‘A woman who cuts her hair is about to change her life.’ — Coco Chanel

After three months of isolation, and prior to that the three years of isolation from the pandemic, my hair has been neglected. Big time. My hairstylist in Sri Lanka sent me a message after seeing my photo on Facebook. “Cut your hair!” she said. Many of my friends in Sri Lanka voiced the same message, because they knew me with short hair, which I’ve had for many decades.

Now that I’ve experienced long hair again, I’m over it.

I was going to buy a book about hair loss, but the pages kept falling out….

My hair has been falling out at an alarming rate, which has been very disturbing since I’ve always liked my hair, even after it’s turned white, silver or whatever non-color it’s called. Thin, it has never been…ever…until now.

Has this happened to any of you who read my column? Gone from thick hair that only needed two wraps of a scrunchy to three wraps?

I know men go through this. I married one who had very little hair. But I’ve only seen a couple of women who have endured handful after handful of hair loss daily. Except for women who have gone through chemo. I can certainly understand that shock they must go through.

The doctors I’ve seen through my stupid back ordeal have no clue as to the cause of my hair loss. One thought it could be from steroids. I’m not on steroids. The Internet says it could be from some mysterious cause that they’d tell you what it is, after watching their 15-minute sales pitch.

My cure is, cut it!. Chop it off.

I did find a post from a woman who had rapid weight loss and hair loss, which she claims happened due to her weight loss. Interesting.

This week I went to my hairstylist, Kris at Snips in Lakeport. She definitely noticed how thin my hair was. Finally, someone who noticed. But then being so isolated for so long, how could anyone notice?

I tagged four pictures of me on my phone, with different lengths of hair to show Kris. By the time we discussed this and that, I was ready for short-to-the-ears rather than to the collarbone. I just sat back and let Kris do her thing, and while she was snipping, she mentioned to her other client that I write for the Lake County Record-Bee. Well, that stirred things up!

That client said she reads my column every week. “I’ve often thought that I’d run into you one day, and now I have!” she said, with excitement in her voice. What a thrill actually meeting one of my “unknown” readers. A first.

Of course the conversation between the three of us ran to people of a certain age losing their hair. But it seemed as though I was the biggest loser on that topic!

My uncle, my favorite aunt’s husband, once told me that the best thing I had going for myself was my hair.

Uncle Henk didn’t have to acknowledge that I was also damn smart, probably because he was smarter than me and most anyone I’ve ever met; switching back and forth between six languages when talking to people while he held court at a luncheon at Michigan State University; he also set up an economic system in Brazil…he told me how most of his Brazilian counterparts there wondered why he didn’t have a woman on the side like all Brazilian men. If they knew my fabulous aunt, they’d know why he didn’t need a woman on the side! He was also a professor of International Law at MSU. So, yes, any compliment from Uncle Henk was a good compliment.

But once again, I digress.

What’s a girl to do?…show off my fresh new “do” at “FISHWRAP,” the play put on by Lake County Theatre Company at the Soper Reese Theatre…my first outing since the day before Thanksgiving!
