Just Venting...

[Maxine]

I feel sorry for men with thin hair. I feel even sorrier for women. People say things like, "damn! Your hair is thin! I can see right through your hair!" Boy, does that ever suck. I just wanna beat the sh*t out of snotty, thick-haired women for saying that! What do they think???? I ENJOY having hair like this? Or, I go to my stylist and say, "would you make my hair thin, hun, so people can see right through it?" Wigs are either inexpensive and ugly and fake-looking or they are too far out of my price range for a really good one in the style I want. :freaked: I'm so tired of dealing with this...sighhhhh....20 f----ing years! And let me tell you, I AM BEAUTIFUL for my age! Slim, toned body, very few wrinkles, nice teeth and smile...just hair that SUCKS!!!!!! Sorry, but I am just pissed off about my condition and really need to vent. I don't know WHAT to do. I am going back to my gynecologist on Friday for a repeat of the blood tests to see if anything's changed. I am THOROUGHLY disgusted with the way I look. At this point, if someone told me that cutting off my little finger would give me a full, luxurious head of hair, I do believe I would do it without thinking twice! Isn't that just awful? Oh well, thanks for listening.

I understand how you feel

I am just starting dealing with my hair loss and I am completely scared to death. I just want to cry all the time. I had always had a head full of hair, it is baby fine, but there was a ton of it. Now, when I touch my scalp, I feel as if I touch more skin than hair. I am really scared and I hope that my doctor will have some knowledge of what to try.

But think of it this way...there might be people that don't have pinkies that would give up their hair for beautiful pinkie fingers?!?! :hairy:
I don't know...I am just trying to think of a way to make you feel better.
You'll have to overlook my sense of humor or lack thereof. I hope that they can figure out something for you too when you go to the doctor. Good luck.

A pinkie? Hell, I'd give up 2 whole fingers. And I'm not kidding.

A pinky, maybe. But believe me, my husband had a table-saw accidnet at work a few years back, you don't want to lose more than a pinky.
Toes, anyone???

Hey, Maxine, venting is sooooo good for the soul, esp. on forums when no one gets hurt :hairy:
I am reminded of this lady I sat behind in church awhile back: the lights were glaring off her scalp. I felt soo bad for her. You wonder how women learn to live with that?

(((((((Karen))))))))) You'll laugh and cry...

Girrrrrrllll I know what you mean when women with thick hair complain about having a bad hair day or that they don't like their hair cut!!!! You just want to shake them and say, "DOG GONE IT!!!!! Be thankful you HAVE hair!!!!!" Speaking of stylists, I have a really sad story to tell yall. Get your kleenex out cuz this one's a tear-jerker and will bring about real catharsis. One day recently, my daughter who is 16 and has thick, long, luxurious hair like I used to, decided she need a trim. I decided I needed my 1 strand (LOL) trimmed too so we both went to the beauty shop. By the way, I HATE going to the beauty shop, don't yall? Even though it only takes 1 minute for a trim (because there's no hair to deal with), you have to sit in that chair and look at yourself in the mirror! Okay..back to my story. First the stylist trims my hair. She says while trimming it..."your hair's thin! Don't you take hair vitamins? Are you taking some kind of medication making it thin? Are you under alot of stress? Yes. Yes. Stress causes this!!! Stress!!!!" I thought to myself, "WELL DUH!!!! I DIDN"T KNOW THAT!!! Yah, lady YOU are stressing me out right now. Shut up!" After she trimmed me, I swept off the 2 hairs from my shoulders , got out of the chair and let my daughter have her turn. I felt like a comment was coming when the stylist ran her fingers through my daughter's thick mane and sure enough, there it was..."Beeeauuutiful hair! Beautiful! She certainly doesn't take after mom, does she?" I felt my eyes burn as they welled up with tears. This just shows some people have absolutely zero sympathy or empathy for the plight of follicly-challenged women or men. Now...place your hand up to the monitor screen and feel my pain. There now...here's a tissue.
Okay...I've had my laugh and cry for the day. Thanks yall for letting me type this. :lol:

I simply DO NOT want to believe that c__t said that. What a b**ch. People like that should't be allowed in public.
I must say, you behaved MUCH better than I would have! :evil: Esp. with scissors so handy! :twisted:
At least, I would have talked to her boss. And never go there again.

HOW AWFUL 8O 8O 8O 8O and how cruel. God will get her.

Hey Mariejo

Hey Mariejo! Will you come with me next time I get my hair trimmed? You can help me take that b**ch stylist down! We'll hold her over the sink and wash her mouth out with shampoo! Well, if it makes ya feel any better, I didn't leave her a tip. I haven't been back to her since and my daughter won't go to her either! :rockon:

 

[mariejoe]

Sure, I'll come and help. I think we should give her a new hairdo. Really chop it off. Or, maybe over-process a perm, it'll all fall out... and she would have to wonder what caused her hairloss:laugh: Well, I guess I really wouldn't do THAT, but, she could certainly use some people-skills. Or, she should just stay in her cave!

I imagine you won't be welcome back anyway, without having left a tip!
