My Hair Cut

Okay, it's not really a cut, but a trim. I had my mom cut a couple of inches off the ends of my hair yesterday when she was visiting. I haven't had it cut or even trimmed up in more than 2 years. At first I just didn't want to cut any length off. I was very happy to have my hair long after not having hair. But for the last few months, I've known that it needed trimmed up; the ends were really starting to be uneven and ragged. Then I kept thinking how busy I was and that I didn't have time.

The truth is, I just couldn't bear to cut my hair even though it was looking bad. I guess being bald for so long during chemo really affected my thoughts about my hair. (I'm just happy to have some no matter how bad it looks!) Yes, my hair is different today than before cancer. It used to be very thick and now it isn't. It came back very curly, but now the curl is gone and it just has a lot of body, which is similar to before cancer.

I must admit that it looks much better now. I should have had it trimmed a long time ago.
