I have been dying my hair since I was around 14 years old. I was not born with blue hair, although many people question it. I started bleaching my hair quite young (14) , it started with streaks and then I gradually went completely blonde.
As soon as I left school, I dip dyed my hair purple, then I dyed it completely purple when I was in college and then BLUE! My hair has always been very thick and long and wasn’t that damaged from all the bleaching. I decided to go back blonde when I finished university as I planned to be a teacher. Getting 4 years of blue buildup out of damaged, bleached hair was insanely hard and didn’t work. My hair was so damaged from the bleach baths over the blue that some of my hair fell out It was not noticeable.
Having coloured hair made me a lot more confident and without it, I began to get very depressed again and at this time, I also became ill with recurring acute tonsillitis and quinsy. I was ill for around 5 months and i’m still recovering but during this time, I was on extremely strong antibiotics for the majority of that time. I ended up getting my tonsils out and I noticed that my hair had been very brittle and had started falling out in huge clumps.
I have come to the point where my hair loss has become extreme where I have become too scared to brush it, wash it and even touch it… To me, hair is very important as it has made me who I am and it is a way that I express myself and I have joy in it.
My hair has been very long and thick for years…but I have panicked and cut it super short, even though it isn’t breaking from damage. My hair is falling out due to the medication, illness and stress….I had a Brittany Spears melt down, quite literally. I almost shaved my head because I got so depressed but was talked out of it (THANK GOD).
I have decided to start looking after myself better by changing my bad diet, taking vitamins for my hair and doing my own hair treatments. I will be posting updates very soon on the condition of my hair and hair growth…..Sorry that this is boring to read but writing my hair anxiety is helping me to not only keep track but a way for me to get it off my mind.
Thanks for reading anyway. Come back for updates!
