When I was in elementary school a friend of my uncle stayed and lived with us for a few weeks. It wasn’t such a big deal but for the weird fact that she had bandages on her nose.

She usually stayed inside the house and didn’t like going outside. That was puzzling so,in the presence of my uncle, I asked her what happened to her nose.

She said she got hit by a bulldozer.

I felt disbelief, confusion and shock. I looked to my uncle for confirmation and he said it’s true. So, being a child, I believed what I was told.

It wasn’t until a few years upon looking back that I realized that they were playing a joke on me. She wasn’t hit by a bulldozer; she had a nose lift! The pun with the bulldozer was used since it is known to flatten everything on its path. And the reason she stayed with us is that so no one can know that she had an operation! Oh, the gullibility of a child!

She probably did so because it was a norm in her job in the entertainment industry. Even now celebrities try to enchance their looks with liposuction, botox injections, possibly, like my uncle’s friend, even having a New York face lift. Stars you see today may have an entirely different face tomorrow. Oh, the pressures of stardom!

I’ve always had thick hair, ever since I was little. It’s something that I’m proud of, actually. Especially when I see some of my friends that have thin hair strands and even less hair.

Though I do have one complaint. The problem is some strands keep falling off. My brush accumulates strands often. I see some on my floor, and even some on my pillow. I do not want doctors to perform a hair transplant as a hairloss treatment on me when I get to middle age just because of my severe hair falls now.

So I asked advice from some people I know. They advised me to only shampoo my hair every other day. I shampoo my hair everyday and the thought of not cleaning my hair for a day grosses me out.

I asked another friend and she said that I can try diluting a small amount of my shampoo in water before using it on my hair, that the harsh effects of the shampoo will lessen and I’ll still have clean hair.

That last advice has the most likelihood for me. I’ll try it for a few weeks and see what happens.
