Appearance

I've shaved my hair off again. I got tired of spending 15 minutes subjugating it every day, and really, really didn't want to resort to Product.

And I've been thinking about stretchmarks. I'm not sure what they look like. When I was heavily pregnant I had lots of purple lines, but I really can't tell whether my skin has any remaining signs of them. My skin changes so much from place to place on my body that it all just looks kind of normal to me, and I can't really tell if some of it is supposed to be the shameful frightening stretchmarks of women's-magazine fame.

I'm going to have another go at lipstick soon. And perhaps henna. I think I need to get my hair sunbleached first though.

It was really nice to feel water on my scalp again. My hair is too thick, usually, unless I wave my head around a lot underwater.

Interesting! I certainly have lots of *textural* changes, on the saggity baggity that is my post-baby tum. I can't tell about my bum because I've been wearing jeans so am all over seam marks. Hmm.

mine started out purple but later faded to silverywhitishskincolored. i agree with cangetmad; they feel almost like there is a gap underneath.
