I have the FLU!

[Miss_Jetsetter]

And it's totally messing with my hair regimen. i've been sick for around 4 days now and my hair is filthy! I can't evn bear to go outside! It's in two big doo-doo plaits and I look a hot mess!

I'm supposed to fly out this Friday, but I can't go anywhere with dirty hair! i'm guessing that I will probably be better by Saturday, but the thing is, how long do I wait to wash it, because I don't want to catch pnuemonia!

I'm def calling in sick, though!

I feel your pain girl, I went to the doctor monday took a flu test......"POSITIVE"..... I'VE GOT THE FLU ! sorry, I digress , you can wash you hair but ( what I did ) and I reccomend is that you blowdry your hair for now til you get better.And when you "HAVE" to go out cover your head. trust me you'll be thankful you did !

Thanks for the reply Carletta!

I just don't want to get any sicker than I already am. But my hair is so friggin' dry (inspite of attempting to moisterize it) and I just am so ready to wash! Also, I'm currently at 14 weeks post and it's not looking pretty--AT ALL.

I'm so pathetic. Sick as the dickens and worried about my hair!

I pretty sure you'll be ok if you wash your hair now, today and and not go outside and rest. Trust me cold air and sickness doesn't mix well with me either girl....but tha hair ( mine ) got to be washed! You should have seen me going to the doctor monday, my hair looked like my parakeet done a raindance in it !

I'm sick too. Thought I just had a cold, went to work on Monday, came home in the evening and w/in an hour had the chills and my whole body hurt. The last thing I remember doing was putting my scarf on....

I will probably go in tomorrow. My hair was just put in braids, but I am concerne about how dry it is after elevated temperature, mild dehydration, and no TLC from me. LOL. I really haven't looked at it...being sick SUCKS.....

and I really feel its from those people at my job who came in over the last few weeks, hacking like dogs , and everone sneezing gobs of stuff on the train...please, just STAY HOME, or at least AWAY from me....ugh

at the mention of people hacking & sneezing gobs of stuff ......... I hope the both of you sweeties feel better soon. I'm getting off now, and going to pop a pill my doc gave me . you might want to ask your doc to give you a Rx for "Tamiflu " it helps shorten the flu lifespan. & helps keep others @ home from catching it ! (good stuff)

Oh no! I'm so sorry to hear about that. Please take care of yourself and don't worry about your hair. Try bunning it up so you wont be tempted to try to wash it. You need rest right now -- hair day can wait!

Sorry to hear. Hope you guys feel better soon!
