Re: Eyelashes anyone......
Laurel,
I think God has a sense of humor. You have my old hair and I must have yours! I always heard "be careful what you wish for, you might just get it." I always complained about that straight, fine, soft stuff and wished for some curl and body. It looks like I got my wish! Now when I get up and look like a have a brillo pad on the top of my head, I just have to laugh.
Rina,
I saw my opthamologist two weeks ago and since the plastic surgeon had prescribed the Latisse for me, I asked about the safety. He assured me that I was fine using it and encouraged me to continue. The brushes they supply make the application very easy and you are advised to apply it only to the upper lashes. Those lashes are so wonderful to keep the dust and tiny particles out of my eyes.
Sarah,
Thank you for the encouragement. The Nioxin is a shampoo system that my hair dresser recommended. I could never use cream rinse before because my hair was so fine, now I have to pour it on. But, I am so PROUD to have something on my head. Actually I love it! I just want it to grow faster! Oh, well, patience is a virtue! I could not tolerate a wig- too hot and too tight. I wore mostly caps and hats with some turbans and scarfs. I really enjoyed some of those.
Take cae All. And a special thanks for responding.
Sandra
