Starting sometime last summer my hair started falling out by the handful. My house went from having cat hair on things to having Kate hair on everything. It took me a while to catch on but it was undeniable when my hair bands went from two twists to hold in a pony tail to four twists. At that point I just moved to kid-sized hair bands.
When I found out the hair loss could all be attributed to a thyroid condition I was relieved to know the cause but completely paranoid it wouldn’t come back. But it is definitely coming back. My head is covered with new growth so that on a humid day I look like one of those kids at a science museum.
Or just like this kid.
Truly, though, I cannot complain. I am so happy to have back my full head of hair! Right now the new growth is nose-length. It won’t all stay pulled back into a ponytail if it’s humid or I’m really active, but it does pretty well.
Since my hypothyroidism diagnosis I’ve gotten one haircut and that was just to trim off the length since my thin hair was looking so stringy. A few days back I went for my first real haircut in a long while. I know this won’t have impact for anyone but me, but I got layers. Do you know what you need to have in order to get layers in your hair? Ample hair. And I have that again!
