Hi Eric and Caryn! I love the good news and darn the "gotta keep working on it" news! Hey Caryn, my hair has changed 4 times....very different each time. While others gave me "THE LOOK" and the "kind words of sympathy"...I really decided to just love it! Everytime the color changed, I'd just change the way it looked. Thank goodness for gels and mousse! Not much hair at times, but I had fun with whatever there was. You can do this, girl! Get mad and then go get ya a really cute hat for cold weather! Put those shoulders back and walk proud...you're putting the end to some really wicked guys trying to take charge of your body! Lots of luck and love, ma
