Wednesday 12th January
So I have had very, very short, sparsely populated hair for a couple of weeks now. As I said previously Hannah had shaved off what was left of my hair using a number 3, so it is about half an inch long. This means that what now falls out is less noticeable and hopefully I won't have to shave it all off, but we shall see.
From my point of view nothing has changed. My head doesn't feel any different really. Occasionally I feel a little draughty around the back of my neck but that's about it. I am even getting used to seeing my altered reflection in the mirror.
Advantages of having no hair:
I never have a bad hair day.
The well know messy bed hair gorilla has stopped visiting.
It takes nano-seconds to dry my "hair".
I take even less time in the shower.
Wearing hats does not result in "hat hair".
Reduction in the amount of shampoo and conditioner used, obviously.
Disadvantages of having no hair:
None that I can think of, currently.
However, I am reliably informed by my brother (whom I now resemble) that banging your head hurts a lot more without the padding of hair and obviously sun burn is a risk, although not in the weather we're having at the moment!
So apart from wearing a woolly hat to keep my head warm when I go out I do not wear scarves, wigs or anything else to cover up my baldness.
Thus I have come to the conclusion that I possibly the least vain person I know as I am supremely unbothered by my current lack of hair. This may be because I am fairly certain that this is a temporary state of affairs. Or perhaps I am the vainest person I know as the thought of wearing a wig just fills me with despair.
Either way I came to the conclusion very quickly that when I am out and about wearing a woolly hat is easier as when my head gets too hot (which it does quite quickly, especially when entering overheated shops) taking off my hat is slightly less startling to those around me that whipping off a wig, which is infinitely more uncomfortable and hotter than my woolly hat.
