I finished chemo 66 days ago, and I've now got some hair coming back...I did a post about it yesterday, with a photo.
I LOVED my bald head, I actually felt about a million times sexier then when I had hair, because I felt that people had to concentrate on my face, makeup and earrings etc. I had so many compliments on it because I chose to embellish it rather than cover it up, ie. henna tattoo, indian head jewellery, body paint & make up. Here's a selfie I did from a photoshoot with awesome body paint:
People say that it depends on the shape of your head, personally though I think it depends on confidence. If you fel awkward about it, you will look awkward and not carry it off. I also had very encouraging friends and family, and thankfully I live in a very open minded and relaxed area where people don't stare or point etc.
I bought hats, wigs and scarves with the best of intentions, however as I had my chemo through summer I found it too hot to wear any of them...and I found it much more fun to experiment with being bald! If I had been bald during winter, I would have had a different hair colour every day :-)
Have fun with it! Bald definitely CAN be sexy!!
