Hair Regrowth Journey: My Solution
About a year after having my baby, I noticed, to my extreme SHOCK AND HORROR that my hair was coming out in clumps. Apparently, this is normal for new mothers. Something ELSE they don't mention before you get pregnant (like the fact that a baby is supposed to in there for 10 months, NOT NINE but that's a whole different story).
I tried just about everything I could think of including salicylic acid (to unclog hair follicles), hemp oil (to make my sebum more fluid and thereby unclog follicles), polysorbate 80 (to kill DHT), and etc. (hair tonics, stem cells, vitamins, sea kelp, etc. etc. etc.).

Hair Regrowth Journey: 4 Months In
Hi Beauties!
I'm editing this post to reflect the results, so no-one is operating under any illusions here. This regime did not end up working for me. I suspect a few things: perhaps the clogged follicles are not actually an issue for me; the salicylic acid may have caused my hair to become brittle and fall out and break easier; the soapnuts shampoo damaged my hair.

Good day bohemian beauties!
I think I've stumbled onto something by accident that I'd like to share with you!
My son's hair is very fine and curly. It gets dry and frizzy in this climate, and the curls are not very well defined. It also feels kind of crunchy - not soft. I use hemp oil in it, to smooth it out, which works well, but it feels like a "fix" to me, rather than a solution to the underlying problem.
I myself have been struggling with thin, straggly, dry, and messed up hair since my son was born. I've gone all organic and natural, and it's helped. BUT I'm always on the lookout for something that will give me more glamorous hair.

Natural Beauty in Faraway Lands
One of the things I like to do when traveling is to take advantage of the herbs, flowers, and fruits I find growing there. I took a lot of rose-petal baths and gave myself many a blackberry facial while traveling in Wales, for example. I even stole a few sprigs of Bronze Age chamomile from a hill fort exhibition in Cardigan to make sun-infused oil at my B & B.
Well, I've just spent two weeks in Tuscany. I couldn't BELIEVE the profusion of flowers, herbs, fruits and stuff they have there! They've even got tobacco plantations. Serious heaven.

Help for Thinning or Otherwise Messed Up Hair
Hair loss! Pregnancy! Hormones!
When I had my son almost 4 years ago now (!!!) I immediately began losing clumps of hair. This is one of those things nobody mentions about having kids and then all of a sudden everyone's like, "Oh yeah, that's totally normal. It's hormonal. It'll come back after a year or two. Blah blah blah." Um, WHAT?
