Baldness and Psychology

The psychological effects of going bald change from person to person. Some people adapt well, while others keep fighting it every step of the way and spend thousands in replacement surgeries and medication that may or may not work.

Other alternatives include hairpieces and wigs. Business mogul Donald Trump is a celebrity who is famous for his hairpieces. Even with all of this money he has not been able to find a solution that looks truly authentic for his hair loss.

When it comes to people who have cancer and have undergone chemotherapy losing their hair – self-esteem issues can often arise. There is an organization called Locks of Love that donates hair to children who need it. Most of these children have lost their hair due to chemotherapy treatments.

Dream Hair

Happy New Year Everyone! I'm having a quiet evening at home listening to Erykah Badu right now. I still have to read Jill Scott's poetry book and I hope to get through it before the end of this evening. Speaking of Jill Scott, here is a picture of her included in this blog post. This is my dream hair. I am hoping that my hair gets to this fullness and length by the end of 2011 and just keeps growing beyond that. I would keep my hair black though, with the bit of accepted gray coming in :-). I am getting there. Happy New Year!

Britney Spears Plans Plastic Surgery

Britney Spears is planning to undergo cosmetic surgery because she has slacked off her diet sources say. Spears would like her body to be the way it was before she had kids. Spears has been ripping pages out of magazines to choose what she thinks are her favourite body parts. Sources say Spears is insecure over how much her body has changed since having her kids. She is reported wanting to do whatever it takes to be back to her best, even if that means plastic surgery.

Spears is looking into getting a tummy tuck, liposuction, breast enhancement and rhinoplasty. She is also looking to get a chemical peel for her facial skin.

Donna: What started your interest in hair? Zhara: I think for the majority of black women myself included, I've always been obssesed with a major interest in my hair! Lol. My hair has always been a forefront of never ending years of hair dilemmas and styles. Black hair is the most fragile and versatile texture in the world.This has made my hair journey an interesting one from being natural as a child to permed in my teen years with good and bad hair days that brought about emotions and experiences that lay down deep in the soul.

Zhara: It's actually more of a community of support and motivation more than a personal website per se.
