My hair is just barely beginning to grow in -- about a quarter inch long, except for a few hairs that didn't ever fall out and that are now about an inch long. It looks very strange. All the hair is gray/white -- no dark roots coming up at all. I did still have some dark hair when I started this. Mostly, though, it still looks like scalp with a little fuzz. A peach of a head! :^)
Today I tried to go to the American Cancer Society office after my radiation treatment, because I hear they have a lot of free wigs, but they weren't open that early. Now that it's spring, many of my hats seem odd -- they are decidedly winter hats -- so I'm thinking maybe a wig will be an interesting change. I did get one wig at the Look Good, Feel Better session back in January, but it is platinum blonde and doesn't suit me. The short cut of it looks OK, just too blonde!
My bucket hat still looks cute and spring-y with colorful scarves. And there ARE nice spring hats, but I'm not sure I feel like buying any since I never wore hats before. A free wig sounds like a good spring solution, although they are hot and I may decide by summer that ball caps are perfectly fine. I always abhorred ball caps before, not sure why. Too "masculine" I guess, just like I never liked polo shirts. My personality is already masculine enough (strong, loud, intelligent, pushy) that I guess I compensate by wearing more feminine clothes. Huh, I never thought about that before!
Happy Spring!
I had heard that hair sometimes comes back a different color AND a different texture! So that curly-haired people can wind up with straight hair and vice versa. And even young people can go from being brunettes to blondes, etc.
ReplyDeleteSo it is not so surprising that youR little tiny hairs are now all gray. But I LOVED your hair when you were leaving it all silver, so if you choose that again, I'm sure I'll be pleased, anyhow. And I'm sure you want to design your life around pleasing ME! ;-)
