There are heaps of people around here bald, men and women, I didn't feel any more stared at than usual. We're outnumbered by tourists all year and locals all know one another. I kept giving myself a number one for a few months after it started to grow back. It would grow thicker and a better colour every time. 2 weeks ago I went to the hairdresser with such short hair (maybe equivalent to a number 4) thinking she might send me away. I got it dyed 2 shades darker so am a brunette for the first time in my life.
