I mentioned in an earlier post about me coming to the
conclusion that I needed to cut my hair. So
I have been wearing my blade head for about two weeks now. Amazingly I
find all the fears I had are gone. I was all worried about what if people say
something negative? How will I be perceived at work? Will I lose my job because
I have no hair? Yes I had all those crazy thoughts. Well I have gotten a lot of
compliments. I have been pulled to the side and told "Wow you look
amazing." What made you cut your hair? I have had plenty of opportunities
to educate people about Alopecia. I had a couple of students ask why I cut my
hair. So I am sure some people do not understand it. That is fine. All and All
I have received a lot of support and encouragement and I know I am still as
attractive as I was with hair. I feel free and I am super glad I made the
decision to come from under the wigs and the hats. I do want to do a professional photo shoot to
show case my new look. I am looking into a photographer and I want to get this
done around the summer. I am super
confident and really realize how beautiful I am. I wonder what took me so long???????????
