I have that problem too -- had it all my life.

I started bleaching my hair a few years ago and it sure keeps me from having to wash it every day now.

I notice when I have started to "grow it out" and my roots are long -- it gets oily fast still -- and I'm in my 60s now. I guess "oily" never goes away, LOL.

You don't have to have BLONDE hair -- just the coloring process keeps the oil under control and you can put toner on it or I just put some chunks of a deeper blonde all through it like doing a paint brush so it looks like I'm a "beach blonde", ha ha.

Good luck.

Thanks for clarifying.

I was thinking as well when went outside that the dog just may have to bite him, but if he doesn't fight back. My best guess is for you to start pushing his buttons. Whatever your DS likes to do, don't let him do it and tell him until he can be nice to the dog, he can have that privilege back. You could also remind him that it is against the law to be cruel to animals. He could go to jail.

Clarifying my suggestion
Jut to clarify, I did not mean sympathy card. The suggestion of a card or letter was because she is not accepting phone calls right now. So, whatever you would have said in the way of encouragement and support on the phone could be put in a letter.

I did not even use the word sympathy in my post. I did use the word empathy which is different. Empathy means putting yourself in her place and trying to feel what she might be feeling right now. In the card or letter you could then express what you yourself would like to hear if you were in the same situation. That is all I meant. Sorry it came across as a pity party kind of suggestion. I didn't mean it that way in the least.

OTOH, you know your friend, and the empathy you feel may cause you to just wait it out a while and try again. You of course are thinking of what will benefit her because you care. Whatever you decide can work because it comes out of genuine concern for her welfare.
