Call me vain but I am really frustrated with the current state of my hair. It's been over a year, almost 16 months, after my chemo and the top is still thin. What should I do to make it thicker?!?!??!
I've been using paraben/sulfate free/organic shampoos like an aloe vera or Burt's Beeswax Volumizing shampoo/conditioner. No luck there. Two weeks ago I tried using raw eggs coz I've read, and someone also told me, that it makes the hair thicker. Hmm, the jury is still out on that one. Maybe it will help if I do it more often, the egg treatment. I also read that the extracts from an aloe vera plant helps, but I do not have such plant. A former co-worker recommended using coconut oil, overnight for a few days. Tried that to no avail. Another website recommends using olive oil or flax seed oil to make it shiny and thicker, maybe I'll try that too. The last resort I can think of is to shave my hair. Not totally but just a tad bit, to even it out, and like what some folks will say, it will make the hair thicker. Hmm, what to do, what to do?
I am getting desperate. I still wear the wig because I'm so self conscious about the bald spot on my head. My mom/brother thinks the wig could be preventing the growth of my hair since I wear it all the time. Hmmm, good point but I will not go to work without the wig. I get paranoid if people stare at my head. Having a thin set of hair especially on the top is kind of scary. I miss my old hair, it was my crowning glory. These days, it's hairy-scary. ;)
