last year a I saw a woman who made my day...she was completely bald, but she was dressed very stylishly (classy stylish), big sunglasses, but it was her carriage/attitude that struck me the most..it was like, "this is who I am and I accept it"...if I could have said something to her, I would have. maybe part of the "new" look should be a new attitude about yourself and how you look. Personally, I'm not comfortable showing my head completely uncovered; I opt for hats that I know don't hide the baldness but are more comfortable for me to wear. People know I'm bald under the hat, but I don't care.

The first time I really contemplated what I would look like without hair, all I could see was an image of my older brother on a bad day, not feminine at all. But as I got used to my new look, I started to see the inherent femininity in my face. I agree that a great deal of feeling good about oneself, and feeling feminine is part of that, is projecting confidence. Someone should do a  bald woman's makeover show though. I have almost never worn makeup, and I stopped wearing earrings about 10 years ago, but losing my hair has made me think about how I could remake my image. I have wondered about going bareheaded to a makeup counter and seeing what can be done, or about getting some dangling earrings that really make a statement. I have yet to do any of that though. I also want to learn how to tie beautiful scarves into fashionable head coverings. I definitely need help in the femininity department. The two things I have done are to embrace bright colors and to get some really cool sunglasses. :)

I googled bald and beautiful women for inspiration and found some gorgeous images.
Experiment with new make up ideas. I started adding sparkle to my eyeshadow and now get complimented on that regularly. I also like wearing earrings. I haven't changed my image too much as I think it works. What's important is that you feel beautiful and confident and that often starts from the inside and works it's way out.

Thank you for responding. By looking at your pic you do look beautiful. Are those your natural eyebrows or tattoos ?

Thank you
Kathy

Thank you all for your advice. Another question I am very fair skinned does anyone think spray tanning might help the feminine/confidence issue ?
