Hi Ravyn,

My hair has thinned something awful as well, I'm hoping it's just from
being all broken off a year ago, and once it all gets out to one
length again it will have regained some of it's thickness. I've been
on lots of drugs the last many years as well, and I'm worried those
have affected it. I hope once I'm able to get off of those, that may
help as well. When I was young I could never find anything that would
even hold it! I broke more pony tail holders and barrettes than I
could count!! Even my most recent hair stylist would just go nuts
over my thick hair, and that was just a few short years ago, so
hopefully it will come back.

I've got a profile on Witches Voice as well, well, I've got my online
store listed there. I had a personal one as well, but since they've
changed things around so much, and they've gotten so HUGE, I can't
find anything there anymore!! I do go and read the articles though,
it's a great site!! MM!! <|;)

Peace,
Ginny
