Well, I
did it. Here's the pictures. Let me know what you think. I am still getting
used to it. It's kind of a pixie cut, and looks different in "real
life". I have pushed the bangs off my head, and I like the look
better.
Mid-cut. LOTS of hair on the floor.
Mid-styling. That's Autumn, my hair stylist. She was a good choice.
I had made several phone calls to try to find a good person. Fate stuck with
me. Autumn has had two rounds of chemo herself, and has been through the hair
loss. On top of that, she is honest and forthcoming, and told me what would
look good, what wouldn't, and helped me get through.
I was fine with the cut until she started cutting the top-front portion of my hair. Until then, it was okay. Once that part happened, I lost it. I got very emotional. I think at that point, it hit me that I HAD to do this. I wasn't doing it because I wanted a new look or was bored with my hair. I was making this choice as a way to control the inevitable. Very emotional.
Autumn styling my hair. This was before I had a chance to see it. She cut the hair and styled it without allowing me to see the results until the end. It was kind of fun, and scary.
This is the pile of hair that was on the floor after the cut. Wow.
So, there you go. As I said,
I am still getting used to it. It's a cute look - definitely something I didn't
think I would be able to pull off. We'll see what happens today when I try to
style it myself. I don't think I care for the bangs - I feel better when I push
them off my face. I am not a BANG kind of person. And, I think it looks cuter
that way.
Okay, what do you
think.....be nice....

Oh,
it looks awesome!! Actually, it looks very much like the cut you got after you
had Julia (what you had at my wedding), remember?? You lopped it all off
then... I had forgotten until I saw these pictures. And how great that you
found someone who's been through it all do your hair! She did a great job -
she's definitely a keeper!!

Later:
If you remember, I had my toes done before I went in for surgery.
Here's the picture, finally. Sorry it took so long.
So, I
didn't mean for them to look like watermelons, but that's what happened. Oh
well - it's still fun!
