I DID IT!

I finally shaved my head. July 16. It was awesome. I cried most of the day - almost mourning my hair. We bought a camera, took pictures with my family, put the little bit of hair i had left in a pony and hubby shaved it!!! Very freeing! Shaving with a razor is kind of difficult, I have done A LOT of "nicking". So after 2 years of slowly losing 80% of my hair....it is done! Some family members still dont understand, but hoping someday they will.

One thing that is funny is my husband bought me a partial wig (?) - it has hair attached to a baseball hat My older kids said they are now used to me with no hair :)

Thanks for letting me share this. This had been so hard, as most everyone can empathize.

Blessings,
Tami

WAY TO GO! That is wonderful. It is very freeing, isn't it!! Don't worry about the "nicking"... the more you shave, the easier that it will get. Are you using a regular razor? I use the HeadBlade. I found out about it from the founder of "Bald Girls Do Lunch". I feel like it makes shaving your head easier. You are brave! Hugs!

You're such a brave person!
Your challendge was to overcome yourself, and you did it!

Alopecia is much more hurtful for women, because of social stereotypes.
