Mum’s Hair Woes

My hair has been naturally-wavy and all over the place ever since I can remember. I also remember having this love-hate relationship with it since I was a little girl. I have always sported long hair because that is the way my father liked it {yep, sounds archaic but so true!} and I have this recollection of how I hate waking up with my hair so disheveled and all messy! I simply do not like the idea of combing my long hair, navigating from one tangle after another. There are just too many and it was so darn frustrating! Good thing Mama is always there to save the day, lest I am sure I will be going to school looking all tacky and unkempt!

Now that I am all grown up, after a lone relaxing treatment ages ago and a considerable amount of shampoo and conditioner, I am back with my rather frustrating relationship with my hair. I am tired of it being long almost all my life and I wanted to have a new hairstyle. But on the other, I wanted something I can easily manage as I go about my  day-to-day activities, that I was undecided about a new short hairstyle, thinking a long one which I can easily tie into a ponytail, is always the most convenient hairstyle for a mum like me. I have actually cut a few inches off my hair on two occasions now and I am rather proud of my handiwork. This will be in preparation for my plans to have it cut really short later on.

Oh well, choosing human hair wigs sounds easier, if you ask me, and convenient, too. Can you believe that woman in the picture is wearing one? I bet wigs will look great all the time and there are less tangles and no falling hair to worry. Oh well, until I know exactly what to do with my hair, it will be perpetually tied in band. I do hope it won’t mind!

It all started when I got pregnant + shows no sign of stopping! Every morning, I wake up to a few loose hair on my pillows. + when I sweep the floor, the amount of hair that has fallen + mixed with dust + dirt is really getting into my nerves. + don’t even make me talk about the hair on my bathroom floor, I would really go ballistic! Even my little man is annoyed by all it! At the rate my hair is falling, I’d probably turn bald when I am 50! A thought that actually brings me chills.

I must admit, I have not really taken much care of my hair of late, thus the nagging hair fall incidence. I haven’t got a hair trim for ages now+ instead of air-drying it after shower, I immediately gather it in a bun so it won’t get in the way while I do my mothering chores. The only care I’m giving it really is conditioning it regularly + using a hair fall control shampoo {which obviously is not doing the trick :(} If my hair could talk, I bet it will tell me to give her a break!

I wanted to put an end to this dilemma, so I did a bit of research. Not long before I discovered the solution to my problem, I stumbled upon these old hair myths + don’t we all love to bash myths 🙂
