Okay, so here's a question--can't seem to find any evidence of female mullets. Does the classic mullet profile only involve males? I'm having some uneasy memory flashes of me sporting something that came very close to this "style" in the mid-eighties. The lifestyle and...philosophy...(trying to remain politically correct here)...that tends to surround this hairstyle makes me suspect that women aren't part of this club. After all, "the wife knows her place"... ;)

I think Olvia Newton John have one for a while?

Wishful thinking on excepting the ladies from this...while in the minority, you ladies have more hair products and corded "hairaphanalia" to spice things up.

Check out classifications 9, 25, 74 and my personal favorite #94...I think it was a footnote to women's "sufferage" ;) ...the right to vote, and vote with bad hair... :P

I hope HELL is a nicer place than the church makes it out to be. I think I just hopped a cab on the expressway to hell!

I think the worst example of the female mullet was back in the 80's when the top, front and sides would be permed, and the back would be left long and straight :blink:

I have to admit, in the early '90s I had a mini-mullet, just the last few inches of the back...my mom thought anymore would look ridiculous...I think she meant absolutely ridiculous.

My bird is looking at me like I'm strange since I'm sitting here laughing at my computer. #74 is hideous.

Yes--and sometimes if the back was longer, it literally looked like 2 different heads of hair :D

I was very radical. I hated shoulder pads and cut mine out one day. Then I kept getting asked if I lost weight!! :lol::lol: I did have big hair ... I loved it, my hair is big anyway. It's a lot easier to not have to load it with styling products to weight it down!

That has got to be one of the most hilarious websites I have ever seen. I have emailed the link to all of my friends, and now, thanks to its comprehensive research, I have it confirmed that indeed the female mullet has existed and will continue into infamy. OMG, the "sightings" for mullet #94: Behind trees, divorce court, Afghanistan... :lol::lol::lol:

I love how those of you who speak English English, as opposed to American (both US and Canadian) English, use the word brilliant! An Irish priest I used to work with used it regularly. Around here about the only time anyone uses that word is when they're describing someone very smart.

Brill!! :lol:

:blink: Over here we had the opposite.Curly at the back (long),straight at the front.

Either one was truly disgusting!! :lol:

Don't forget the first half of the 80's was all about being preppy. I still have my 1982 penny loafers!

Preppy was the style up till Flashdance.

Speaking of John Travolta, now HE has a a head of HAIR! I think his hair has starred in more movies than he has...It had the lead in...Saturday Night Fever, Grease, Pulp Fiction, The Boy in the Bubble, and that awful sci-fi movie he did a few years ago...wait, I'm not sure if his hair made an appearance in that one... :P

Yep, he definitely had the "do"!

Also, remember that lovely 80's "feathered back" look?

Alert! I have recently seen a few women (not men yet, thank gawd) sporting the feathered-back look again. Horrors. Actually, aren't mullet-haired guys often married to women who have the perpetually feathered-back, blonde 'do? I think so...you guys from Alberta? Southern States?

I think you're right ... and where I used to live their favorite mode of transportation was a nearly broken down pickup truck ... that's because our mullets were of the redneck variety.

But wait . . . according to all the teen magazines on the racks at the checkout, feathered hair is back IN. Farrah Fawcett, you're in style again (especially since she basically never changed it)!!!!!

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      I don't know if I am getting sufficient Omega Threes. I read about phosphotidyl choline may cause heart issues. I will have o do further research on heathy Omega 3 supplements or from foods. Is there a blood test that can tell you everything level in your system such as Thiamine, Benfotiamine levels etc? Thanks

      @catnapt, Wheat germ contains high amounts of lectins which are really hard to digest and can be irritating to the digestive tract. They can stimulate IgG antibody production as your blood test shows. Even beans have lectins. You've simply eaten too many lectins and irritated your digestive tract. You may want to allow your digestive tract...

