My Hair History of Cancer - in Reverse!

 Okay, these pictures posted the opposite of what I wanted so I will go from the present backwards to last spring. This first picture is my hair now. It is about 2 inches all over and starting to curl once again. This is how I will wear my hair if and when I go crazy and can't remember how to do things at the Alzheimer's home.
 Here is a picture of the eyelashes I had added to my short sparse lashes that are starting to grow back. They really look real since I had her put "short" ones to the ones that have started to grow back. You can also see that my eyebrows are starting to grow back. The false lashes are glued to my regular ones and should last 4-6 weeks. They were a Christmas present but I had to wait until I had more lashes to get the added. It is fun but I don't think I would do it if it hadn't been a gift - too expensive for someone who only works around the house and goes to the gym.
 Here is my hair growth the first week of January. It was still too short to style. It just laid flat and rather style less. At least now I can put product in my hair and try to punk it up a bit. Because my hair is curly it  just looks curly and not punky.
 Here is my hair as I was losing it. There is a bit of fuzz all around but most of it was totally gone a few weeks after this and I just ran around bald since it was summer and so hot.
 Here was my "stylish" (?) head ensemble for church. I was uncomfortable with a bare head since I couldn't figure out where to stop with face makeup when there was no hairline.  I didn't like the free wigs and couldn't see paying a lot for a wig I would only wear a couple times a couple for a few months.
Here was my hair after getting it cut for Beth's wedding and before the chemo began. I think I may stay with a short do as my hair grows back. But who knows I always get bored.
