Stepping out bald
So I shaved my head thursday night after a rather large clump of hair fell out and I decided I couldn't take it anymore. Friday I went out, and wore a scarf, and got looks, and a really sweaty head. Friday night my boyfriend got into town (he lives 4 hours south) and he had also shaved his head (such the sweetie). On saturday we decided to go out and he told me "Don't wear the scarf for me or anyone else. I love you for you, and I think you look beautiful the way you are." (Hes WAY to sweet, lol). So we went to a few stores, and I went bald. It felt AWESOME to walk around bald. I only got a few looks, and those people got a nice stare back from my boyfriend. Fast forward to today, tuesday. Back to work after a long weekend. I wore a scarf, I didnt want to make anyone feel odd at work. My boss and his assistant asked to see, so I took off my scarf and they kept telling me I look BEAUTIFUL with my bald head and I dont need to wear anything to cover it. So I decided to keep it off and see what happened. Ive had to explain to a few people why Im bald and they are understanding and very nice about it. One lady, who is my grandmothers age, told me I look "sexy" like 5 times, I think I turned all shades of red!! So I think I'm going to stick to rocking the bald look (until it gets colder out.) I feel 110% better this week than I did last week when I had hair. SOOO glad I shaved and had the courage to go out bald!! Thank you Alopecia World, I know ALL the people on here have helped me get through this!!
