"Color it if you want. Nothing you do or don't do will have any effect on whether you lose more hair or not. Trust me. I know this. What will be will be. Coloring your hair before didn't make you start to lose it, so coloring it now…"

Does cover the spot a bit better but think it will still require a hat or scarf occasionally-especially if the wind blows. Maybe some holding jel or muose. another day another…"
nojash replied to dorna wright's discussion Short or long hair"I am the same age as you. I have AA. My hair is shoulder length from being jaw length when I got AA.
