Oh, hon!! Castor oil made your hair fall out?? It's supposed to help with growth, although it is really messy.

Don't feel bad as my hair looks awful, too. I always wear it up in a clip, because it's gotten so friggin' straggly. And here's the thing, I know that when I finally get it cut, I'll be all gung ho, "Sure, take off four inches," and then I'll be kicking myself when I get home. I'm famous for initially loving a haircut, then hating it.

I never heard about the rice water, thing. Hmmmm. Do you make it yourself?
