hairy thoughts

those of you who know me in real life and through this blog
are aware that i have thick, curly hair. (in case you didnt know this, now you do!) that said, it may seem odd that im sharing with you the following bit of information that is meant for women with thinning hair. but it really is not odd at all. i have a friend who has lupus who has experienced hair loss. she heard from a pregnant friend of hers that prenatal vitamins promote hair growth. after getting the okay from her physician she began taking them for her hair loss and it worked! her hair has grown back. she still has bald patches, but she does have hair!! its amazing.
before my friend was diagnosed with lupus she had beautiful hair. when she began losing her hair it was devastating. it is disheartening for a man to lose his hair, but for a young, single woman it is far worse.
i dont think that pre-natal vitamins work for male hair loss. sorry guys. for all of you ladies out their who may be experiencing hair loss , try using pre-natal vitamins. they work!
