(34,115 posts)It got real thin for a while, then was getting thick again until the last two operations. Apparently either the anesthesia or the pain meds make my hair brittle and it gets thin and shorter. In ten hours I'm going in for another operation - carpal tunnel - so it will be a while before my hair gets back to normal. I'll get the second carpal tunnel surgery on the other hand probably in March.
When it was at it's best, my hair reached below my waist and was too thick for hair clips. I braid it but it slithers out of the braid.
I'm a farm girl, too, and haven't had a job off the farm since I graduated from college. So I don't own 'dress up' clothes, have no clue about make up, and my hair does what it wants most of the time. The last hair dryer I owned, I threw out when I realized I missed the asbestos recall for it.
My current favorite cap is one of a set I had made with our farm logo on it. I selected a special type with an extra deep crown and extra large size for my big head (hat size 7 - 5/8, husband wears 7 - 3/4 or larger).
