I’m desperate. Desperate about my hair that is. I’m not vain
about it since I wouldn’t really consider it as one of my redeeming features
but it has come to a point where it might become my downfall. Or rather, my
hairfall. (Yah yah, lame joke again, I know)
I’m sure many can relate to my current predicament,
specially the ladies. Falling hair is not something we want to admit to
ourselves but the reality is that it is a very common condition. I didn’t have
hairfall before. It began when I agreed to having my hair straightened (or
relaxed) at one of the local salons in my hometown, because I hadn’t accepted
yet that I was born with curly hair. Now I’ve accepted my curliness, but the
wheels have fate have started turning and it is inexorably leading to a future
where I hit middle age looking like an ancient crone because of thinning hair.
Or even (gasp) baldness!
With that grim future looming nearer each day, I have tried
countless ways to stop falling hair. I’ve tried hair spa treatment, scalp
massage and the like. My relatives suggested I apply aloe vera sap on my scalp
but since I don’t have ready access to said plant, I was forced to find other
more accessible means.
After much searching, I came across a forum suggesting the
use of garlic oil on the scalp and many have attested to its effectiveness. Since
I don’t have access to ready-made garlic oil, I was forced to be resourceful
and make garlic oil on my own. I looked for videos on how to make homemade
garlic oil and I now have a jar filled with olive oil and chopped garlic. The
instructions were to let the garlic sit in the oil for a couple of days before
applying it to the scalp so that’s what I’m going to do.
I’ll be posting an update once I have applied the garlic oil
to my scalp. If you have any suggestions dear reader, regarding how to treat
falling hair, I would really appreciate it.
