Making the most of it

My hair has always been my crowning glory.  As a child I had white blonde tight curls, that developed into long wavy blonde hair.  I have always loved my long hair: I once had a very short bob cut when I was 15, it was so awful!  I won't inflict a photo of it on you, but to give you an idea my hair is so thick that my head ended up resembling a mushroom.  So ever since then I have been growing it as long as I can; I've always imagined that I will be one of those old women with long white hair.  The most drastic thing I have ever done was to go dark and have a bold fringe cut; but now it has become almost like my trade mark.  So as you can imagine when I was told I had cancer one of my first thoughts was what will happen to my hair?

My oncologist has assured me that I have a low chance of loosing all of my hair, but I may well loose some.  Luckily I have a lot of hair so I am hoping that any hair loss won't be too noticable.  To be honest I haven't actually noticed much hair loss yet; I have been removing the hair out of my brush everyday so I can keep an eye on any changes.  But in the meantime I am going to make the most of my ample hair; I remember when I was at school I would make sure that I had my hair in a different style everyday.  So I am going to try and do this again!  This weekend I managed to do a fish tail plait and I bought a large bun ring so I am going to experiment with that this week!  Wish me luck!

Not a bad attempt at a fish tail plait if I do say so myself!
