I have bald patches that's why mine came off as well as I hated having an untidy head ... I'm using baby shampoo to keep it moist and healthy what's good for the babes is good for me 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😘

Hi trg3 yes, I too am bald in patches - small vertical streaks on the back of my head presumably because of it being dubbed ff in my sleep - as well as being irregularly coloured all over! Rocking the salt and pepper look 😅.

I expected all my hair to simply fall out in one go so it took me by surprise that this didn't happen. I've had 2 chemo's and am still carrying stubble and still shedding nightly into my soft cotton beanie. Ah well, there you go........😉 We soldier on 👊😘😌
