Possible Reasons Why You Are Suffering From Hair Loss

DISCLAIMER: I am in no way an expert in hair care. This post is my testimony of my hair journey's trials and triumphs. Please talk to your doctor and/or beautician for any professional advice.

I washed my hair this morning and I am so happy with how much my hair health has improved I decided to write a blog post that will hopefully encourage those of you are suffering from hair loss.

I started experiencing severe hair shedding after I had my first daughter. I couldn't figure out what was going on. Was my hormones, heat damage, stress or a combination of all three? I spoke with both my doctor and beautician. They gave me advice on what to do but nothing seemed to work. My hair would only grow below my ears before breaking off again. I continued to fight on/off  hair battles for the next 15 years!!! What was even worse, I started losing hair in the top center of my scalp. I did everything I knew to do. I drank plenty of water. I watched what I ate. I avoided hair styles that required a lot of heat. I eventually started wearing extensions to cover my frustrating embarrassment.

Put a Pin for a Minute Myth Moment: Most people believe African American women wear weaves and wigs because they have no hair. While this might be true for some, it is definitely not fact for everyone. Not only are extensions and wigs a great way to protect your natural hair but they allow flexibility to changes up styles, lengths and hair color. I started wearing extensions to protect my hair but now I love the conveniences and options they give me to switch it up without the worry.

Now back to the blog...


In the summer of 2010 and out of frustration, I decided to cut off my. My plan was to keep short and sassy but then my hair started growing... rapidly. I thought "Hm...maybe all of my hair worries are over." Then in 2011, my little sister passed away and before I knew it, I found myself doing the Donald Trump swirl to hide the thin spot in the top of my head.

That's when I decided; Enough was enough! It was time to dig a little deeper and do some research. So I prayed and asked God to guide me...



While I already knew stress played a huge role in my hair loss, I also discovered certain medications were big factors as well. Certain pain medicines, including the ibuprofen I took for migraines was one of the reasons why my hair shedded so much. When I switched medicine, much of my shedding came to an automatic cease. I also realized that my hair was paying an unhealthy price because of my frugal nature when buying hair care products. I had to learn the hard way that you truly get what you pay for. I started investing in my hair by buying products that would help to heal, strengthen and reinvigorate my hair. Today, my hair is longer and healthier than ever. Will I ever stop wearing extensions? I doubt it. The perks are far to great besides it feels good to know that when I do wear my natural hair, no one can tell the difference!

May 2013

 Listed below are some possible reason for hair loss. Please take the time to click on the resource link included for more information. And remember Don't Give Up. There so many solutions to hair loss. You just have to find the one that best suits your needs!
  1. Stress
    • Stress is a part of life but it doesn't have to rule your life. Grief was a huge stressor for me and it was affecting me mentally and physically. It took prayer, support and my making the decision to not let our loss consume me. God showed me how to convert my pain into purpose. I encourage you to do the same.
  2. Medicines (Before you stop taking your medicine ALWAYS ALWAYS talk to your doctor first!)
    • According  Web MD (Drug Induced Hair Loss) Many different types of drugs are thought to cause hair loss, including:
    • Acne medications containing vitamin A (retinoids)
    • Antibiotics and antifungal drugs
    • Antidepressants   
    • Birth control pills
    • Anticlotting drugs
    • Cholesterol-lowering drugs  
    • Drugs that suppress the immune system  
    • Drugs that treat breast cancer  
    • Epilepsy drugs (anticonvulsants)
    • High blood pressure medications (anti-hypertensives), such as beta-blockers, ACE inhibitors, and diuretics
    • Hormone replacement therapy  
    • Mood stabilizers  
    • Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)  
    • Parkinson's disease drugs  
    • Steroids
    • Thyroid medications
    • Weight loss drugs
    • Excessive Heat and Chemicals
    • Cheap Hair Care Products
    • Be careful when choosing cheaper hair care products. Read the label and watch out for ingredients that can strip your hair of the essentials oils it needs to stay shiny and strong.
  3. Medical Problems
    • Talk to your doctor. There may be an underlying cause to why you are suffering from hair loss. He/She will be able to perform the tests needed to determine this.
  4. Malnutrition Top 10 Foods for Healthy Hair
    • We overlook the role a healthy diet plays in maintaining healthy hair. You are what you eat. Healthy eating leads to healthy hair. 
    • Lisa Drayer, New York Nutritionist says."The nutrients you eat today help fortify the hair follicle -- from which each strand is born -- and the scalp that surrounds it. "Healthier follicles? Healthier hair. Healthier scalp? Healthier hair!" 
  5. Questionable Beauticians
    • If your beautician is doing more harm than good on your hair...I have just one thing to say "SWITCH".
Every person is different so it's important to choose a hair regime that works for you. No one knows your body like you do. Sometimes it helps to do the research.

