Don’t do it!
Published 9 months ago in My life.So, there’s a new faction in the office, telling me “don’t do it!'’
My hair is looking pretty good at the moment, I must admit. It’s that thing where you’re about to go to the hairdressers for a radical change and suddenly you have a good hair day. Only magnified to the power of 10.
I don’t know if any of you watched Desperate Housewives last night but there’s a storyline about a woman with cancer who turns her hubby on by wearing different coloured wigs.
Hmm, not sure about this…I did once wear a black bobbed wig on my 21st birthday - it was a hippy party - many, many moons ago.
Looked ok. I’ll give it some thought.

Awww, so do it. I’ve heard horror stories about girls who shaved their heads: “girls were trying to pick me up”… but in the cases where I’ve actually seen people do the greatest shave, their hair always looks awesome and interesting in its various stages of being gone and growing back. And there’s all the tremendous fun of wigs. Ever wanted to try out different hair? Now’s your chance!!
I don’t know who’s been telling you not to do it, Heaths, but I for one am fully behind you on this shave.
Not so fully behind you that I would do it myself, but it’s something I would pay to see, (plus I know the money won’t be wasted).
Just a warning, you will be known as “Slaphead” as of next Friday.
Go Heather!
A friend of mine shaved her head for the greatest shave two years ago (I think) and has had a range of fantastic hair styles since then a la Kylie Minogue. A great role model for grow back styles.
PS I would never call you slaphead!
From personal experience the last thing I would want to do is “turn my husband on with a wig”……firstly too bloody tired, secondly wigs itch unbearably, and thirdly but equally important, is the fact, your head actuals gets quite cold…..
I wouldn’t suggest being without any hair at all if you have a choice! But hey you look like your face would be enhanced with or without hair. Mine, looked like a beach ball!
When my hair returned it was tight curls and my husband loved it, but looking in the mirror I was seeing a stranger, and at the first opportunity had the curls cut off leaving very short butch hair style but better than curls. Mother nature can’t win!
My apologies I didn’t realize you were undertaking the exercise as part of the cause to fight leukemia, although if I had been more observant I should have guessed.
I learned this from the Oakleigh Monash Leader which my daughter gave me this afternoon. Small world I thought as I remembered my previous comments.
I was thinking it was a sort of fashion statement and how far would you go! As a fund raiser awareness program it changes my response. Go for it! Your hair will probably grow back very quickly and even thicker perhaps.
Are you able to cheat and leave about an inch on? It can look quite attractive at that point! You’re a good woman!, and thank you.
It’s only hair, and it will grow back - go for it I reckon !! What better reason to do something so dramatic ? At least you can choose whether to go through with it, cancer sufferers don’t have that choice…
