about
I'm a mother of 2 boys who are 13 months apart. Talk about a handful. I'm a wife to the best husband I could have ever dreamed of.I'm one of the very blessed.
I have Bipolar 1 Disorder. I hate taking all these medications and always going to doctors appointments, but life is too short to let mental illness get the better of me.
Often times life is a challenge, and nobody knows that better than me. I wake up wondering if this is going to be a day my illness overpowers my meds, and either sends me flying like a bat out of hell, or leaves me laying on the couch like a wet dish rag.
Thank all that is good in the world that I have an excellent support system at home.
I'm one of the lucky ones.
I'm honest, and that can either be a perk or s flaw. Depends on how you choose to look at it.
I like to see it as a perk, because it's better to hear the truth than to be told candy coated bullshit.

does bleaching your hair damage it a lot. my mom really doesn't want me to bleach it because she says it will never be the same. i have super soft hair. will it have any long term damages on my hair? will it make my hair less soft? :/
Any chemical you put in your hair damages it.
Perms and hair coloring permanently damage your hair in effort to curl or color it permanently.
Outside of perms, bleaching, highlighting, color stripping, or putting blonde hair coloring in your hair are the worst things you can do to it.
Your mom is right- bleach/color/perm your hair, it will never be the same.
Long term damages? None on the new growth if you allow it to grow out, of course, but the only way to get your hair back to it's natural color/healthy state is to grow it out and cut off the chemically processed hair.
As for bleaching and keeping super soft hair, your best bet would be to get highlights. With highlights, you don't have roots blazing out at you that cause you to have to constantly re-bleach your hair.
With regular conditioning and weekly deep conditioning treatments, you can re-soften the hair. But that does NOT reverse the damage.
If you bleach all of your hair and want to keep it what way, re-bleaching will eventually cause your hair to be dry, brittle, breaking, split ended, etc.
