i have extremely straight, thin hair and it gets tangled extremely easily for that reason and is also prone to breakage for that reason, which makes the tangles worse. it tends to be fine once i can wash it out, but something like a bleach job can generate a mess. unlike the other parts of my body, i can't clear the testosterone out of my hair. estrogen produces nicer, softer hair and testosterone makes your hair coarse and gross, but those changes happen at the root level. if anything, i might find that getting the testosterone out of my system might light to breakage, as the hair will weigh more at the ends. this will take several years to fully turn back over, and it might have been the reason, in hindsight, why i had to shave my head in the first place.
if i realized this at the time, i wouldn't have done it. i thought it was the best way to fix the split ends, which seemed impossible. i didn't understand what was going on.
it should be another day or two, max, i think.
i still have a lot of canned and dried food, but my fridge is almost empty and i need to fill it up soon.
