Top 10 Good Things About Loosing Your Hair to Chemo


10.  Showers go much quicker since there is no hair to wash/condition/dry.

9.  Save the earth by not using a blowdryer.

8. Hair doesn't get caught in your necklace.

7. If you are cold, just put a hat or scarf on for instant warmth.  If you are warm, take off the scarf or wig for an instant cooldown.

6. No hair to clean up on the bathroom floor or in the shower drain.

5. No hair in your face.

4.  No hair in your food.

3. End the curiosity of what your scalp looks like.

2. No hair "spiders" from the dryer - ladies know what I'm talking about, the clumps of hair that somehow find each other in the washer/dryer and look like spiders when they fall on the floor.

1.  Save money on shampoo and other hair products.


Just trying to put a little silver lining/ comic relief into a not so fun situation.  The way I see it is that you can either laugh or cry, and well I have done plenty of crying lately so it is time to try laughing.  I would looovveee to have my hair back, or to never have lost it in the first place.  BUT, it will grow back after treatment is done.  For most people the growth rate is about a half inch a month!  Yeah, it grows back but at a glacial pace.
