Women's Hair Loss Project

There is something that not very many people think about, not unless it happens to them or someone they care about. And no, it is probably not one of the many things that have suddenly come to your mind, although it is close... as close as your scalp.

I am talking about women's hair loss. When I was younger I had an intense fear that I was loosing my hair. I seemed to shed more than seemed normal for me, my hair was very thin and there were times when I would literally see blading patches on my scalp.

I say this happened when I was younger, but in truth it has happened a lot over the years. I have come to assume it is brought on by intense stress or poor diet or any of a number of other causes.

I became an expert at the comb-over that really was just a sort of fluff and tuck and shellac with a ton of hairspray to keep the hair I had over the bald spot I wanted to hide.

It is a scary thing, something that I had never talked about with anyone other than my mom before. Something that I could never be as bravely facing as the author of the Women's Hair Loss Project. The Women's Hair Loss Project is a story of bravery that I have to say I envy. The author of the blog works one day at a time to face something that most women would hide or fear. Loosing their hair.

I grew up when Farrah Fawcett was envied and mimicked by every woman with enough hair to create a hairdo like hers. My best friend had feathered hair and I had thin hair that barely managed to cover my scalp, no chance it could ever be lifted up into a feathery style to be envied by all.

Whether you have ever had experiences with fearing losing your hair or are facing the dreaded reality of women's hair loss, you should take a look at the Womens Hair Loss Blog and read the information and honest sharing of what it is like. It is something that can effect any woman and something that I think is a true showing of bravery for the lady that maintains the site and gives us all a glimpse into the fact that we're not alone when we stand in front of the mirror and fight back tears of frustration because this time the blading spot is too difficult to disguise.
