Okay, so it's only day 3 and I'm still floating on the pink cloud of empowerment. But I had fun in the shower today shaving my stubble instead of bemoaning the loss of hair. (I bought a Headshave and am slowly getting the hang of it.) Last night I went to my writer's group meeting and "flipped my wig" for them. I've sent pictures to lots of my family and closest friends and have gotten a really positive response. I love the feel of cool air on my head. I love my new wig but I love being without it as well. I am in a much freer space, and feel liberated. I can't make a decision for anyone else, but I can share my experience. It is great so far. Will keep you posted to see if the glow fades.

Being beautful, means being beautiful. It is what it is. And you are.

I think you look fantastic! I share you feelings, on how great it can be to be bald. I teach art, and I showed my shiny head for the first time in class this week. It felt GREAT!!

Hi Nants
Good on you, you look great.
There are definitely advantages to being hair-less.
