I can't ignore it any longer. It started slowly a couple of months ago. A few hairs in my comb. Now when I comb or brush my hair or shampooo it, or run my fingers through it, several hairs come out.
I started this process with thin, fine hair. I knew that it wouldn't fall out in clumps. But, I have grown no body hair since this began, so every hair that comes out now, is not being replaced by anything else.
A friend has a wig catalog she wants to give me. I will probably look on the American Cancer Society page and see what they have to offer. I really don't look that great in hats, and I'm not cute enough to pull off scarves. I think I'm going to have to look at wigs. I hear some of them aren't so hot/sweaty in the summer.
It's very noticeable to people, even tho they have been polite enough not to comment on the thinness. It's getting hard to do anything with it as well.
I truly wish that I was bold enough to have it all cut off and say 'screw it' to anyone who doesn't like it. I don't think that's me, unfortunately. I shall find a way to deal with this. So, if I look just a little bit different next time you see me, you can comment or not. I'll do what I feel I need to do.

Back in 1999, I had to "put down" my old WhoDat cat; he was 21, had had a great life, but I was heart-broken. I did what the ancient Egyptians did, and shaved my head and eyebrows - and kept them shaved until Jeff, my husband, asked me to re-grow my hair.
The "fashion" got me some stares, and I had to use a good sun-block on my head for a while - but it made me feel better to be able to honor the old soul.....
