It's Hair Loss Support At Its Best™
Hair or No Hair???? I need to hear from you ALL!
Got a little something to share with you all, as I STILL feel a little tug and struggle. As you all may know I have AA. My hair, just in the past year came out nearly 85% of it...
As of today, if I go 4 days without shaving I have a head full or hair...well except the large patch on the back near my neck.
SOOO...I should be happy right? I feel so torn though because I've been PUBLICLY bald now for over a year. I'm happy because I'm on this mission of AWARENESS...it's so near and dear to me that people see me...a bald woman...a NO health problem bald woman...a PROUD bald woman...a woman that's accepted Life for what it is, bald woman...
I was thinking that me feeling torn is due to having to deal with loss all over again...not wanting to get my hopes up, but that goes against everything that I affirm in my life. Being POSITIVE...Speaking GOOD AWESOME things into existence...
How do I not feel like this...I LOVE me, but won't this stop my mission if people don't see me loving my Bald self if I let my hair come back? The awareness will then stop for me and what I'm trying to do, right?
It's important to me that others see that a Bald woman is just as BEAUTIFUL as a bald Michael Jordan.
Did I just answer my own question? :0))))
How do you all handle when your hair is in Remission?
Peace and Light!

Hi Julia! I agree with RJ: If you continue to shave your head simply to continue your mission, are you limiting yourself? Life with, or without hair, is wonderful, so if your body is naturally growing your hair back, why not keep your hair? If you had indicated that you preferred to shave your head because it felt most natural to you, then I'd say shave and stay bald, but if you're doing so to prove a point, you may be clouding your natural beauty - which is simply you looking how the Creator intended for you to look. Just an idea. And by the way, I'm bald with no regrowth, don't expect any regrowth, and am loving life. Best wishes.
