SOBER HAIR
"Day 74, and it struck me, looking fleetingly in the mirror (past the age of 40 it doesn't do to linger at mirrors!) this morning that something had changed.
And it's my hair.
There are many benefits I expected to accrue when I quit drinking - like weight loss, better sleep, more energy, and so on, but bouncy, springy, look-at-me hair was not one of them. My hair has gone all exuberant, confident to the point of pushy, American. It's so big that it deserves its own postcode (translation: zip code). I googled 'sober hair.' It transpires that I'm not imagining it. Hair, like your skin, suffers from dehydration when you drink, and goes all dry and brittle and split ends. Plus, alcohol depletes your iron levels which makes your hair fall out. " -Clare Pooley- "Sober hair, who knew it was a thing? Luscious locks with no alcohol swilling around in my body. It's one of the best-kept secrets of sobriety."
