Growing my hair back!

I’m almost 2 years into growing back my normally very thick and healthy hair. When I have an extreme autoimmune disease, my body sheds about 75% of my hair as a I begin to recover and the trauma and stress dissipate.

Then comes the long road to getting it back. Anyone remember my Bridgerton bang photo? Or my under pony back mullet?😆

I’m thankful it DOES come back though!

My Tips:
💛Patience
💛Get your Diet, stress, sleep in order (lots of bone broth too!!)
💛Make sure you’re not deficient in any minerals and vitamins (my iron levels have to come back to normal range before it starts growing in, and I usually need to put on some weight that I’ve lost and restore all of the other deficiencies I end up with)
💛Minimal to no heat, coloring, and products.
💛No up-dos while wet, or sleeping. Loose braids are my friend. As is letting it go curly.
💛The Pura d’or thickening shampoo (on my shop) has made a difference this go around (I think).

Have you experienced AI hair loss? What are your go-to ways to grow it back healthy and strong?

1 WEEK!!! In exactly 1 week from today, this book will be on shelves (and doorsteps for anyone who preorders it NOW!!).

This isn’t a story of how I perfectly overcame an autoimmune disease. It shares every triumph and every setback. It’s real. And honest.
It’s a story of resilience.
Of hope.
Of going through incredibly dark times but getting back up again and using it for good.

It’s a story of taking control of your life and not letting a disease rule it. Of trying to search for the good that God has placed in your life, rather than get stuck in the murky waters.

✨Pre-orders still mean A LOT this week and could help bookstores put this book in a place where more people will see it while passing by. It could get this story (and all of yours that are included in it) into the hands of someone who needs it.
💫Share it with your friends, and let’s get this out there for people who need healing, or their loved ones who need support.

Melissa also stayed up until midnight reading every page. I’m humbled, grateful and honored.

We chatted about finding hope, losing and rebuilding faith, and how to preserve and have resilience through dark times.

And Melissa made me cry quite a few times. 😭

I’m so thankful for these friends, and this incredible community we’ve all built together.
