what to do

My next blog will focus on etiquette. I realize appearance is a common denominator but we can do better in terms of connecting with one another. It's been a while since someone has said something hurtful or stupid lately...until today. I helped a patron and she asked me where my cool, grayish-blond hair was. That is a good question, I replied. Seriously--do we need to be told how to rephrase things so we don't end up with back-handed comments? I guess so. Is she telling me my hair looks bad now? I know I need to let this go.

My own dilemma stems from super dry scalp and hair. I have tried everything! And there has been slight improvement. I use coconut oil, Moroccan oil, mane & tail daily. Plus I condition everyday. The only thing it can be is the medication. The squaric acid/minoxidil compound is hell on the scalp. Is it worth it? Should I go au natural? It is a few weeks until my doctor's appointment to ask for advice. It has been 4 days since my last application. Decisions decisions.

moroccan oil

My friend Kirstan bought this for me. Moroccan oil smells great, does not make your hair greasy and penetrates deeply and quickly. My hair was feeling so dry and within a few days of using this my scalp felt so much softer and healthier. The best part is that I can deep condition in the day without the greasy effect. A little pricey but worth it! Can't wait to see what long term use will do.
I still see lots of shedding but in certain parts of my scalp, hair is almost normal-ish. I think I may have spotted a grey hair today but not sure if it is white remnant or what. No matter what--I will take it. My anniversary is coming up too, almost a year. I still can't believe how far I have come with this.
