Hair

So I'm losing my hair, all of it, eyebrows and eyelashes too.  With Chemo 1, I was told it was likely I would lose my hair, but Chemo 2 (coming next week), the certainty of losing all your hair goes to 100%. 

I've never been vain about my hair so it has not been emotionally complicated.  I'm OK with losing my hair, its a fair price to pay for good health.   That doesn't make it any less weird because:

1. I'm not a wig person
2. I'm not a hat person
3. My skull is not cute (kind of minecraft shaped) ;-)


Justyna and Kim visited me last weekend and since the hair is now coming out in clumps, I decided it was time for a chop and shave.  Justyna, clipped it all away and it doesn't look too bad.  It will still be a few weeks until I'm really bald but so far, I am enjoying the ease of care and the feel of wind on my skull. 

What do you think I should do for the next few months?

a. Bold, Bald, & Beautiful
b. Get a Fancy Wig
c. Become a Turban/Head Wrap Goddess
d. Bucket Hat
e. Knit/Crochet fake hair and beard
f. All of the above

I'd vote a, except for the sun burned scalp risk. Do you still have the Marge Simpson wig from Halloween 1998?

You need an E. Other I think you would look fetching in a Greek sailors cap! Or get one of those drinking hats with straws on each side. Form and function.

Time to build that head wrap collection. Throw in a tiny, tiny hat here and there.

C and E are both excellent choices. Or, is it time for scalp prison tats???

I say "all of the above." Find wraps that go with your favorite outfits. Craft yarn hair in an interesting style. Same for a wig. Get a ribbon bow like they have for newborns, and a fake tattoo then you will be ready for all occasions. 😍
