I 47f have been getting ktips extensions for about a year now. I lost a lot of hair after I got COVID a year ago. It changed something in my body and my hair just fell out like crazy. I love my extensions. I like how natural they look. I also really like how I care for them just like my own hair. I wake up with them and go to sleep with them. BUT...I know they are also very damaging. When I get them readjusted, I note how fine and thin my hair is. I would like to begin my journey of regrowing my hair, but I am still self conscious about my hair being so fine and thin. So my solution is to try a halo. I ordered one a few weeks ago, and it matches my hair perfectly. It also came with two clip ins for the side pieces. It's very good quality hair. I paid $300 for a 20" halo. My natural hair is just slightly past my shoulders.

My BF made a comment about how I won't be able to go the fair, or swimming without my hair coming out. I feel like he wants me to keep my extension, but I truly think the best thing is to get my hair healthy again. I have been looking at the benefits of rosewater, rice water, hair growth vitamins and red light therapy. Does anyone have any suggestions? What is the best way to go?

My little guy, Rebel, was just diagnosed with Lymphoma a few months ago. He is only 8 years old. I have had him since he was 9 weeks old. He is truly the dog of my dreams. I cannot express how much I appreciate and love him. He is well behaved. He is affection driven. He is literally the cutest, smartest, and sweetest boy I have ever had. So to say that I am devastated would be an understatement. I have spent many hours in tears trying to process all of this. All the dogs I have had to put down in my life were because of old age. The vet prescribed him steroids, and she said that I could do chemo, but that it would only prolong his life by maybe a few months, and that it would end up costing around $6k. I don't know if it is the steroids or not, but he has had terrible diarreah, and has been panting like crazy. I feel so helpless. I love this sweet boy, and it's hurting my soul that he is hurting. Does anyone have any advice? Is there anything I could have done differently to prevent this? Is there any other treatments or ways I can help him?

Am I making the right choice?
