The Sink Question

Usually I am ok with my hair issues. USUALLY! But sometimes when I see that there is 10 hairs or more in the sink (or shower), I temporarily lose my head. It takes a few moments of reciting “ohmigawd” before I become rational.

1928 A Remarkable Year in Hair Restoration

This miracle hair growth fez was profiled in the 1928 edition of Popuar Mechanics. Apparently, you only needed to wear it for 10 minutes a day for 30 days -and voila instant new hair. Isn’t it the coolest. Its just a hat. And you just wear it for 10 […]

The Hulkster is Bald

How did this escape me? I had no idea until tonight, that Hulk Hogan was bald. No idea. It didn’t even occur to me, that this may be the case. Man am I losing my bald-ar. To defend my stupidity, I had never seen him without his ‘do rag. […]

Quebec Baldies - Are You Out There?

Alright you Montreal bald folk - are you looking for an Alopecia support group?
I have just found out (well technically I would have known for almost 2 weeks, if I read my email regularly) that there is a really great support group in the Montreal area.

Support Groups - Yay or Nay

Do you find that a support group helps you with your hair loss situation?
Do you find it comforting, to be around people who are dealing with the same issues?
Could you please let me know, or vote in my poll.
Just for curiosity sakes….Thanks.

What Burns Me Up

I am cleaning my house today….giving everything a real good clean - before the repair people come in a day or two. I have been going through everything, and throwing things out. I just found 3 phone books from 2007 (city directory and yellow pages x 2) and on each one, they have […]
