- Thank you all so much for the lovely comments on my previous blog post about my Short Hair (see link below).
- Just like to react to one particular comment; that of Bea from Modern Country Lady.
- Also on my FB Fan Page, Bea did react. She would love to see me once again wearing the Stacked Bob Hairstyle as I have shown in a previous post.
- For your memory I will use the photo here below:
- Bea even did remember my yellow sweater... This was in April of 1992.
- How I myself would LOVE to wear this Stacked Bob Hairstyle again.
The end of 1988... Thick hair!
Would love to still have full hair like that...
Very full hair...
- This was me while working and living in Indonesia in the 90s - healthy and happy hair!
- My natural curls are still there but my hair is no longer that thick and healthy because of the Prednisone that I have taken for almost two years.
- My favorite hair dresser, Peet Kleeven from Happy Hair in my hometown Horst, The Netherlands told me in September 2011 that the very brittle and dry condition + hair loss when shampooing my hair, or brushing it, was a side effect of Prednisone... SCARY!
- During winter time especially it gets so dry, that's also a reason that I had it cut off this week.
- But I did indulge in the world's best hair brush... purchased at Neiman Marcus, see link below post.
- In August of last year I did invest in these two Mason Pearson brushes; one for travel or in my purse and one for at home.
- The cleaning brush (left) is included with the purchase of each brush, except for the pocket size that I got for traveling.
- HOW I also WISH to have bought them sooner...
- Since I brush with those, my hair loss was and is a lot less!
- Hope it will work as well for step-daughter Liz whom we gifted with exactly the same in the spring of 2014. It was very hard to obtain one as Neiman Marcus, neither Nordstrom had ANY. So I had to order mine from the UK and had it mailed to The Netherlands.
Now, 1-½ year later this same brush has gone up to $ 205.00...
- This might be a valuable tip for all those women that are going through medical treatment with Prednisone, or any other drug causing hair loss. See listing in link below.
- I can only highly recommend this to anyone; regardless the steep price you pay for them.
- But compared to my healthcare bills it is nothing!
- Also in England they do make similar Kent brushes, for men. See link below.
- Again, I hope this will help somebody else with the same condition!
If any of you has had a similar experience, I would love to hear from you.
No wonder that the Daily Mail UK deze Mason Pearson brush mentions in: 50 things to buy before you die.
They also mention that if cared for correctly, a Mason Pearson brush should last a lifetime!
Vermont Country Store sells them too and they mention them as Princess Diana's Favorite, For a Lifetime Of Beautiful Hair...
