Beautiful hair so thick too looks lovely.

Mines a real mess at the moment been losing loads for a couple years now

getting thinner and thinner the strands are really thin .

Never recovered after being in hosp 2 yrs ago with pneumonia.

Came home it all frazzled up really dry then started shedding and has never stopped strands getting thinner and thinner and losing loads every day.

Your hair looks wonderful and a lovely colour too 💕X

Aww kitty we all have bad hair days,mine is a mess most of the week ,but when I have it done on a Friday it's good, some years back I started losing a lot of hair ,it was found I had under active thyriod ,it wouldn't harm for you to get yours checked,thank you kitty

Whilst busy studying the crossword Alice was blissfully unaware that a small pink and white pony was busy trampling her prized flowers.Very nice hair do my love and you do look very elegant as bernadette noted.

Oh gosh everybody lighten up. It must be a British thing you guys are a little uptight for the most part aren’t ya?. Maybe I’m not uptight enough who knows but they call the name of my state” the land of fruits and nuts” bcuz nobody trips too much here. Cannabis is legal, gambling is legal, you can marry someone of your own gender. I hope you love how I worded that ever so proper. Basically doesn’t matter what anybody thinks if you can’t joke around and have a laugh then what the hell are we here for. Oops you got me in my sweet spot: my rights as an American Citizen. I am very fortunate I hope you people are too but I’m not too educated on the history of your country unfortunately world history was not one of my strong points. Love you guys’s show party on

You ought to try being seen as an ugly woman in the UK. There are reasons for my reaction which you could never understand.

Hi hypercat ,do you know there is beauty tobe found in us all ,some times it is on the out side ,the best beauty of all comes from within ,like yourself and many many more on this forum ,you are always there for people ,and for that I send you many many thanks

Carnival567 profile image
Carnival567 in reply toSandyeggo

I think our rights mostly match yours. To be fair, the Revolutionary War was so that American citizens could have the same rights as British citizens. I am glad you love your country as I do mine, but certainly on the whole we are not so brash xx

I really love the color and it really looks soft and healthy I would’ve thought it was natural if you hadn’t mentioned hair dresser. I wish my hair would go that color but I only have one grey hair says my hairdresser but I make up for it with very wrinkled skin for my age. I’ve had extreme sun exposure and had lots of fun getting them. You’re not an old lady unless YOU say you are. An I’m not sayin👍

Alice70 profile image
Alice70 in reply toSandyeggo

The colour is natural sandy ,bit not the style , I have enough wrinkles ,not usually a sun worshiper, just old age ,I wish there was a majic formula, I've never tried anything, as I dont believe they work ,you have the right idea about the old lady bit ,thank you sandy

Maybe your hair is not white because you have benefited from all that sun building up your Vitamin D.

I love pure white hair. I used to have very dark brown hair, but now it’s iron grey, which looks horrible. I wonder if you can have silver white put in at the hairdressers, I think it’s a really flattering colour for older skins

I'll tell you what I did ,my hair was very dark in my younger days ,and as I got greyer and greyer I started to dye it blonde as some years passed I could see my roots were white ,so I let the roots grow about three inches then I had all the blonde cut off ,iwas left with a very short hair style ,it soon grew ,I havent looked back no more roots

Such a healthy looking head of hair Alice70.

Sorry you have been feeling a little down lately, but you must be

have a “ bad hair day.”

You look great! I think the best photos are taken 'candid camera style' when the person isn't posing. And I'm so envious of your hair, I have nearly fully white hair ... but it is 'hypothyroid hair' so thin and in poor condition.

Alice70 profile image
Alice70

Thank you moogle, I know what you mean about thyriod hair ,my mother myself ,sister and daughter all have hypothyriod ,my mother ,sister,daughter suffer with there hair problems ,I've been lucky I had very thick hair to start with ,I lost some before being diagnosed ,that was 30 years ago ,I've been on 125mg of levothyroxine since would you believe, my hair did thicken back up after treatment ,my sister ,daughter hair is better after treatment ,but not the same as it was ,my mother who has passed now her hair was so thin I consider myself lucky,so I know where you are coming from best wishes

Oh Alice, you look lovely. I actually like white hair. And I'm not being funny but it suits you very well. We all have those very down times when we can't seem to catch a break. But it will pass. You take care and just keep putting one foot in front of the other. We will be okay.
