Dry And Damaged Hair

I used to think that dry and damaged hair was something I could not get rid of. I figured that was my fate, almost my tragic destiny.

You see, I used a lot of hair care products, and fine hair ran in my family. I figured that having dry damaged hair was the price I would have to pay. I did not know about dry hair treatments back then, because if I had, I would have gotten them. Having something done to fix my damaged and dry hair would have been much better than just putting up with it like I did for all of those years. If only I had known sooner!

Don't get me wrong. I had shampoo for dry scalp, I had hot hair curlers, I had hair gel, and everything else that I could think of. None of it, however, seemed to do the trick. My dry and damaged hair seemed to be unusually resilient. No matter how much I tried to get it to sit down on my scalp and behave, it would go all over the place. I would literally spend hours upon hours combing it and brushing it.

It was all in vain. I felt like I had a static electricity generator attached to my head. My dry and damaged hair had a mind of its own!

Finally, I found some moisturizing gel that was supposed to stop frizzy hair. It took me a long time to actually get around to buying it. You see, I was dispirited about my dry and damaged hair. I had used up so much money on hair care products that barely worked that I had resolved to spend no more on it. Instead, I kept my hair covered all the time. I didn't care. It was much better than facing the world with my dry and damaged hair everywhere. I figured that I would just go through life wearing hats, scarves, bandannas, and the like. It seemed like a simpler solution than finding a way to take care of my hair.

Finally, in desperation, I tried the moisturizing gel. Wouldn't you know it, it worked! My dry and damaged hair problems were no more. In less than a week, my hair was behaving itself. It felt thicker, fuller, and easier to control. It just goes to show you that you should never give up on finding a solution to your problems. It may take a while, but a solution always presents itself.

--"Know you what it is to be a child?...It is to believe in love, to believe in loveliness, to believe in belief- it is to be so little that the elves can reach to whisper in your ear, it is to turn pumpkins into coaches, and mice into horses, lowness into loftiness, and nothing into everything, for each child has its fairy godmother in its soul."
