MilliBr1 Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 You know my mom bought hats and scarves, but everyone agreed she looked good bald. She finally got to wear she didn't worry if she had her scarf on or not. Hope your next round of chemo goes well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ann Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Sorry things aren't going so great for you right now. I'm saying prayers things will improve quickly. I have to honestly tell you that some of the most beautiful women I have ever seen have been completely bald. When there is no hair to distract from their beautiful eyes and facial features, a womans true beauty shines. Hey...hats are really in right now. Take advantage and be stylish!!!

Kasey Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Hi Marie, I wore wigs when I lost my hair. A few of my "friends" thought I was being vain. I believe it was someone from this board who said exactly what I felt about it. I wore a wig to simply feel more 'normal'...that's all. I KNEW I was not like everbody who was cancer free.....but I wnated to at least LOOK like them. Some choose no head wear at all. Different strokes for different folks. Just remember to keep your eye on the prize.....being CANCER FREE. Hair is replacable!!!! I am still here rooting for you, Marie. Kasey P.S. Hair in avatar.....WIG!!!! Looks good, huh?

Don Wood Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Lucie also had her head shaved when she started losing her hair. One big upset instead of many little ones. She has not lost her hair since, but has had thinnings. Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gail Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 As ready as I thought I was for my hair falling out, the day I could pull it out in clumps was devasting. then I took an ATIVAN really I did My wig and I never, ever bonded. I have a very large head, and was extremely limited in choices. I spent an exhorbinant (sp) an=mount of money on hats, but I adored them. And bought lots of really cute earrings. My theory was--I may feel like hell, but I'm going to look good. Men don't hide their heads--why should we? go for it. gail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
