I am now a "Nude Nut"
Hi my lovely ladies !!!
Well I have posted an updated photo, of who I am now. No hair !! and proud of it.
Oh I forgot, also with my lovely, adorable husband as well........
This is me now, no hair and feeling a whole lot better. No more "cactus spikes"
I got my head shaved totally last nite, with my husband doing all the shaving. I cried all the way through....
Thinking, who would have thought in my life-time, that I would be sitting in the bathroom shaving my head because of this s*** thing BC.
Who would have thought that I would have to lose my hair through a sickness?
But, I thought I would post my photo to let you girls know out there. WE ALL ARE BEAUTIFUL, hair or no hair......
It's what counts inside of us all that is really more truly important. Strength,courage, love and peace within ourselves.
Keep fighting my beautiful ladies. I know I am.
Lots of hugs Julie XX

Hi Michelle

Hi Mich
Yes, I also can't believe how different we look, once we lose the hair.
It's great having a shower.... so quick.... And not having to dry my hair, hairdry my hair and then straighten it. Oh what a chore it used to be ... hahahaha. but, I do miss it though.
Trust me, when you do the shave, you will feel sooooo much better. I just rub in some moisturiser in the morning, pop the hat on, and presto. You really have to try the shave, you won't look back.
I thought I could handle the prickles, but not any longer. It was also making me not sleep comfortably. I would toss and turn to try and find a comfortable spot. I think also it gave me headaches as well.
Anyway, take care and talk soo. Hugs to you love Julie XX
Yes the is chemo brain as they call it, is a doozy.... I keep forgetting things that I no longer require.
The other day in the shower I noticed I still had my shaver hanging there..... looking quite lonely.... :) So I threw it away, to have a lovely new one there one day when I need to shave in the future..
Yes the kids are now using my shampoo and conditioner, to which used to be banned for them to use. So now they think the are great using it.... Waste not, want not.
I haven't even thought about packing an emergency bag.... it will be on my to do list.
Take care and big hugs Julie XX
Hi Julie
Congratulations on your 'new' look.... your eyes shine even more.
It's been a week since I did mine and I'm slowly learning to appreciate the advantages, although I still miss having hair. I'm using baby shampoo to wash my head (like Mich, still a few prickles)...and I thought it might be little gentler.... not sure why. Oh and I've just gone through the bathroom and put all my 'hair stuff' in a box and stored it under the house till I need it again.... I also went shopping for 'head wear' yesterday... ended up getting the Bryon Bay Wrap that I tried on at the Look Good Feel Good Session.. I love it.. nice and warm as well as bright and cheerfull...
Anyway.. take care ... keep smiling.
