Hair Treatments

I have always known that I have really really really thin hair.  I've just always known that.  My mom has thin hair, and my grandpa started wearing a toupee as soon as he returned home from his mission.  Did you know that the hair jean is passed down from the mothers, father?  Good thing I love my grandpa so darn much, or I would have a hard time forgiving him for what he has done to me!  So, I was never meant to have great hair but, that has never stopped me from trying just about everything to get my hair to grow and thicken.  Here are a few of the remedies I have tried:

1. The Hair Zapper

I will never forget the day my aunt pulled this lil' beauty out of the closet!  Now the above picture is the essential idea of what the "hair zapper" looked like but the one my aunt gave me was probably made in the 80's and it looked more like a glass hand held garden  rake.

  

So here's how it works.  We would plug it in, it would turn red and yellow,\ then it would start shooting off jolts of electricity through to the tips of the comb!  While the electricity is pulsing through I would comb it through my scalp!  It was the strangest feeling on my head!  The best part about the Zapper was how much fun my friends and I had with it, I wonder if that is why we are so weird sometimes!  We thought it was the funnest thing to play with.  Looking back I shouldn't have let them use it  because they already had thick long hair, and I needed to save all the juice for my head!  Needless to say the only thing the "Hair Zapper" did for me was help me make friends.  But I can't help but wonder if Annie would have such thick hair if it wasn't for me and the "hair zapper."

2. Mayonnaise

My senior year I would pull out our huge Costco sized tub of mayo and lather mayo all throughout my hair.  I would then put on a shower cap to trap the nutrients, I actually can't remember why I wore a shower cap but, I do know that it heated up the mayo.  It was so gross!  After a while liquid mayo would be dripping down my face.  Yuck, you would think after spending 45 minutes wiping liquid mayonnaise of my face I would try to find another way to make my hair grow but no!  I did the mayo treatment all the time!

3. The double Pony Tail

 Yep I thought I was being so tricky!  The double ponytail made your hair look longer!  But it didn't make my hair grow, and since my hair was so short you could easily see the two ponytails, but Cami gave it shot!

4.  Biotin

I have also taken biotin supplements but I never saw any improvements.  But man, did I take the pill religiously!  

Now you know the woe's of my thin hair problems!  I think I probably say this to 2 or 3 people a week and I'll tell you too:  When I get to heaven I will have the thickest, healthiest, and longest hair.  My hair will also have a soft natural curl.  That vision I just gave you is why I am trying so hard to CTR!
