Treatments and Advice I have been given

So on Monday night I shaved my head as you all know. And now starts the treatments and things to get the hair to grow back stronger and healthier.
So yesterday morning I started putting Tea Tree oil to kill anything left ( not likely ) and keep anything else off my head... and starting on the Sunday of each week I am going to change our treatment and try something new to see how it works... this coming Sunday I am going start using Olive Oil on my hair to see if it helps the itch and heal the bites that are there already... and help the hair to grow. I am going to do this with Lizzie as well and see what happens with her head too. I think this is going to be the fun part of the process of growing out our hair. I will keep you up todate as the weeks progress... and our progress pictures will come on Mondays as well.

Shave DAY

Well she did it! I am very proud to say that Elizabeth gave up her hair today to become completely bald so that she can grow her hair back (yes i am going to do this too) and make it grow healthier and stronger.
Well its complete! I have done my hair too! I am at the bottom of the post in the pictures... i look rather masculine but thats ok... its worth it... Pressing the reset button after all means starting over.

Block in the road

So last night I was going to do Lizzies hair but, the razor my sister brought over from her boyfriends house turned out to be a dud... so Im going to have to go and get another one today because MY razor got lost at HER house, strangely that happens alot over there... anyways my after pictures are going to have to wait until later tonight because I am going to do her hair tonight so she can go to school tomorrow... in the mean time here is a picture of her last year when she had her head shaved she looks really good and can pull off this short short cut realy well. So this is what she has decided that she wants to have her hair look like again.

Any thoughts?

Pre Shave pictures

Before Pictures 


This is what we looked like before we shaved our heads... Elizabeth has had her head shaved before because of this so we are going to make it that short again... But this will be a first for me. Hopefully while I am growing my hair back I will be losing the weight in my face so that it will even out eventually.

In the beginning

In the beginning there was just myself, but then my daughter came along when I was 20 years old. She was the most beautiful person I had ever met. She was named Elizabeth Dawn-Marie Dyck, and the moment she was born I loved her with all my heart. Well 10 years and 3 kids later, I am a single mom (unmarried not unattached loll) and I am unemployed but have decided that on top of raising 3 kids I am going to go back to school to do what people have been telling me to do for years and years : become a nurse! I have been told since about 6 years ago... due to my love of medicine and helping people that I should be come a nurse and I am thinking very seriously about doing this. But that is not the reason for this blog... The reason for this blog is because my little girl and I are in a constant battle with a little bug called LICE!... Yes we have treated and cleaned and treated and cleaned and we have shaved her head before but this time I am going to do it too and we are going to find out what it takes to grow back healthy hair after it has been shaved off... and also we are going to use this as an information presentation to help those going through cancer treatments and have lost their hair or are recovering and are going their hair back.
We will post before and after pictures and progress pictures. And the parts of our experiment that are going on. We are going to change our diets and take vitamins and use scalp massage and different shampoos to figure out what it takes to grow healthy thick hair.
If any of my power up ppl have any suggestions about products or processes or vitamins that worked or didnt work please post it so that we can try and see and then report what the reaction is back to you.
Thats all for now. will Post later with pre and post shave pics.
