my hair

the wrong part of me is thinning. not my ass, nor my tummy, or my thighs. my hair is thinning significantly. i've lost almost half of my volume and this is very upsettting, as i'm sure you might guess.

i went to the doctor about it. he said it's not anything medical, as far as he can currently tell. i am trying to eat more veggies. i've also changed my shampoo/conditioner and am planning to take cooler showers (much to the rest of my body's objections). i am currently on shampoo/conditioner #3. if it isn't a shampoo thing, i will have enough shampoo/conditioners to last the rest of the year. oh, how i wish that were humorous hyperbole.

currently, the theory is that it's stress. i'm trying to relax more (not working...) and i may join a gym or start trying to find ways of exercising because if my hair is going to be thin, the rest of me should be too.

your prayers and any other suggestions are welcome.

Oh yeah, that started happening to me when I was studying for my candidacy exam (second year) and it's still going on (now in my fourth year). I think it's getting better because I have less stress now (defending in June). Shape magazine had a thing about hair loss last month - they say hair loss is caused by too few calories/protein/iron/vitamins A and C. This is probably true too, because my church's blood drive won't take my blood (not enough Fe). I'm eating more vegetables now, so maybe that is helping too? Wow, that's a long comment. Good luck! :)

ack - worlds colliding!! ;-) hehe - j/k. stress is probably a big part of it. the good news is, as your stress levels decrease, your hair should begin to re-thicken (hmm - is that a term?). other than that, i agree with allison - your i'm-a-poor-starving-student diet is probably not helping much. ;-)
