Same with me!!!!  Keep hope alive!!!  :):):):)

If anyone is checking up....how can a sister be down?

I have been losing hair pretty steadily.  I had my surgery 7 months ago, and I know that it is "normal" to lose some hair around this stage.  It started with thinning, and it has moved from my front hairline (where my hair was naturally thin anyway) and it has slowly made it's way backward.  My hair is so thin in front that I keep it wrapped ALL of the time now.  I never go out without covering my head.  I had been growing dreads for 4 years, and I am really fond of my hair.

I'm also very pleased with my weight loss and my better health.  Don't get me wrong.  My question:  how long before I really see my hair again?  There is fine hair where the first hair began falling out, but I'm still losing hair.  

Also, for anyone who also has dreads, how do you recommend I care for my hair at this tender, tender stage?

Sad.

For what feels like ages its been MsLee and I trying to keep this board going.  Anytime neither of us sign on daily, little or nothing gets posted at all.   With the share button, we would be fools to do what we used to do.  Like answer the Christian sex question or be the one on deck in that thread where folks could ask you anything with no boundaries.  Just too much personal info made available for exploitation on third party sites. 

But damn, why can't we share a laugh and current events etc anymore?  Folks don't even post about hair & clothes anymore.  It seems the other boards are preferred for weight and health issues.  We can still support each other and have some fun on BAF but folks are not into this board anymore. 

I posted accountability because when I did'nt, I'd get pm'd.  The same people who say they need the support don't reply or even read the thread.  This time around, perhaps because its a busy time of year, no messages.  I can keep a journal instead if I'm posting to myself.  After so long with no participation, posting has become a back burner item.  I used to feel bad if I didn't log in regularly but not anymore.  This has gone from hot spot to grave yard.  My most valuable support came from this board so I've tried to give back.  Big sigh, nobody to give back to.  No one wants it. 

I miss the old BAF.  Life support may be running out.  While I'm not pulling the plug, I think the BAF family is saying do not resusitate.    Perhaps some new blood will find their way here and get this going again.  I hope so because there are questions we post (hair, keloids, cooking styles...etc) that will get lost on the other boards. 

BAF is dead.  Long live BAF.  Time for some new folks to "keep hope alive" for the BAF fam.  .
