Hi Deb,<br />
<br />
Transitions are a kind of shock and usually turn out for the best. I understand what you mean about leaving strands...but honestly, it is odd to leave hair pieces in dangles. You will want to feel like a normal/complete person and having a bald head can give you that feeling.<br />
<br />
As for family, the best advice I have is to put on a smile and be as nonchalant as possible even if you have to act a bit at first ....you said your children were young. A lot of talking about it and prepping…
Hi Deb,<br />

<br />
Try to make your new look the new norm. And when their friends ask (and you might want to prep their parents first that you'll be seen around without hair ) have a little sound bite down that your hair just stopped growing and " isn't that funny?" "But your hair will always grow" is a necessary reassurance as well.<br />
<br />
If you need more scripts for specific situations, just let me know. Glad to help with that and scarf/hat styling as well.<br />

I felt sick to my stomach all day and was so nervous on the way to the appt. But I feel now that I'm DOING something about my hair loss instead of watching me lose more hair each month, so it seemed. I'm a bit stressed because I'm not ready to show my kids my head, to be honest. not at that point just yet. i haven't told them i shaved my head, because when i told them i was thinking about it, they all almost cried! i've just been wearing a sleepcap at night for now.<br />

I think i look better bald, at least younger. but i'm not ready to show anyone my head yet. it's too new to me. Deb Fuller left some strands in front of my ears and in the back, which is good because it does help to make it look like I still have hair if I just wear a hat. But it those little strands make me look strange, like i'm real sick or something. i'd look better completely bald, but keeping those strands do help with making the wigs look more real, so i just have to learn to get used to them.

Hi Deb, Good for you!!<br />
When are you getting your Freedom Wig? I actually am getting mine this coming Saturday. I'm a bit nervous - I'll have to shave as well. But I'm hoping it's all I imagine. I'll let you know how it turns out. Send good thoughts my way Saturday.

Congratulations on shaving! Doesn't it feel like you're in control again? Have you visited the AW Group, Sisterhood of Women Who Shaved Their Head?<br />

Good luck!

Update : I shaved my head last week - it feels like a HUGE weight is lifted off my chest. It wasn't as big of a deal as I thought it would be. Looking forward to my Freedom wig! :)<br />
<br />
For now I'm wearing Samantha. I think it looks obvious it's a wig, but apparently some people had no idea. I also wear it up in a clip like you do Natalie - I like it better that way.
