Shaved my head and bought a wig!

Hi people!

Just an update!

Have been quite fine. Had to refine a few of my meals, i.e. no longer can tolerate spicy food and had to make sure I was checking in on my feelings as found myself becoming anxious about possibly falling sick. The husband has been supportive in both areas! 

My hair started falling out early this week and I soon realised my hair was not short enough! Finding hair everywhere. So took myself to the hair dressers with scarf all ready. Clipped to a number 4. And couldn't stop smiling as now I look so much like my youngest brother and thought it does not look that bad! Didn't use the scarf, just walked stright out and continued my day. Very different from my previous hair dresser experience!

On Saturday I asked a few girlfriends to come wig shopping with me. Wanted a wig for work. I always thought I would just wear a scarf but a few said things like you are too young to wear a scarf, and really I think I don't want to look unwell at work. In my busy role I still want my staff to think it's just me doing my job and that I am capable to still doing my job. Anyway the wigs available are amazing and the assistance I received was wonderful! So much choice! Decided on and easy care straight short wig. Also bought a fringe head band for under hats etc. Had a lovely time!  Tuesday will be the test, I hope I am as positive about it at 5am when I am getting ready for work! ??

2nd round this Thursday. 

Have a great week everyone! Stregnth to us all!

  • I hated my wig. Keep meaning to go back and see if anything looks better. I just feel it is too big for me. I am glad you found something you liked. I've  got loads of hats which certainly don't  look odd now it's cool. I do put on subtle makeup which must be working as everyone keeps commenting on how well I look. I could slap them some days.

    Hey Nessie,

    I also chose the wig option, and it was the best thing for me. It gave me more confidence, and it was pretty funny, as people were saying "have you had your hair cut?" My response being, " Yes" without mentioning that it was a chemical haircut ....lol

    Sending you a big cuddle, Trace ??????????
