OK I'm gonna sound like a total nut, but it fills damn good to take a cool shower in 90 degree weather without a hair on my body. It fills good to be able to come home and take off my hair. It feels good not to have to shave, and my eyebrows can be whatever shape or color I want them to be, lol. But seriously, I know that loosing hair is MUCH, MUCH, more important to some than others, I've had short hair, long hair, and somewhere in between throughout different periods in my life, and I can't say that loosing my hair was the end all for me. If you are one of the many that worked so hard on a healthy full head of hair only to loose in in almost one fail swoop to BC, I am truly sorry. I pray that all of us can suck, squeeze, ring, and stomp every positive thing we can out of this life changing thing that has happened to us. So, I am looking forward to a brand new, totally natural, thick, full head of hair. Until then, take lots of nice long showers and baths and appreciate how good the water fills rolling down your skin.

By the way, if you are so brave as to go out without your wig or scarf, I say go for it, what a huge lesson in self confidence. If you can hold your bald head high and not give a cats claw about what everyone is thinking about you, imagine the amount of confidence you'll have in your everyday get up, if that happens to be something other than bald.
