Can I please find some folks to pray for me. My hair recently had to be chopped short and in bad layers because it was ruined due to overprocessing by bad highlights and then a straightener. I have been crying daily. It's affecting my relationships with my husband, my kids, and my parents. I'm super depressed. I haven't been eating well. I've prayed and prayed. I know it will take time, but it's really eating at me. I just want it to get a little healthier and not look so horrible. I'm really depressed because of this as I used to have long beautiful hair that wasn't so damaged. I look like I am a burn victim but I'm not. :(

You don't sound old enough to be married but stop crying instantly. This too shall pass. I might feel sorry for you if you had been diagnosed with cancer and your hair fell out from chemo treatments. Let this be a lesson to you that God gave your hair to you for your glory and for a covering. Vow a vow to leave it alone and I'm sure that God will help it to grow out speedily. Cut the split ends off?? That is such an idiotic (although commonly used) argument for a reason to keep chopping one's hair off until you don't have anymore hair on your hair than a shorn sheep or a clean cut man and that IS a shame.
I would be feeling ashamed but a broken and contrite spirit will wash your eyes with tears so you might see and God won't refuse a sincere repentant cry from a wayward child. Your family will stand by you if you realize and focus by example that your beauty of spirit is not going to fail in this little problem which isn't even a life crisis but a self made problem concerning vanity. Save your energy for the real storms of life and learn from your mistakes. Think of the real burn victims and go bring them cheer knowing that you will recover back to normal and they may have scars for life. This should help you to feel for those who cannot help what has happened to them. Go visit those poor people and you will forget about yourself and come away thankful and with a perspective on what really matters in life. Time heals all things; a good attitude takes care of the rest!

Awww, I'm sorry! It sounds to me, if I may say so, that there are greater issues here than just your hair. I think perhaps your hair symbolizes something for you, perhaps youth, or a time when you felt better overall about yourself. Take this as a great opportunity to work on your self-esteem. You have managed to get over the first hurdle, which is to realize that something's not right with your self-esteem, and with your mood. You admit you don't feel happy about things right now.

First of all, I want to point out that you could have a chemical imbalance causing depression. When you are clinically depressed, you tend to be depressed either for no reason, or for a reason that seems kind of petty. But your feelings of depression are VERY real, even if there is no reason for them, or just a small reason. I recommend going to a doctor who can prescribe anti-depressants and seeing if one may help you. Once the anti-depressant restores the balance in your brain, then you can think clearly about things, and be able to know how to deal with your hair and how this makes you feel.

I have gotten pretty disgusted at various times about my hair too, so I understand that this can feel like a terrible thing. But I think you need to realize that people are going to love you for who you are, and not for your hair.

But anyway, as for some practical hair advice....my hair got all damaged too. What I was doing wrong was using WAY too much shampoo. When I invested in a high-quality shampoo, and started using only the proper amount, that did wonders for my hair. You are worth it. Go see a stylist who can help you with the physical aspects of this problem.

And furthermore, I will pray for you. (I'll no doubt think of you when I go to do my hair tomorrow!). And you may try to tell God exactly how you feel, and let Him answer you - whether it be through the voices of others, or through an idea that comes into your mind, or perhaps He will send you a great sense of peace.

So, address this problem on 3 levels: physical (try to find the best styling techniques and products), emotional (go to a counsellor and/or doctor to see about anti-depressants), and spiritually (pray).

God Bless!

I think God was trying to tell you something. I will pray for you, pray that you will no longer be bothered by something that in time will fix itself...That you learn to let go of your hair, and realize that it is not what is on the outside that matters most to God. That His love will be more important to you than what anyone thinks of your hair, then or now. That God will show you where to find true beauty, within yourself.

Two of my grandmother had breast cancer. One of them had a double mastectomy (both breasts removed). The other a single mastectomy (one breast removed) I am sure they were very selfconscious of their clearly lacking womanly figures. But they both realized that they gave that up to save their life, to keep the cancer from spreading.

Sin is like cancer, let go of what is already gone! Your hair will grow back thicker & healthier & you will wonder why you were ever so upset, but stop letting the loss of your unhealthy hair ruin any relationships especially with God. I pray you find peace tonight, and fear not I will pray for you!

ok properly i will relate to what you're dealing with. I honostly think of that the suitable answer is to easily concentration on you. As i became interpreting i found out that it style of feels as in the journey that your mom and dad do no longer probable care approximately you. you need to do what's sweet for you and if which skill to proceed to exist campus or to getr a job to bypass away them then do it. My buddy grew up on the streets and now he lives in an truly effective component of city with a stable pastime. If he can do this i comprehend for a certainty which you will pass out and initiate an entire life of your individual. Lifes to showrt to be disenchanted basically ignore approximately all of the dramas of your loved ones and basically concentration on what you intend for interior the destiny so as which you've gotten a family of your individual and elevate your babies the spectacular way.

Dear Lady: Over this past yr. I fought cancer & I lost all my hair. But it was only hair & it all grew back & I'm free of cancer now. I went through a period of several different growths of hair & had to get a couple of cuts before it straightened out, but it has. You take the time to thank God that you didn't have to endure these for many, many are right now. Children, teenagers, men & women of all ages. You are only suffering from vanity, & you will survive this experience.

I know i would be doing insane too, but don't take this oUT on your children , its not there fault hey have no idea!! or your husband cause then you'll argue , and that wont be good around the children, anyway try K-pak deep penetrating reconstructer and the intense hydrater, it ultimately hydrates your hair which ofcouse will help it grow cause it will stop braking and use it everyday for a while then you can use it once or twice a week. you can also put it in your hair leave it in for like 10 min put a cap on your head . you can even use the blow dryer too put heat on it so it penetrates deeper. good luck. also my sisters hair was fried pretty bad she cut it but not too much she was going to a Dominican salon every week for a deep condition they worked wonders on her hair! good luck , you can also try extensions or the clip in pieces good luck , just condition it as much as you can , nexus emergency also works really good on cases like this walmart sells it for $13

This may sound like I'm poking fun at you, but that is not my intention.
If you consider short hair to be the reason for a "bad day"; you had better be shouting hallelujah for not having cancer or a child with Developmental Disabilities or the IRS putting a lien on your paycheck or...
You are bigger then bad hair. Suck it up.

Don't worry about having your hair chopped off, things could be worse, you could be crippled or blind or have a disease. Beauty is only skin deep, the real beauty lies beneath in your soul. Pity the poor people who have to take chemo for cancer and go bald. Stop feeling sorry for yourself and be happy with what you have, a husband and children & parents, all of whom love you for who you are, not for your hair!

Ill pray for you. Remember that hair will grow back. In the meantime buy a cool hat to wear on top of it. Foucus not on your hair since it is a part of the body which is only a shell for you soul but try to foucus on God and grow closer to HIm. You are always beautiful to Him
