Wig wearers! When did you start going without?
Hi Ladies,
I'm 2 and a half months out of chemo and have quite a dark covering of hair on my head now.
It's so hot up here at the moment and I'm looking forward to the day I can give away my wigs!
But I'm just not sure when I'll feel right, I tried Saturday night infront of close freinds but after an hour I put the dreaded wig back on :(
Just wondering how much hair you all had when you decided to "brave it"?
Cheers
Sam

This was about 4 weeks out of chemo. It's growing VERY fast.
It started growing back while I was still on chemo....Paclitaxel ;)
In this heat, I would love to "lose" my hair for a day or two. I really enjoyed having really short hair as I always had long hair. These days I keep it short but evn in this 40 degree heat it is still too long. Enjoy the moment XLeonie
- Hey Sam, how soon after chemo is that length? Bring it on!!! Good luck for your surgeries Xxx
- Lol me too! I love it, can't wait to make a shampoo Mohawk haha
- Yay Lara! Looking good, and nice eyebrows too! Mine thinned ALOT, I have about 6 original lashes left and they're growing through slowly but surely...
- Good on you Robyn x
- Love your new profile pic Magicma :) What a darling little bundle. Looks like he's enjoying a cuddle from Ma. Janey xxx
The girls in my chemo unit persuaded me to lose the covers when mine was about that length. It was VERY grey/white but they said it looked funky and I should slick it up and be proud. So I did. Not sorry at all. (I did end up dying back to a colour as the growing grey made me feel really old !) In hot weather it was lovely to feel the breeze on my head.
Go for it, you look fantastic.
