Jayne (Husband): Oh, I think you might wanna reconsider that last part. See, I married me a powerful ugly creature. Mal (Wife): How can you say that? How can you shame me in front of new people? Jayne (Husband): If I could make you purtier, I would. Mal (Wife): You are not the man I met a year ago.

A friend went through the same thing Connie, and it has saved his life. For reals.

So, being a menopausal woman of 53, my hair is thinning. It's finally bugging me. I am not someone who will go to a salon and drop dozens of dollars on a regular basis, so I'd like to know what sorts of things work that I could find in the supermarket/drug store. The color's hanging in there well, and I'm seeing more silver than grey, but if the hair's not there it can't be nicely glittery in the sun.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Start with a volumizing shampoo, then I have gotten good volume from BigSexyHair's Root Pump and Aveda's Volumizing spray.

Dry shampoo will cut down on shine, but I use it (Tresemme, cheap, and smells nice!) not only for when I have lank unwashed hair, but when I am doing a style that demands some grit and fluff in the hair.

Is your hair fine, Connie? Strix's advice seems good for hair that has gotten thinner and finer. But if your hair has that Witchy Poo quality mine can get, then my advice is the opposite: coat it with coconut oil for an hour or more before you wash it and it will be soft and luxurious feeling again. I often slather it with oil and then put it in a braid or a bun and it looks fine all day, then I wash it in the evening.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Biotin and/or Primrose Oil as a supplement is supposed to be good for hair strength & volume.

My hair has always been fairly thick, and I normally wear it up. But summer is well here--90 degrees today--so it's time for the yearly shearing. At least the curl will hide the thin patches.

ION, Hubby's supposed to get a shot every night at 9 pm for about a week, so we're up here in Salt Lake City again. It's a two hour round trip for us. I feel sorry for the poor folks who are coming in from out of state.

On the good side, a little place called Curry in a Hurry does really good naan.

Oh, and I will be getting up at 4:30 am for the next several days to put Hubby on the train to get to his 7:15 bone marrow draw. Cancer is a full time job. We're having to do the train because we can't afford the gas to keep driving.
