Old Hair is Out - New Hair is In

Today was the day to buzz off my hair. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I had the hairdresser start on the sides and back and work her way to the top and bangs. It actually looked kind of nice at one stage with short sides and longer on top. But then it all eventually had to come off. It's definitely interesting looking. It's about a half an inch all around And it still comes out when rubbing my head or removing a hat. It's just shorter hair falling out now. At least I won't clog the drain when I shower in the morning.

The New "Me"

After returning home, I got out my wig and hats to see how they all looked on me. The hats looked fine and will do around the house, going to the store, walking, and other similar places and events. When I'm going out to places where I know the people, like my son's scout meetings and school, church, or work, I'll wear my new hair. Here's a photo I took with my new 'do'. You can't even tell it's a wig...at least I hope not.

And now my head is hurting. My scalp had been a bit sore the last couple of days and was sore before the cut. But now it is really sore. Maybe wearing the wig today aggravated the scalp a bit more. I suppose once the rest of the hair is gone, the soreness will go away too. It's definitely tender, like when you sunburn the top of your head. Hopefully tomorrow it will feel better. I am volunteering at my son's school in the morning and was planning to wear my wig. I may have to just throw on a hat if it is more comfortable for now. We'll see in the morning.
