I haven't had short hair since I was 21, but I decided to have one last salon experience before my hair fell out. Off I went to see my fabuous hairdresser Simon whose words still ring in my ears ...."Did you see Rhianna on X-factor last night? We're going to do a Rhianna!". So with Diamonds in the Sky ringing in my ears that's just what he did and I loved it, so much so that my wig that was prepped pre hair loss now feels too long - so it will be back to Simon we go to sort out "Tia"!
Now I have a few spikes left but quite like my balding head, its very cool for the hot flushes and doesn't require a hairdrier, although I am a sucker for hair products and miss all that stuff. My big sis has been showing people her new sister on a picture and I have had lots of lovely compliments but don't think I'll be brave enough to go out without my hat just yet, but do you know what I really want to!!! Hee Hee
Happy New Year everyone - love you all lots xxxx

Wow you do look great, as I thought! And I know exactly what you mean about the hot flushes. Think of the money when it comes to the hair products is all I can say - although habits die hard.. I still find I use a drop of shampoo on my head, and take a second towel to wrap around my head after the shower!
Love the photo you like me are comfortable with your new hair. I still wash my hair but I use baby shampoo . I gave my daughter all the shampoo I had in the cupboard. I know once mine grows a bit more I will want to dye it as Im now white and I don't like the colour. Lets hope a few more ladies post pictures.
Wow! A great picture! Now expeiment with glam scarves to build elaborate turbans and exotic head dresses! You would suit the exotic "bird of paradise" look!

Blown away by how terrific you look Madz! Much more glamourous and healthy looking than those starved looking models you see in magazines. I've often wondered why designers and photographers think fashion will sell better if the models look miserable. Beats me.
A friend of mine had chemo about 40 years ago and when she stopped wearing her wig- her hair was just growing back- she took to wearing large dangly earrings. How about trying that- with or without Margaret's exotic headgear!!
I also used to shampoo my scalp when I had no hair because it did get flaky. Apart from that it was no bad thing to be free of the blow drying and the rest when I didn't have much energy.
I am sure when its a little warmer you will go out 'with out' ..
When mine started to grown and it got a decent covering that was it I put the hats and scarfs away unless it was cold or windy ... and it was sod the funny looks and sometimes the comments ...sometimes had knowing looks from other ladies in scarfs ..that was nice ...
