The Big Shave

Here I am. I decided not to shave it all the way to avoid ingrown hairs and possible nicks and cuts. So my sister in law buzzed it with the #1 guard. Wow, I feel liberated. No longer am I defined by my hair. When people look at me, it's just me now. Nothing to hide behind. Me and my semi round head.  Matthew was a little apprehensive at first, and Peyton said that I looked cute. She then said she wanted me to have long hair again. I just had to reassure them both that my hair will grow back.

When I took off my head covering at home, they both laughed and said, "My eyes! My eyes!" I was told that it came from a Spongebob episode when King Neptune removed his crown to reveal a shiny, bald head. These kids...I'm just glad that they are so resilient. Thank you to my wonderful sis in law for buzzing my hair and styling my human hair wig as well. When I wear Keira (the name my kids gave the wig), I will share pictures. 


Right before the Big Shave

That's not the lighting. It's all my gray hairs!

Faux Hawk

Matthew really wanted me to have a mohawk, but we went with a faux one instead. He was still so happy to see it!

Getting rid of the faux hawk

$5 if you want to rub my head for good luck