Stuffed Swiss Chicken Tutorial


Stuffed Swiss Chicken 
 
 
Life Made Easy
This recipe was sent to me on Facebook. My family loved it. Of course I had to add my own touch. Ingredients in green are my little tweeks to suit my taste.

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts or 8 chicken tenderloins
Salt and black pepper
4-6 slices baby Swiss cheese
1 can Campbell's Cream of Chicken soup
1/3 cup milk
1 stick butter, melted
1/2 cup Real Bacon Bits
 1 bag of Pepperidge Farm seasoned stuffing mix (not cubes) or 1 small box Stovetop Chicken stuffing mix

 Heat oven to 350 degrees. Spray 9 x 9 baking dish with cooking spray. Arrange chicken in pan and season to taste with seasoned salt and black pepper. Top each breast with a slice of cheese. Combine soup and milk in a small bowl and whisk until smooth. Pour soup over chicken to cover breasts entirely. Combine melted butter and Stovetop in a small bowl (moisten a little more with some warm water if it seems too dry) and scoop over top of chicken. Sprinkle Bacon Bits on top. Bake for 30-35 minutes.

Tyler Perry's Tempation: LME Review

My husband and I went to see Tyler Perry's latest movie "Temptation". Now, I am trying my best to be careful as I write this review because even though I enjoy some of Tyler's work, my principles as a Christian are different from his so I wouldn't say this is a Christian movie. Still he' very talented and I can appreciate the message he sent in this movie.
Temptation presents an onscreen representation of the 80/20 rule regarding love and marriage. Movie characters Brice and Judith are childhood sweethearts who grow up to marry and move away to start life on their own. Six years into the marriage, Judith finds herself growing inpatient of her stagnant career as a marriage counselor. Judith also finds herself questioning the spice and strength in her own marriage once she meets business client Harley, who introduces her to a world she's never before experienced.
A very rich Harley seduces her with his promiscuous charm and promises to give her a life of luxury and fulfill her career goals. At first, Judith refuses Harley's advances but soon gives in after an unsuspecting Brice fails to give her the attention she desires. Judith and Harley embark on a whirlwind lust affair that ends with all parties paying a significant price of pain.

I was surprised when I read some of the reviews of online critics. Namely, Veronica Miller, writer for the Grio, who wrote she was annoyed with the "heavy-handed punishment of a female character who happened to be interested in sex, and the implication that the rest of her days on Earth were doomed to loneliness and regret. Oh. And HIV." I strongly disagree with Ms.  Miller. In fact, the CDC reports "African Americans have the most severe burden of HIV of all racial/ethnic groups in the United States. African Americans accounted for an estimated 44% of all new HIV infections among adults and adolescents (aged 13 years or older) in 2010.." In my opinion, this movie provided yet another eye opener for it's viewers.  Tyler kept it real and produced a movie that exposed one of the biggest problems that's affecting most marriages. Today's inpatient couples are splitting up at the first signs of boredom and adversity. They are quick to forget their vow to stay together "for better or for worse". Marriage takes work and has it's ups and downs. God ordained it to be forever....PERIOD!

B's Thumbs Up: I give this movie a thumbs up because it's relatable and it gives you a cold hard view into what can happen if you act selfishly and irresponsibly. Hollywood constantly sensationalizes lust and sin. They are blinding the public's ability to tell the difference between what's fake and real. I applaud Tyler for writing the truth in this regard. As my husband and I were leaving the theatre, we overheard to two women talking about the movie. One said to the other, "Thank you for bringing me to see this. I see where you were coming from. Tyler showed me that in this movie" The other woman replied "I told you. Think about it before you make your decision." I would like to think this movie helped someone make this decision not to give up on  her marriage but instead fight.