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      I take Now B-1 (100 mg) Thiamine Hydrochloride, and Amazing Formulas L-Tryptophan (1000 mg). Both are gluten free and free of other allergens. I've taken them for a long time and haven't had a problem with them. I take Vitamin A from BioTech called "A-25". It's gluten and allergen free and made in the USA. It's a powder form of Vitamin A. ...

Therefore, my issue is wheat-specific (Gluten/ATIs), not a general lectin issue.   I have eaten a supposedly high lectin diet (I say supposedly because lectin content in these foods is greatly reduced by proper cooking and I eat very few of those foods raw, and even then, rarely!!) for years. My health has improved greatly on my whole foods plant forward diet. I have asked all my drs and a registered dietician about my diet, asked if eating such a high amnt of fiber might interfere with the digestion of any other nutrients and the answer has always been NO.     while doing the gluten challenge I did not eat ANY wheat germ (since it doesn't have hardly any gluten, and I was too sick from the bread and pasta to want to eat much anyway) I will NOT put that poison in my body again. That was a horrific experience and if this is what most celiac patients have to deal with, I am very sorry for them I don't care if I have celiac or NCGS I won't intentionally cause myself that much pain and suffering it's not worth it.

This explains it well: Lectins, agglutinins, and their roles in autoimmune reactivities https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25599185/

      I take Now B-1 (100 mg) Thiamine Hydrochloride, and Amazing Formulas L-Tryptophan (1000 mg).   Both are gluten free and free of other allergens.  I've taken them for a long time and haven't had a problem with them. I take Vitamin A from BioTech called "A-25".  It's gluten and allergen free and made in the USA.  It's a powder form of Vitamin A.  I was having trouble digesting fats at one point, but found I tolerated the powder form much better and have stuck with it since.   Tryptophan and Vitamin A help heal the intestines as well as improves skin health.  I get Dermatitis Herpetiformis and eczema flairs when my stomach is upset.  So I'm healing the outside as well as the inside.   I take one 1000 mg Tryptophan before bedtime.   With the Thiamine HCl, take 100 mg to start.  If you don't notice anything, three hours later take another. You can keep increasing your dose in this manner until you do notice improvement.  Remember not to take it in the evening so it won't keep you too energized to sleep. When I first started Thiamine HCl, taking 500 mg to 1000 mg to start was recommended.  If you've been thiamine insufficient for a while, you do notice a big difference.  It's like the start of a NASCAR race: Zoom, Zoom, turn it up!   This scared or made some people uncomfortable, but it's just your body beginning to function properly, like putting new spark plugs in your engine.  I took 1000 mg all at once without food.  It kicked in beautifully, but I got a tummy ache, so take with food.  I added in Thiamine TTFD and Benfotiamine weeks later and felt like I was Formula One racing.  So cool.  You may feel worse for a couple days as your body adjusts to having sufficient thiamine.  Feels sort of like you haven't cranked your engine for a while and it backfires and sputters, but it will settle down and start purring soon enough.  Adjust your dose to what feels right for you, increasing your dose as long as you feel improvement.  You can reach a plateau, so stay there for several days, then try bumping it up again.  If no more improvements happen, you can stay at the plateau amount and experiment with increasing your Thiamine TTFD.  It's like being your own lab rat.  LoL Yes, take one Benfotiamine at breakfast and one at lunch.  Take the B Complex at breakfast. Take the TTFD at breakfast and lunch as well.  I like to take the vitamins at the beginning of meals and the NeuroMag at the end of meals.   You may want to add in some zinc.  I take Thorne Zinc 30 mg at breakfast at the beginning of the meal.   Are you getting sufficient Omega Threes?  Our brains are made up mostly of fat.  Flaxseed oil supplements, sunflower seed oil supplements (or eat the seeds themselves) can improve that.  Cooking with extra virgin olive oil, avocado oil, or coconut oil is also helpful.   @Wheatwacked likes phosphotidyl choline supplements for his Omega Threes.  He's also had dramatic health improvement by supplementing thiamine.  You're doing great!  Thank you for sharing your journey with us.  This path will smooth out.  Keep going!
