Hair loss
Sitting here with tears streaming cos my hair has started coming out in big clumps. I'm on day 19 since start of chemo so I've been expecting it but that doesn't make it any easier. I feel overwhelmed...
You are not alone in feeling sad about the loss of your hair. I didn't go to a hairdresser as I was worried I would break down and cry while having my hair cut off, so I bought myself a mens shaver set and zapped it off myself. First I cut it short and then I zapped it off using a No. 1 in the same day, then I braved the world wearing a headscarf that same day.
None of this is easy @JulesAlive and I also had a lovely wig lined up and some really nice headscarves. My wig actually looked better than my own hairstyle at the time, so that turned out to be a plus for me. Hop onto the forum anytime, as we all understand the roller coaster feelings, you are not alone. Take care and best wishes. xx
