Wanted to share my new hair toy finds



Recommended Posts

I have almost waist length hair, so hair toys are a bit of a hobby for me. I have found 2 recently that are wonderful!!!!!! First is my new brush - the tangle teezer ($10 @ Sally's). I love, love, love this thing. It's a palm held brush, which takes a little getting used to, but I loose about 1/4 of the hairs I do with combing or other brushes. Highly recommend! Secondly is my new hair clip.......if you've used the plastic jaw clips and hate having to lean forward in a seat, you'll love this - Flexi 8 (*think* $10 - $20 depending on size). It functions like a clip, but is the most comfortable thing I have ever worn in my hair, again, no Hair loss, unlike any other hair toys. They have a website (no, I'm not associated with either company, in case you're wondering) just google flexi 8 - I can also wear this all day with a bun and when I take my hair down no headache. Hope this helps somebody, especially with the summer heat around the corner :)

Thanks for posting this. I like the idea of the brush that takes away less hair while brushing. I am dreading the Hair loss that comes around the 3-5 month mark. I know it's coming, but will still hate it when it does. Nothing I can do about it though. My hair is down to the middle of my back right now. I think in a couple months, I will cut it shoulder length and layer it a bit so I can "hide" the hair loss better when it does come.sad.gif

I wouldn't mind growing my hair out long again. I just think it looks ridiculous when my face is so...fat.

But I do love the feeling of a pony-tail swishing against my neck.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
