Let's Talk About Hair

I am kind of nervous about my hair growing back.  I feel like I will be stuck in this really weird phase where I have some hair but not enough to really have a hair style.  It’s like when you’re pregnant and start to show but it isn’t exactly clear if it’s a baby or a big meal.  It’s a weird in between phase. I have never had super short hair.  I love the short cropped hairstyles on other people, but on me?  I guess I’ll find out.  Since having lost my hair, I have noticed how frequently hair is the topic of discussions.  People talk about hair a lot!  Magazines sometimes have their entire issue devoted to hair.  Not helpful at this point.  There are commercials about hair, books about hair, and billboards about hair.  There’s a musical about hair!  It’s everywhere.  I miss my hair, yet I am still uncomfortable wearing my wig.  I’m not really sure why.  I guess I’m afraid that it looks fake.  Is it better to have no hair or fake hair?  I have no idea.  My wig is very cute, but it is odd to not be able to run my hands through it and it gets itchy and hot sometimes.  I am also afraid that it is going to be inadvertently crooked or I’ll be too careless about keeping it straight.  That is something I’ve never had to worry about.  It’s a lot of pressure!  I’m going to start wearing it soon.  Pictures to come.   

Looking on the Bright Side…having no hair or “in between” hair still has to be better than that perm I was trying to rock in the fourth grade.  Even my 9 year old self knew how awful it was.  Picture NOT included.
