Since I've lost almost all of my hair, even my eyebrows and eyelashes are starting to come out, I thought it might be interesting to share some random thoughts about not having hair...for those of you who don't know what it's like.
I've shaved almost a half hour off my morning "get dressed" routine...no conditioner, no styling products, no hair dryer, no straightener!
I can go swimming without worrying about my hair looking ratty afterward.
Hairs found on dinner plates do NOT belong to me.
My head sweats much more than I realized. I just don't have hair to absorb it.
I can ride with the windows down in the car anytime I want...not a hair out of place...or IN place for that matter.
Wigs are fun!
Wigs are HOT!
Square scarves are difficult to find these days, and tying them isn't any easier.
The sun is hotter on a bald head than dark brown hair.
People really pay attention to your earrings when they are visible.
Ears are easier to fold forward on a pillow when you don't have hair to reduce friction.
People are actually bold enough to ask you what happened to your hair. CanNOT believe that one.
It's important to alternate the way you lay your baby the crib. My mother made sure I did that for Jack. You never know when others are going to see the TRUE shape of your baby's head. Better safe than sorry!
For some reason, I'm still holding on to my old hairbrushes. Seems like I deserve new ones when I have new hair.
Remember when your mom told you that you'd end up wearing glasses one day if you called others "four eyes?" Well, the same is true of giving others a hard time on their receding hairlines.
