It has been almost 2 months now and I have had so much hair loss that I shaved it all off last night.I thougt I was fine with it but once I started that first pass through my hair with the clippers ,I did get a little emotional.I quickly recovered and knew I was doing the right thing!

For the most part I have been handeling my hair loss pretty well, although I do still have my good and bad days. I still do the why me.I even get up in the morning and look at my wig and think "I hate you". Dont get me wrong I am thankful that I have it.It makes me feel somewhat normal. It's just that my whole life has changed and I have a diffent way of doing things. Like wearing a wig EVERYDAY or a head wrap. Funny thing is both those things take less time to do than it took me to style my real hair.Well life does go on and I refuse to let this bring me down!

Yes, welcome to the club! It is so emotional when you finally shave it all off. I couldn't stop crying. I remember looking at all of the hair and thinking I should not have done this. It looked like so much hair, but really it wasn't. It was so nice once it was gone because then I didn't have to watch it fall out. You are right, life does go on!

Klo, welcome to the club and it s a BIG one here too. Many of us totally understand what you are going through. I find as they years go by, I think of my hair less and less. I can tell you that it has been over 20 years for me and at this point I have just as many happy memories in my life as sad ones. Life certainly does go on.

I feel your strength and it strengthens me! Thank you ! By the way what type of cute clipper/razor is that ? I totally want one and it's pink too ! I just do mine with boy clippers and I am thinking I want to take it all the way down.

It's been over 4 years since I shaved off my dwindling hair, and I'm in an amazing place with it. I honestly don't think about being bald until someone asks me about it, and even that has gotten easier. This is just who I am now.
