Maggies Hair Pulling Blog

Today I had a photographer and make up artist come to my house to do a photo shoot for a magazine - once it's published I will post a link. The article will be all about my hair pulling!! It's quite scary to know that everyone will know about my problem, but at the same time I think it's important to raise awareness, when I was younger there was no information at all. I don't mind my friends seeing it, but I know that I will be quite anxious and will have fingers crossed that work colleagues don't see it. There is something uncomfortable about office gossip........ If people do see it then it wont be the end of the world. I also hope that it doesn't embarrass my boyfriend or family, I'm sure it wont but I didn't really think about that part when I said yes. Overall I am glad I am doing it, it's still a bit scary though! :) This weekend I have a long drive up north to visit a friend and so I will make sure I wear gloves. I don't want to slip up ...

On Saturday I went for a hair re- alignment . I have been going to Hair Solved in Manchester for nearly a year now and it was time to have the mop taken off. They take it off, scrub your head and then put it back on again. I decided to have it longer and lighter in colour this time as well. My appointment was at 10am so I had to get up at 6am!! I arrived in time and then didn't leave until 7pm. Long day but I had 3 hair washes which was lovely! They massage your head and it feels soooo nice :) I had my own hair dyed which is why it took ages. I was hoping to get out in time to go to the chocolate shop next door but never mind........... It only took a few minutes to take the volumiser off but then it took a few hours to re-connect it all back on. Unfortunately I had to have the net extended at the sides because they were thin and needed covering up :( I will now leave it well alone and let it grow underneath! Spring is coming, I will let me hair grow like the plants!!
