It's autumn! and my hair is falling like the leaves will soon be
Hi Troopers!
This morning while standing in the bathroom, I could feel my hair falling onto my shoulders and see it hit the floor. It's a bit surreal to feel and see that isn't it, especially when you haven't touched your head! Well It is Autumn (LOL!) I said, but it's now time for that short, short haircut!
So on my way into work I walked into my hairdresser, again no words were spoken, she just led me to my chair and said OK here we go! She did however give me "the look" when she grabbed my hair to hold it and it came off in her hand! We both laughed and she continued cutting....So, this is the new me for now....nature will do the rest.
Hope you're all having a good day and if you aren't, hugs to you Xx

Good on you for posting the photo, you look great. You must be about a week or two ahead of me. Mine hasn't fallen out yet, but I kind of like the autumn symbolism, as I started chemo on the second day of Autumn, and am looking forward to cosying up through winter in woolly beanies, and breaking in to bud full of new life in the spring. Well, that's the plan anyway!
Also...saw your sketch of the pin trooper boots...........loved it

Love the new style!!! I had mine clipped to about a number 2 when it started coming out in handfuls. Now 5 months since my last chemo & my hair is still shorter than yours, & I'm disappointed to say that I seem to have missed out on the chemo curls ??. My hair always did grow slowly, but at least it's coming beach as thick as ever, if very salt and peppery.
Take care, Lyn
Thanks Eileen!
just be careful I was told that if you shave your hair down to skin it can permanent damage the follicles???
I cut it short so I wouldn't have such long hairs falling everywhere.. But having said that I have shorter ones fluttering around me! Lol! Can't win....

It's thinner than it looks!
And today I have lots more patches missing!
But thank you for the compliment! It's been years since I've had such short hair

Tracy you do look beautiful & really suit your hair short. My hair is pretty short to start with so I am undecided if I should shave before the chemo starts or wait & see.
But looking how good you look I think I will wait so thank you.
Best of luck with your next chemo.
