My First Haircut

Here we are, eleven months after my last chemo session, and I actually had a haircut! I took this picture before I had it cut

2/13/2012

so you could 1) see that it really does look like a dandelion (I don't know why it sticks up like that when I dry it!) and 2) see that my poor hairdresser didn't have much to work with. She really cut off very little and some of the ends are still fried but she'll get to those next time. You can also see that my hair is not curly or thick like they promise it will be after chemo so I guess everybody reacts differently.

This is what it looks like now, after the haircut and after I curled it.

And here it is two weeks later, on my normal day to take a picture for this blog. It looks longer to me even between these last two.

eleven months after last chemo session

I'm still trying to get the color right. I can't figure out what's so hard about getting that color but she has not been able to nail it yet. Summer says I should give up and go somewhere else...
