Thanks for sharing, Lauren. The short cut looks super cute on you! I just went out and bought myself a boar bristle hair brush based on your informative post! :)
Thank you Naomi, that's very kind. I liked the look/style of the "Raincry Condition" paddle brush - they are made in France and seemed like really good quality. Definitely pricier than some other versions you can find online - but I wanted something that I really loved. The Bay actually carries them for a discounted price, so I picked mine up there:
Thanks for sharing Lauren. Hair loss is so personal and scary. I’m sorry your experiencing it. I have had phases of hair loss, thinning and to the scalp bald patches (got a beauty one right now) my whole life and agree that doctors don’t provide much empathy nor solutions. Mine is claimed to be alopecia. It’s comes and goes. The best thing I did was to share about it. Talk about it, show pictures of it and normalize it. It’s amazing how much more “normal” it feels just by sharing it with others. I hope you get a sense of that from this post. Image is so powerful and how we see ourselves has such an impact on our lives. Please know you are a healthy, beautiful, human having a human experience. Don’t feel defeated ❤️
Thank you so much Erin. I really appreciate you sharing this and I think you're right, sharing about it does take off some of the pressure and weight. A good reminder that this is a human experience. Thanks again and lots of love!
Wow. I’m sorry you are going through this. Thanks for sharing. It’s not always easy to share these things. Thanks for being vulnerable to helps others. No surprise there (😉). Any recommendations on shampoo or conditioners? I am leaving now to look for a new brush……..
Thank you Shawn, I was definitely nervous posting this one today. Yay, I'm sure you'll love the boar bristle brush, it's such a nice massage! They gave me shampoo and conditioner recommendations, but I didn't share them because they were unique for my scalp conditions and I didn't want to steer anybody in the wrong direction. xx

This was so informative Lauren! Your hair looks great :) Where did you get your brush from?

Did they recommend any particular shampoos to use. I just use my Dove soap.
Yes, they gave me recommendations for shampoo and conditioner. I didn't share the recommendations because they were unique for my scalp conditions.
The bar soap? I bet it works great - you still have hair so that’s good! Xo
I am happy that I do have a full head of hair and don't really care what colour it is. lol Xo
