hair

I recently got a haircut, and much of the hair I have left is
post-partum (what? I say I can use it like this, so pffft). It seems
to me that my hair has turned coarser since I gave birth. Has anyone
else experienced this?

My hair's texture hasn't changed, but I did start finding the occasional
blonde strand here and there - I am dark brunette otherwise.

No. but mine seems to be thinning at the hairline. Its not
noticeable unless you saw how it looked BEFORE.
*sigh*

Yeah. Unfortunately for me its a sign of recently diagnosed hypothyroidism.

It runs in my family and I had a bout of hyperthyroidism before I
became pregnant.
I sincerely hope my thyroid isn't causing the hair thinning.

That's the change I've experienced as well, and they're all right around my
hairline, stupid things.

I mostly have them in a spot in the hairline on my forehead. I have decided
it makes me look interesting :-)

I pulled four out today, wretched things! Is it true that if you pull one
out, more grow back, kind of like Medusa's head (or am I getting my Greek
mythology confused? maybe it's a hydra I'm thinking of)?

Fairly sure that's the hydra, but I could be wrong.
I haven't noticed that pulling them out changes anything, but I'd swear the
silver hairs grow about five times faster than the dark ones!

L'Oreal is owned by Nestle, IIRC : )

Oop, I didn't know that. Guess I'll have to go grey gracefully then : )
