"Hairy" Kiri

Well, my hair has started to make a slow release from my scalp. Yesterday, the amount of hair that left my head was significant. I realized the death of my hair had begun when my one year old grabbed my hair yesterday and pulled out a huge handful with little effort on her part. I've already decided I won't be putting up with the slow loss of my hair and will be shaving my head when the loss of my hair dramatically increases, creating messes in the sink, shower and floor. I am hoping this will happen after Wednesday, as it is my oldest's birthday and I don't want her to remember her day as the day mom went bald.

I do have a wig and several hats and scarfs. I really don't think I will be much of a wig person, but it is hard to say right now. Since most of my bald time will be in the spring/summer, I imagine a wig would be very hot and scratchy, so I am thinking hats will be my preferred head covering. But I won't know until I am going thru it.

  1. My very good friend, Barb, is going through this right now and while her wig has been itchy at times, she mostly wears it and is extremely cute in it. However, scarves and little caps work, too. Make sure you are comfortable and the rest doesn't matter. YOUR comfort is what's important right now.
