Rock your baldy...

"Women's liberation will not be achieved until a woman can become paunchy and bald and still think she's attractive to the opposite sex."


Earl Wilson


Unspeakable Speaks:

Alright listen up, I cried for a total of 11 minutes when I was told that I was going to lose my hair by the oncologist. But after that there was no more crying to do. It is apart of the process people, it will grow back. Honestly, shaving my head was the most liberating thing I did during my treatment. Weekly visits to my barber became the norm, and I sat confidently in his chair looking forward to the finished product, a freshly shaven head. Occasionally, I wore scarves, but as long as the weather was conducive, I wore my head out and loved it. I received more compliments with a bald head than I ever did with long hair.

In some cultures it is believed that having a bald head helps you communicate better with God. Everyone has a different experience with it, but I challenge you to embrace and rock your baldy! Cover your head when you are going to treatment, so that you are protected from any infections or germs but allow the sun to beam down on you and reenergize you from head (literally) to toe. Be free and be aware that there will be people that stare and are uncomfortable with your new look. Let that be their problem and you continue to focus on your total and complete healing. Remember that in order for new life to exist all dead things must be removed. You are not your hair!
