Joan Juliet Buck's 'Damn' Hair

Me too !!!!!!!!!!!! My hair is my achilles heel. When I walk out the door it is passable……………then a sight breeze or touch of humidity makes me look unkempt (and I am certainly not that…….. I take pride in what I wear, how my make-up looks, etc,)……….i would go to the hairdresser weekly/biweekly but when I wake in the morn my ‘3’ hairs are standing on end ……..any suggestions………..truth be known, however, if this is the extent of of my problems, I’ll live with it !

I have a hair problem because I have something called hyperhydrosis of the scalp,in other words excessive sweating! It just came along in my 60’s and I can only associate it with women who talk about “hot flashes” except it is constant and appears without warning in the form of sweat pouring down from under my bangs and every inch of my head wet or damp! I deal with it,when I can with a sweat band (a wardrobe of cotton head scarves) under my bangs…sweat is salty and gets into your eyes. I am aware of hot soups,cocktails,coffee wine…will make it worse.And prepare because the body also reacts..cotton and linen without additives such as spandex.PRAY to find hand held old fashioned fans,take luke warm showers.I could go on and on,ask Joan Brody NYT. Many people have it elsewhere,feet,hands…but the scalp/good luck!

When my hair is styled, I don’t give a damn about makeup. I wish I could blow-dry my hair like my hairdresser, but have tried for years and can’t. Other stylists don’t even come close to get the results she gets. I
