progress

The best thing about getting my hair dyed is that is allows me to see the growth and progress. My hair is now a few shades lighter then my natural color and many of my new baby hairs are already popping through in a darker shade of brown. I can feel the little spikes and actually see them! Very encouraging. I was looking back at some older pictures this year and I can's seem to remember how the transformation from non-pigmented hair to full pigment. I guess it was pretty gradual and I was occupied with other areas in life. But there is definite progress.

My hair is actually growing fast, but still not full volume. Head massages--I swear by them. After a little movement I can feel my scalp loosen up and release tension and feel more relaxed. Most articles I have read about hair stimulation recommends massage when shampooing and conditioning. While I have never been able to spend the 10 minutes in the shower, I definitely try to give myself brief massages throughout the day to make up the time. I know it helps.
