I feel as though many men do not understand how it is for a woman to lose her hair. If a man loses his hair, it is not as big an issue, in my opinion. I would like your opinions. Does he understand when you show him bald spots with tears in your eyes? Let's see what you have to say.

I'm with everyone trying to find a simpler hair style. Some days I just can't fix it. My arms hurt too and it just wears me out.

I agree with graying naturally, and I now have salt-and-pepper hair. We really don't need the chemical exposure of dyes and hair products, some of which are cancer-causing.

Don't worry, Giselle, it will most likely grow back. ๐Ÿ’œ

Sharon, I think that white hair is beautiful. Your hair is pretty. If you really wanted to try something different (not that you need to), maybe you could try a blonde rinse. I took 2 years of cosmetology, and I agree that it would be very difficult to color your hair dark. The color would not absorb into your hair well, and it would take many applications. The touch-ups would be complicated as well.

Your hair looks very nice. I think that finding a simpler style is a great idea. We all need to simplify our lives, particularly when we have Lupus.
