I've been growing my hair for a while. I used to like it short but it grew too fast for a woman who gets to the hairdresser twice a year these days.
The honcologist (whom I might add has perfectly groomed, lovely, thick hair), said it will fall out on day 10 with the treatment.
This is how my children see me. The eleven year old likes to play with my phone and takes many profile shots in the car. Usually I am ranting at them and they are soon deleted. (The photos not the chillun!) For the purposes of this exercise I'm coming out so to speak.
So as you can see there is a lot of hair, follicular overindulgence. After all that growing though, I rarely wore it out.
It was usually contained in a knob at the back of my head.
Occasionally it would be worn in pigtails or braids (if I was going to a bush dance or stripping furniture).
More often than not it was scrunched into a messy blob and that was my favourite way to wear it.
It feels pretty good to have it short again. Shorty burst out laughing when she saw it. This is a good thing as she will now begin to think it is normal for Mum to get another haircut each week.
So long as she doesn't think it's so normal that she gets stuck into hers again.
Hilarious!!!
Hugs

Back at you! X
DeleteYou look gorgeous!!!
ReplyDeletePshaw! Only when Nat does it! Today it's a frizz ball.
DeleteIt looks great, and it'll look fab short as well.
ReplyDeleteI just had a peruse of your turbans. If anyone's gonna rock a turban, it'll be you.
I'm liking the one with the daisy jewel worn by the Zoolander guy!
DeleteYou are so gorgeous, and so so brave.
ReplyDeleteSeems a crappy way to get to go to the hairdresser more often though.
It grows too fast to keep it short but backwards cuts work well!
DeleteIt makes you look really young and mod. You look gorgeous! xx
ReplyDeleteSays she of the avatar fame! Looks like we both 'came out' this week!
DeleteI stumbled upon your blog recently and have been following avidly ever since because I am in awe of your courage and wonderful sense of humour at such a difficult time and because a dear friend of mine is going through a similar thing to you and well I guess I can just associate with what your writing about and in a way I guess that also helps me help my friend and understand how she is feeling. I sent my friend a book on juicing after another friend of mine swore blind that it got her through the trials and tribulations of chemo and helped her recover from what was an agressive form of breast cancer. I started juicing for health as a result and its really addictive and really boosts your energy levels. Anyway, I am sure you have probably done your research and looked into the benefits of juicing and other means of helping you deal with the chemo etc, but I just wanted to say if you haven't then do look into it. My friend emailed me yesterday to say thank you for the book I sent her and said it has really given her so much energy etc and helped her recover from her first round of chemo. Next round on Friday.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I wanted to write and introduce myself and even though you dont know me, I am sending as much love and strength as I can muster from my sleepy corner of england.
You are remarkably brave (I am sure you dont feel it) and an inspiration.
Much love
sophie
Really not brave, quite normal and nervous and looking for silver linings wherever possible.
DeleteGosh, prettiness!
ReplyDeleteLooks great and I'm sure it'll look great in every style. Love the last bit, made me laugh!
ReplyDeleteShe has a bit of a 'shaggy dog' cut at the back crown where she got a bit eager with the scissors!
DeleteYou are beautiful Annie, long hair, short hair or no hair. xxx
ReplyDeleteYou have not yet seen the most recent hat/wig contributions. There is some nifty vintage stuff in there you may just love from my friends hoarder grandmother's family at collection! Zara heaven!
DeleteCompletely and utterly gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThankyou for the lovely comments that you left on my blog. I couldn't find your email address to reply directly.
I hope you have it now Ms Curly. THe problem will be referred to my beautiful blog guru.
DeleteGreat hair, I have been meaning to send you a message since your blog on hospital art. I was very amused by your art therapy entry. So much so I carted my camera off to work to show you the art therapy I am surrounded by every day. Not sure how to attach the photos hence the delay in sending you this message.
ReplyDeleteFunny story, bizzarely when I was taking photos of our lovely adornments I managed to wipe approx 500 other photos. Thats not bizarre that's just the type of thing I do. No the bizarre thing is that the only photos that remained were, and I kid you not. were of a trip to Goma ( one of you favourite spots)one of which Greta was standing in front of a rainbow. There were only 4 photos of my walk in Tasmania left and these were of a rock formation referred to as "Boobs" And the others were of toes and hospital art. I will email the photos including the "Boobs"
Did I tell you " Great Hair"
It's a sign again! We need to drink more tea, girl Wednesday! Last year I lost months of photos and that was when I decided to start the blog so there would always be a record for the kids somewhere of something. x
DeleteLove that last smiley pic. You look lovely Annie, however much hair you do or don't have. You are one of those people whose personality just shines through.
ReplyDeleteI have a friend who had straight pale blond hair before her chemo, it's grown back darker and curly ... who knows what you might get to play with hair wise in the months ahead.
I really don't mind the hair loss part. Strangely that was never an issue for me. I'm kind of curious!
DeleteLove the idea of weekly haircuts to get the kids used to it all. (and yourself) I had never seen a picture of you though and I like what I see! Can I say that out in the open? ;-)
ReplyDeleteI figure this is no time to be precious about looks right!?
DeleteI love your new haircut! Don't delete those lovely profile photos. Or your children.
ReplyDeletexo
Okay I won't delete them but i may try volume control.
DeleteGreat haircut! I love that your kids take profile driving pictures of you - that's very sweet.
ReplyDeleteThey just do it so they can play with the phone. There are also photos on there of themselves or the dashboard or their feet. You know the ones.
DeleteYou know I have been growing mine because everything grows so fast here, but lately I have been looking at photos of myself with the shaved hair Bruce "accidentally" gave me after Riley was born and I am thinking of returning to it. Long hair is so hot and I am no good at the doo!
ReplyDeleteWould you like me to shave my head to support you when you are over? Yours always looks good short!
DeleteObviously mine doesn't look too good long, as my mother-in-law pointed out during her recent visit. I'll be your shave buddy.
DeleteThe only thing that rivals the beauty of the hair is the beauty revealed by its diminishing absence.
ReplyDeleteJust to digress to the hospital art (sorry, I'm playing catch up). Although the lucky angel has to be my favourite, I'm totally transfixed by Mrs Vermeer. OMG the woman is texting whilst listening to music via a Bluetooth. She fully rocks!
Not sure what to say other than I really appreciate and admire your outlook that you're interested in seeing what you look like with no hair. I love people that are "interested."
ReplyDeleteLove the giddy pigtail pic! And the marvelous new do! See you this afternoon. Did you remember?
ReplyDeleteYou will look wonderful. You do look wonderful. Actually, you are pretty wonderful! As others have said, who you are shines through. You've had long, you've had short, you'll have none but you will always be Annie, so it doesn't really matter quite how your head is adorned.
ReplyDeleteAxxx
What a brilliant idea to get different haircuts over the next few weeks! You look lovely with shorter hair, and you have such a pretty face, it will look good whatever!
ReplyDeleteLove this 'do' - I must say the bob really, really suits you! New 'do' posts are a fabulous follicular idea!
ReplyDeleteWow! This blog looks just like my old one! It's on a entirely different subject but it has pretty much the same layout and design. Outstanding choice of colors!

Hi! Do you know if they make any plugins to protect against hackers?
ReplyDeleteI'm kinda paranoid about losing everything I've worked hard on.
Any suggestions?
