Excited, nervous, happy, AHH!
The hairloss has gotten a lot worse since those pictures on my profile were taken, and Ive lost half my left eyebrow and a huge chunk on my right eyebrow. My hairloss on my head has been SO itchy. I've been thinking about shaving my head for almost a month now, and I have been talking about it with my mom, step dad Rick, and my boyfriend, Jeremy. Took a while for my mom and Rick, but they are finally understanding my feelings towards my hair. My boyfriend is the most amazing guy ever and has been behind me 100% since the beginning. So I have decided, this Saturday, the 4th of September, is my shave date! I bought some clippers last weekend, and I have honestly sat in front of the mirror in my bathroom, plugged them in, and turned them on, and stared at them. I counted last night and I have 16 bald spots. The largest, on the crown of my head, is spreading to the top, so I cant even wear my hair down anymore. I have been rocking the slicked back bun look and everyone keeps telling me I carry it off very well, so thats a plus for when its all gone! I've also made a appointment to go on the 18th of September to get my eyebrows tattooed on. I think I'm more excited about that, because Im SO tired of drawing my eyebrows on, and then sweating them off a few hours later. So the countdown to Saturday has begun for me and Jeremy (he is shaving off his few inches of hair to support me) ;) I will post some post-pictures and maybe a video once the deed is done!

Hi Tamara! Good luck with the Big Shave on Saturday! I know when I finally did it, it was so freeing, I was no longer obsessed with watching my spots grow. You may be very surprised as I was by how many more spots may be under there. I had A LOT more than I thought. I have pics posted on my profile if you'd like to take a look.
Best of luck to you and let us know how you make out!

Good luck! I think you're going to love the way a clean bald head feels, and also the freedom and ease of having tattooed brows. You can see in my photos on my page how my patchy head looked the day before and the day of my shave....I felt SO much more in control once I shaved it, and stopped worrying about it. Let' us know how you're doing! Mary

Tamara,
I just shaved mine on Sunday and it is the most amazing feeling ever. My husband was supportive but thought I needed to wait awhile longer. Well after she shaved my head for me he realized what I had been telling him for so long. I had tons of spots. We are here to support you also, you will be great on Shave Day, just keep your chin up and know that God has a plan for you.

Good Luck on your BIG day. Im also so very close to grabbing the clippers that sit so close by. And I too tatt'ed my eyebrows after drawing them in for years. Best thing I did for myself.
