Hair Hair Hair - Another question

OK, if we're going to talk about dippity-do, you can't forget the aqua net hairspray!!

You are all just cracking me up! Btw - aqua net is still a big item for back stage at dance competitions - my DD uses it and I've gotta tell you it holds the crazy chemo curls down!

Remember the Toni perms?  LOL!!!  5th grade, I think.  My grandmother did this to me!!!

Caroll - cute birthday princess picture!

mccrimmon-too funny about texting friends your hair!!! Sounds like something I would do:0

Monime-I am at about 12/13 weeks pfc and don't have much more than you! Mine is still very thin front middle, but it was always kinda thin there. In fact, if that would fill in I probably would go topless. You have a nice head shape in the back too! Mine is kinda like a block, kinda like a wrestlers head:(

Love all the baby pictures! At the salon I work at one of the stylist would keep a can of aqua net hidden but bring it out for a few special clients. Could smell that clear across the salon when she brought it out.

When I found out I needed chemo and that I would lose my hair I was pretty devastated as most of us are, but I figured well my hair has been very damaged from all the abuse I did to it so this was kind of a do over for me. I never realized how much it would be like my hair as a child, except for the grey of course lol. But seriously its super healthy now and I hope I can keep it that way. I know it's hard to imagine for those of you still only just seeing sprouts and waiting patiently for jsut enough coverage to go topless, but I think most of you will be pleasantly surprised when you get there.

Peggy - if the picture is hosted somewhere on the web (won't work from your local computer drives) you can right click in the picture and select copy.  Then come here to the text box, click in the box, then right click and select paste.  It will ask you to confirm the action.  That is the easiest way to post a picture.  And this doesn't work from Firefox, you have to do it through Internet Explorer.

ILboys, I took a xanax before work.  Only problem I had was it was between Christmas and New Years and I work in a really small office.  I was the only one to show up!  My advice, just do it.  You'll be surprised at how many people compliment your decision to chop it all off.

I stopped chemo August 25, 2011, and radiation November 3, 2011.  On Christmas Day I had enough little hair to attend family gathering with my own hair.  They told me I looked like Shanade O'Conner.  Or some other star popular now!  But Since then it has reached about 1 inch in length, is salt and pepper grey, and curly! I really like it!  I am 70 but had used hair dye since I was 16 and had no idea what color my hair really was.  Been wanting to let it go natural for some time but every time I attempted would chicken out thinking I wanted to "look young". I work in technology and most of my coworkers are in their 20, 30 40s.   Well, I did! i am retired as of Feb. 1, 2012.  Also I am still experiencing persistent pain in my bones and muscles so if anyone has had this and knows of a solution please post!  Am very happy to be somewhat normal again but would like to be pain free, of course.

 ILboys As I was told last week when I asked the same thing was........ you just gotta rock it!!! Find the self confidence that BC took. I am 12 weeks PFC and dyed my hair blonde. It is short but it does almost look like I cut it this way. Good luck and LOVE THYSELF

Fabulash and fantastic Frankenboob!!!

Wow frankenboobs - you look great. Your eyes are so pretty too.

Frankenboobs, you look great.  I love your hair color.

thanks all! it feels good to actually mostly recognize myself again.

cdairth, i felt much better about mine after getting it coloured. it was sooooo white that i actually looked like i had bald spots even though i had good coverage. do what you have to, to feel good again. this journey can be so depressing and it's just amazing what doing little things for ourselves can accomplish. i hope you feel perkier soon!

frankenboob, i agree with everyone!  you look fabulous.  i love your hair!  and, of course, your eyes and lashes are very enviable.  so glad you posted the picture.

missy, my twin sister has used latisse and it was amazing.  your eyelashes were beautiful, long and think.  i'm thinking seriously about doing it myself.
