 YAYAY!!! My progress is amazing. The journey has been a challenge.  I am so grateful I strived to reach this goal of “Growing My Hair Back”. For anyone who has suffered hair loss, just know you can grow it back. The key is a routine and patience. For me, I had good days and bad days on this journey. But through determination, I stayed focused. Two more months and I will reach “ONE YEAR”. Thank you, GOD!!

"How These 2 Photos Tell My Story- MENOPAUSE!!"

On May 2nd, 2015, these two photos changed my life. As stated from one of my previous posts, I was experiencing hair loss. It started with burning of my scalp, I mean my scalp felt like it was on fire so I had my husband to shave my head bald.








Through my research, I found out that  I was experiencing a condition known as Trichodynia.  A condition associated with hair loss, caused by stress, depression and anxiety. I was suffering from all three.

Throughout the time, I was suffering from my hair loss I had several episodes of scalp pain, soreness, tingling, itching and a burning sensation. I could not even touch my head, or even move my hair slightly without feeling excruciating pain to my scalp. I was very confused because I did not know what was causing the pain and why it was sporadic, it would last for a while then just disappear, the last episode I had was in May 2015.

Let's go back in time, say about eleven years ago, when my natural "HAIR" journey started in 2005.  I was  45 years old, and I was experiencing fatigue and anxiety. I was moody all the time, angry at the world for no apparent reason. Snappy and bitchy with everyone. I had no clue why. I became a recluse. I hated being around people. My family thought I was heading for a nervous breakdown (I thought I was too). My family suffered with me. I thank them for putting up with me especially my husband. My performance at work suffered also.

During those eleven years not only did I suffer from anxiety and fatigue, but I also suffered from sinus congestion regularly. I stayed at the doctor for sinus, at least, two to three times a month. Through research and doctor visits, I realize one of the signs of menopause was allergies. I struggled with allergies on a daily basis, because my hormones and immune system were unbalanced, which caused my allergies to get worse.  Hormonal imbalance occurs during puberty, menstruation, pregnancy, and menopause. Fortunately, I  was determined to control my allergies with proper guidance from my doctor and by making lifestyle changes.

 We know menopause is a natural, healthy change in our body.

I Listed a few Lifestyle Changes that I have taken:

I cut down my  amount of caffeine and alcohol
I try to sleep 7 to 8 hours per night
I take the following vitamins B, C, D, and E
I practice breathing exercises
I attempt to Eat a balanced diet
Working on Exercise regularly
Staying hydrated

MY 2ND HAIR JOURNEY PLEASE CHECK OUT MY WEBSITE

Hello, Ladies and Gents!

My name is Vernessie, and I was inspired by many great websites and blogs relating to all things natural hair. A light bulb went off, and here I am.  I am 9 years into my natural hair journey. I always had a love for hair since my teen years, and I carried out my dream by becoming a self-taught hair braider – natural hairstylist. This was truly my calling because I took to this craft so fast and easily and I grew to love it, and nothing’s changed I still love it and continue to evolve. I now reside in Victorville, CA (High Desert Area), and my goal is to help make the high desert as affluent to natural hair. It’s important that women (and men) know how to care for their natural tresses and give it all the love and care it deserves.

I created this blog to give advice, give product reviews, share photos, give tips, post videos of some of my techniques (coming soon) and much more. I love to talk about hair, create styles on hair, accessorize hair, give advice on hair, try new products on hair, if it’s about hair, I am all in! I look forward to your questions, comments and natural hair stories on transitioning and your hair regimens and concoctions and so on and so forth! I hope that My 2nd Hair Journey will be your go-to place for all things natural hair… Let’s get it started shall we?

Healthy Roots Dolls

Please SUPPORT a up and coming toy company.

DOLLS! They come in different skin tones, hair textures and facial features to represent the beauty of the African Diaspora.

These ladies dolls were created (quoted)

"Our dolls combat internalized racism and colorism by getting to the root of the problem: diversity and knowledge! Our research has shown that mothers resort to relaxing their daughters' hair due to time constraints, lack of knowledge about natural haircare, and the desire to appeal to mainstream beauty standards. Through our line of dolls our mission is to educate children and mothers about the joy and beauty of natural hair."

In order to launch the dolls they need your support! Healthy Roots' goals are to increase representation among young girls of color while combatting internalized racism and colorism. We want to empower Black girls to achieve their dreams. Click on this Healthy Roots to be directed to their website for further information.
