Thank you x

Contributing my bald photo :) from February. 
It was a great feeling to shave it all of and stop the worry the mess was causing me. I am now 9 weeks post chemo and my head is pretty much covered completely again.It has come back more black that I thought I had; another positive. 
I enjoyed the feeling of water on my clean shaved head and tried to embrace the look whilst I had it. Do wear sunblock when outside and protect yourself from the cold too though especially during these winter months. Sending positive thoughts and warm wishes to all x

You look fab! I must admit loved not having to wash & style my hair! Haha! Saved money & 2 minute job to get ready 😂 from a negative turns into lots of positives! 

Me to TillyBilly, saved a fortune on hair products and hair dressers.
I also found that it didn’t 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.

Love 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. 

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.

I decided to take control and cut mine on my terms and timeline. Lots of laughs as it came off as we tried different styles- the Tiger King mullet was the best/worst!! Enjoying the sun on my head and the showers!

The shower the showers are the best 😍👍

That’s great! Good idea especially with kids ❤️ I hope this is helping others x

Hope this helps others not be scared! I’m happy to know that the hair eventually goes straight haha! I’ve got the chemo kink 😂
