Hair shave! Keep smiling π
For anyone dreading when the time comes to losing your hair, I thought it would be good for us all that have been through this emotional moment to try & help others by putting our photos up; yes itβs emotional at the time & tears will flow but we all smile after & our photos prove it! Itβs feels empowering! ππ»β€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈ I hope this helps others & keeps you positive & smiling πβ€οΈπβ€οΈπ

- Blossom1961MemberMy hair started growing back in September 2018 and it is still super curly. I had it cut and styled yesterday, today it has kinked up crazy. My pre chemo hair had a slight but stubborn wave. I still have the stubborn, much like me.

So good getting ready! I was quicker than hubby lol. I mostly had hats & a few scarfs! Then got to point when just going to shops going bare!!! β€οΈShellshocked2018_ said:Me to TillyBilly, saved a fortune on hair products and hair dressers.
I also found that it didnβt take me long to get ready to go out anywhere.
Always find the positive out from the negative.
You can buy such beautiful headscarves If you want to wear something. - TillyBillyMember

Hope this helps others not be scared! Iβm happy to know that the hair eventually goes straight haha! Iβve got the chemo kink πBrenda5 said:I got a short crew as well before treatment as it was better to have short bits falling out rather than long strands. It did take a few weeks of chemo to lose most of it and some was even growing back in patches. The first lot of hair back didn't feel very healthy so I did keep it to a short style for a while. I have dead straight hair and for a year it became curly. Now its long and dead straight again. - TillyBillyMemberThatβs great! Good idea especially with kids β€οΈ I hope this is helping others x

- ClaireyCanaryMemberLove your pics ladies. Such a great idea to share to support those that come after.
My kids were more worried about me losing my hair than I was, so hubby and I made an "afternoon party" of shaving silly styles before it all went. It reassured the kids to see us smiling and laughing. It actually helped me remain positive too - I could have cried and moped or had a fun afternoon with my family. I chose the latter.
