Guest guest Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 Hi Tim, Well, I decided to search a bit on my own in the Raw Food archive before sending you off to do so. Only seems fair and reasonable ... I found some clumps (of posts, not hair ... hahahahahaha) ... but did not look closely at what they contain. There are clumps of posts around November 15, 2006 - this one more about hair care without products vicinity of August 20, 2006 - subject lines say " Dry hair " , but who knows? Mid-July 2006 - this one specific to your topic, hair thinning and hair loss I searched on subject contains " hair " during the period from February 2005 through December 2006, I remember some discussions during that general range. Then I began scanning backward in the list that appeared. I didn't scan backward beyond July 2006, I only wished to assure myself that you WILL find something!!! And you will ... find something! Now, among all these posts you'll find people touting this or that wonder-food or wonder-product. These posts, you can discard, of course. But as I recall, some people shared their personal experiences in some detail. It's just been awhile, and typically it's not a topic to which I devote much attention (though I guess I am this time around). I know this topic concerns you, Tim ... if you stay the course on the very best program you can create, you will end up with happy hair!!! But first your body must take out the trash.

Would you be willing to search the archive a bit ... subject line contains " hair " might be a good place to start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 Tim, I will add to what Elchanan posted earlier, it's some thing short that I wrote a while back when some one else asked. Granted this is from a woman's perspective, hopefully some thing in it will be useful for you. Leah Friday, November 10, 2006 Handfuls of Hair This is some thing that I haven't talked much about outside my immediate family until recently. A request in the Path of Health caused me to write the letter below. Given that hair loss is a fairly common occurrence in the raw food journey, I thought I would share the letter and my experience. Dear , This has been happening to me. As you know, I started raw in Feb and the massive amounts of loss started less than 2-3 months into it. I had HANDFULS of hair coming out in the shower and again when I was styling it. I was beyond devastated, I considered giving up raw just to make it stop! My family was convinced it was due to lack of protein, so the constant nagging didn't help. The hair has stopped falling out, now I just have normal amounts of shedding. But I have areas that are VERY thin now, just short of bare spots. The good news is that if you lift up my bangs you can see LOTS of really short hairs. (1 inch or less) I can see that my hair is growing back, so I am a little less freaked out now. My solutions? I started taking thyrocare for obvious thyroid problems, and a very special hair cut. I had been looking into extensions or wigs to get me through until the little one inch hairs are longer... Anyway, I found a hair stylist who specializes in extensions and made an appointment. In the mean time I had been " studying " wigs and extensions on the internet. I found that I really liked the look of a Raquel Welch wig called " Boost " . When I got to the hair appointment one of the wigs she had on display was the " boost. " She looked at my hair, the bare spots and we talked options. She said I didn't have enough left for extensions. I said I would LOVE the look of the " Boost " wig... she said, you know we could very easily cut your hair like that. She got the wig down and showed me that it is a very very layered and " choppy " looking hair cut. The cut turned out to be a perfect way to make the short and long mix look like it was intended to be that way. I can't begin to tell you how much better I feel about my hair since the hair cut. It looks better (professional & trendy) and is a perfect solution to the temporary hair loss that I experienced when I first went raw. I would encourage your friend to stay the course, it is indeed temporary but I also know how terrible it makes you feel while you are waiting for you body to start rebuilding. I would strongly encourage her to meet with an experienced stylist and look at cut and style options.
