Re: Hair

Hi Gerri,

You have beautiful hair now, for sure! 10 months...that is about how long I will have to wear this silly wig. I'm on my third wig. No one told me about staying away from BBQ's and hot ovens. I kinda melted a few in the front, they looked frizzy and weird. This one is blond highlights & short, and I am not a blond so it's been an interesting experiment.

I sometimes put eyebrow pencil on my barely-there eyebrows which works ok if I keep my hands off so they don't smear, in which case I look rather deranged with eyebrows going every which way

Some people say their eyelashes never came back as full. Did you find that true?
