Here we go

Hi ChristineM,

thanks for your message it really opened my eyes to alot of things being a hairdresser the first thing I panicked about was losing my hair as I thought What are my students going to think about there lecturer with no hair.

Now having lost about 60% of my hair I have cut it shorter I still font have the courage to shave it just yet (one step at a time), but still have those moments when I look in the mirror and see myself and am just so shocked. I know my husband loves me no matter I look like as he tells me all the time but if I dont like lookign at myself like this how can I believe he can.

Despite all the ups and downs so far I have managed to see the funny side of things when I had my hair cut shorter my best friend did it at my parents house as a kind of support group  I guess my brothers and nieces were there with there wives and they were all like it looks amazing and my 4 year old niece said to me I look like a boy and her 3 year old sister added I looked like a Prince we all started laughing.

I decided to nickname the wig I have been wearing as I read somewhere that when Beyonce goes on stage to perform she calls herself Sasha Fierce as it gives her courage to stand up in front of everyone. So now when I where my wig I feel that bit of strength for some strange reason?

My husband on the other hand thinks its hilarious and feels hes married to two people (he wishes can only handle one as it is lol)

I too am glad I heard about this forum as it so reasuring to talk with others who know exactly what your going through and completely understand.

I have finally inherited some sisters
