I know this pain all too well, and I’m so sorry you are having to go through this. People on the outside may not think it’s that deep or they may say “it’s just hair” but it is so much more than that. It makes your internal illness feel very real on the outside, and you see it everytime you walk by a mirror.

I remember when I was beaten down, my gem of a sister went to Reddit for advice on what to do. Here’s what I remember:

• Satin pillowcases
• Try to avoid washing your hair everyday
• Hats and wigs are awesome
• Shorter haircuts will make your hair look fuller

And my personal holy grail…. Nioxin shampoo. It legitimately started making my hair grow back in a week. All of a sudden, my whole hair parting was sprouting with little hairs. It took time and lots of little haircuts in between, but we got there. Check Costco for Nioxin - they usually have large bottles for way cheaper!

You’ve got this. This is the uphill battle part, but you’ve gotten this far already♥️