B's Thumbs Down: Tyler is very talented at his craft but I have to give him a thumbs down when it comes to applying biblical principles in this movie. He gives the audience a lukewarm interpretation of what Christianity is all about and we all know how God feels about a lukewarm Christian (Rev.3:16) Also, it was agitating to see Judith's mom who (in the movie) was also a reverend, curse at her son in law, Brice, and then justify her slip up after he tells her she shouldn't be cursing. For once...no lemme change that, From now on, I would like to see Tyler write characters with strong Christian values minus the cursing, misquoting of scripture and bar scene fellowships. We are to reverence the word of God and not make light of God's doctrine. I understand the desire to keep it real and relatable but it can be done without compromising the standard (Sherwood Pictures has proven that). If we are going to acknowledge God for his might, power and ability to change any circumstance then go all out!!! Jesus Christ died on the cross so that we can be free from sin.

Tyler, you say God has blessed you and has given you a platform to help the people so please start writing characters with true Godly standards and stop writing lukewarm christian characters who will only become a stumbling block for those (your viewers) who are seeking to know God.

How to Avoid Lady Hands

Before you continue reading STOP and look at your hands..
 
My heart dropping moment was when I noticed the old lady hands typing at my computer. I'm only in my 30's so why did my hands look like they were approaching retirement? The answer is plain and simple...NEGLECT. Our hands go through a lot during the day and are easily overlooked. Think about it. We work, cook, clean, style hair, give kiddie baths, bite our nails etc. The list goes on and on.
 
I recently discovered the True Blue hand scrub and lotion system while shopping at Bath and Body Works and let me tell ya.....I am in love!!!
 
First, I used the 60 second manicure hand scrub and followed up with the hand softening lotion. My hands now look youthful and feels silky smooth. I highly recommend this product. These items are currently on sale at Bath and Body Works; Buy Two, Get One Free.

 
Here are a few additional tips on how to Avoid "Old Lady" hands.
  • Remember to moisturize.
  • Use glove while cleaning or using harsh chemicals.
  • Whether at the salon or at home, give yourself a manicure. Keep those fingernails looking neat and healthy. Be sure to push those cuticles back, file, buff and apply nail polish or clear coat.
  • Apply Sunscreen when needed.
 Now go and take care of those hands!!! (PS I am not getting paid to endorse these products.)

Extreme Couponing & Publix Deals


I don't consider myself to be an extreme couponer. Unless it's for church or charity, I don't see the need to coupon for 100 sticks of deodorant and 75 bottles of soda (besides that has to be murder on the kidneys). For me, it's all about cutting down on our grocery bill while building a reasonable stock pile based on my family's needs. Since we started couponing, our grocery bill has reduced by 60%. Couponing has also helped us to upgrade to purchasing name brand items for less the cost of generic. Extreme couponing is not for everyone but saving money is!

Please click on the link to watch my Basics to Couponing Tutorial.
 
It might just be me but I found this week's deals at Publix to be a little scarce. Listed below are some of the coupon deals I found.

How to Make Scratch Off Valentine's Day Cards

Okay, I know that I am barely getting in under the wire with this post since Valentine's Day is tomorrow but these cards are so easy to make it should be no problem; especially for those of you who are on a budget. I found this cute idea on Pinterest. Special thanks to my hubby who helped me paint with these cards. I am making these for the Marriage Conference at our church this weekend. Let Get Started.

Supplies Needed
Acrylic Paint
Dish Detergent
Paint Brush
White Crayon
Water Bottle Cap
Valentines Day Card (Click Here If You Would Like for Me to Email You My Template)





Print Your Card. Write in Valentine's Gift Options (I printed mine on card.)

Mix One Part Detergent with Two Parts Paint. A little really does go a long way. I used a water bottle cap to hold paint.

Color Over Hearts With White Crayon. (This protects writing from paint)


Paint Card. You will need to paint generously over the wording (dabbing the paint helps). Don't worry, it will dry flat. Card will need to dry for one hour before it's ready.


Voila! Go and Make Someone's Day Special!!!

Special thanks to Alejandra of Home Organized for sharing her video  "How to Fold T-shirts" on youtube.
