although I may be the exception to that. Right now I'm having a "bad hair" period. I was extremely sick and hospitalized a number of times between October and January. About six weeks after I got out of the hospital the last time, about 1/3 of my hair fell out -- it came out by the hands-full! I was shocked and worried, but it eventually stopped falling out. So now, while I started with pretty thin hair in the first place, I have even thinner hair now. I had my hair cut short (removed all the old perm) and just had some color to cover the grey. I didn't want to make things worse, so I didn't have a perm this time. I look awful. My hair is as straight as a board anyway. Won't even curl with a curling iron. So, I just have to wait for it to grow back in. My hairdresser said she can see where new hair is coming back but there isn't enough of it to make a difference right now. Even though I dislike the way it looks, I didn't let it keep me from the Seattle International Film Festival - saw 25 movies in 3 weeks.
