
lots of it". Well, the lots of it part went out the window when I
had my daughters. Worth the trade-off. I have an aunt who has fine
hair that looks like a haze on her scalp...thin all over.

I would hate to have to cut my hair later on in life, but could
happen. Right now it's just past my shoulders, but I have PLANS for
it! :o)

The henna is making it thicker, my scalp condition is awesome...we'll
see. At least we have determined it's red. :o)

Where IS that coffee of mine....

: if I went totally white I would be tempted to stop dyeing. and two-
: tone hair would not bother me all that much--I had black length and
: cherry/burgundy roots for about 6 inches, ON PURPOSE, for about 10
: yrs. there is a small bad web-cam pic of me on my yahoo profile(s)--
: check out LadyLvsNyt or if you are not easily offended(rater R+)
: LadyHeresy in the Yahoo profiles and you will find me. (You can
also
: find a profile for me on Witches' Voice- www.witchvox.com -that
: actually tells ABOUT ME and not just an RPG character like on
Yahoo.)
: But I will not go salt-n-pepper or partly gray because it makes me
: look like my mother! My mom was not a bad looking woman--but I am
NOT
: ready to look like her yet!
: I started getting gray hairs at 17 and at 42 now I am well over
half
: gray-- probably 85%, but it is not evenly distributed. Mom had
these
: cool white streaks, not me!
: My biggest concern is not the color now but the texture. My hair is
: nearly unrecognizable from when I was young! It has greatly damaged
: my self-esteem. Thin, fine, silky, limp. It is waist length now and
I
: can braid it into one thin braid, when iw as 20 I could not get all
: my hair into 3 or 4 braids as thick as my wrist! Henna does thicken
: my hair and for that I am grateful enough to keep using it.
