Kammys Musing

I looked at a photo from 2017 – it captured me from behind, holding my infant in a food court. There was a visible thinning spot right at the middle back. Not too bad, but visible.

7 years forward and it has progressively moved forward, or should i say backwards😂

The funny thing is, as I combed my hair and looked at myself in the morning, I dont feel bad. I’m not concerned. It’s only when people around you starts mentioning it that I start to be conscious. Most of the times I just shrugged it of while making fun of myself. But there were instances; like when I told my daughter not to talk about it anymore because she keeps mentioning about it repetitively.

So what can I do? I wonder how many millions others thought about it. It must be harder for a women, unless you are wearing a headscarf or covering like the Muslims.

I was in a shopping centre in Kuala Lumpur mid Dec 23, when an elderly Chinese lady came up to me with a brochure for a hair reviving treatment. I’m not sure whether I should be thankful, or give her a punch for the insult. (Of course its an insult; you wouldn’t call it a compliment, would you?😂)

My upbringing taught me to choose the former.

So what’s next? I believe you could either choose the physical way or the spiritual way.

PHYSICAL – you could choose what the lady offered me; spend a few thousand dollars on medication, hair growing technology etc.
Or just go bald. Go Toretto/The Rock!

SPIRITUAL – choose to be content with what you are given. Choose to be with people who treat you as a human being, not based on how many hairs left standing.

I have tried this Fish Oil and Hair Nail Skin pills – doesn’t work.
I have tried Olive Oil – doesn’t work.
Currently I am trying Coconut Oil. If it still doesn’t work, at least I get to enjoy the nice smell in the morning

Eventually if its in the genes, there’s not much you could do.

Until then – stay hungry, stay safe.
