I don't know what happened to cause this but I think I'm having an epiphany of sorts. I'm fed up with looking like Homer Simpson on top, and only a few pitiful strands underneath. Why I didn't reach this point sooner I don't know, but I think coming back to this forum has convinced me that I can admit the truth - my hair won't grow back - and that this is perfectly OK. For whatever reason, I was MEANT to be bald, and so I'm finally going to accept it and buzz the rest off. I'm not yet brave enough to post pics though because I've put on so much weight recently that my face looks like a watermelon (and nearly the same colour too lol) and I just don't feel comfortable in myself. When I lose some weight, however, I will proudly show you all my bald head! I thank God that this site is here, because otherwise I would never have reached this moment without being reduced to floods of tears. Y'all are wonderful and being here is truly an enlightening and empowering experience!

Good for you! Check out the Group - Sisterhood of Women who Shave - for lots of support from those of us who have accepted that this is what our bodies are doing. I posted pics on my page of what my hair looked like the night before I shaved, and I haven't regretted it. You WILL feel comfortable with this new you...it just might take a little while. For myself, I'm just happy that I'm otherwise healthy and able to to all that I want. I'm taking off tomorrow on a diving trip, and will be proudly bald the whole time.

I've only been bald about a month now, but I love it! I feel outrageous and free. I hope it's the same experience for you. Definitely join the Sisterhead as Mary suggested...we're sassy and happy.
