I have spent over $1000 in the past month buying things for my hair. Backstory: I’ve always been blonde or very light brown. I noticed my hair was starting to thin about a year ago. I haven’t wanted to bleach it again in hopes of protecting it. Well. I’m an idiot because I ended up box dying it a cherry chocolate color and HATED IT. I then decided about 2 weeks later I’d just dye it again to a darker brown. 2 weeks after that and MY HAIR IS FALLING OUT IN CLUMPS. Each chunk of hair is one shower. I’ve bought: a natural onion and rosemary oil. K18 jumbo hair mask and the oil Kenra bonding mask leave in A gloss to close my follicles Biolage strength and recovery shampoo and conditioner Amika soul food hair mask Keratese hair mask The list goes on and on honestly. AND I got prescribed minoxidil but I can’t use it as my husband and I are trying for a baby. I’ve also been taking iron, D3, prenatal vitamins, and primal queen beef organ supplements. My ferritin is a 9. I’m just at a loss. I’m so depressed, all my hair is falling out and no new hair is growing. I know this is a combo of things but I genuinely just don’t know how to make the shedding stop. It’s both breakage AND at the follicles.   submitted by   /u/rainydaygetaway [link]   [comments]
