Being Bald

I just want to say that being bald is pretty cool. I seriously do not miss my hair at all. I know it sounds odd, but I think I can pull off the whole bald girl thing as a fashion statement! I have several really nifty scarves. I feel like a gypsy when I wear them. It reminds me of when I was in elementary school and we did a musical about gypsies with Mrs. Riddle's music class. I had the part of the fortune teller and I had to wear a scarf. I thought it was cool then too! Maybe I should wear some bangly bracelets and long flowing skirts?? I could start a trend.

I am opting out of gettin a wig. I don't think I would enjoy wearing one, especially in the heat and humidity of Texas summer. Fake hair just doesn't suit me. Even the little fake stick on bangs and such don't appeal to me. I still have my eyebrows and eyelashes- although they will eventually fall out too- I might miss them. Kelsey has promised to help me figure out how to do eyeliner when my eyelashes finally go. I don't normally wear much makeup- prefer the natural me, so I'll need some help with the eyeliner thing.

I can take a shower and get ready to go out in no time at all now that I am bald. It makes me wonder why guys with little to no hair (you know who you are-haha) end up taking such long showers. Once you eliminate hair washing it really cuts down on shower time. Yesterday I washed my fuzzy head with my "add body and lift to flat lifeless hair" shampoo...hee hee- I actually giggled at that- yep, I think flat and lifeless is a good description for hair that is 1 mm long! :)

Another good thing about no hair is not having to shave my legs! Woohoo! Now that is a great aspect to chemo induced alopecia! I'll have nice smooth legs all summer long.

Yay for Baldness! :)
