To shave or not to shave?

I was wondering . I am starting to get more and more hair.
Its been 4 years since I lost it all.
Should I save it to start again. Or shall I leave it and see what its doing?
My has started in the crown of my head and its getting bigger and bigger filing with hair all around the back of my scalp.
i was just wondering if anyone else has experienced this.
I would appreciate any and all input.
Thanks.
Ronda

Personally for me, I like to keep my head shaved. It is so thin that I could never go without wearing a wig and when it does start growing, it is hard for my wig to stay on straight. Also, it is lots cooler with it being shaved.

Thanks for the reply Ktownnana. I have alot more coming in I hope it all comes in.
I have been using this Nioxin. Seems like it helps or maybe its just starting to take off.
I still think I will wait and see how it goes so far it doens't seem to bother with my wigs.
I do get pretty hot.
Take care and thanks for the help:)

Ronda, you are most welcome. I'm praying ALL your hair grows back and there will be no need to shave!

Yes thank you. I hope so too.
But I am happy what ever God gives me and I know he only gives me what I can handle.
Thanks for replying:)

My hair fell out in patches 4 months ago. Every morning I got up, looked in the mirror, and was disappointed and worried by what I saw. The best thing for my mental well being at that time was to get rid of it all. I let it go and the mental healing began. And- it is so much easier to keep a wig on when my head is shaved. The stubble holds it in place :-). For the past month, a lot of my bald patches have begun to fill in. I let it grow out a bit to get a better idea of if I could use it. I got the same sad, disappointed feeling. I feel like it is still too thin, so I shaved it again. Keeping it shaved while I am not able to use it helps me to mentally move on. It was the best thing I did. Good luck! I hope you can regain your hair soon!

I totally agree with you asdf234. My wigs just stay on so much better when my head is shaved.
