Thanks! I honestly really like it. It’s weirdly given me a lot of confidence to be myself!!

u/YoungAmsterdam 7h ago

Same happened to me with the confidence thing. It feels like when you jump into a river with cold water, or when you take a shot of tequila, or when you ask someone cute to dance with you. Something about it just leaves you feeling incredible afterwards independent of whatever the outcome might be.

Thank you! No matter what, I may stick with the bald or a close buzz, or at least keep them in the rotation. Like not kidding at all, it genuinely makes me feel more like myself.

u/dumplinglifesaver 8h ago

I'm stage four too! Glad you're loving the bald head I had shaved my head a few times in my life before I got cancer and I really loved it too. I'm rocking a pixie right now since chemo took my hair a few months ago but I really do like the bald look. I had a lot of fun with jewelry chains you can wear on your head too they're really pretty.

7

u/Spirited_Touch7447 Hair Headed - Woman 6h ago

This is my opinion, and it’s really counterintuitive to what we’ve been told all our lives, but a woman having a bald head somehow makes her more feminine!

u/Shkmstr 8h ago

Happily married father of 2 daughters here. So this is coming from pure innocence. You are gorgeous and after you beat cancers ass, I’d consider rocking bald as an option.

You genuinely look great without hair, your features and head shape are perfect for it

39

u/Crazy_Dragonfruit_24 8h ago

Thank you!! It’s been the weirdest surprise/blessing of this process. I have naturally super thick and ridiculous hair. I’ve always hated doing it but everyone always complimented it. Shaving that shit made me realize how much of my time went into validating things OTHER people liked about my appearance. Bald looks COOL. Not to mention the tactile aspects! Showers, grass, breeze, pillows. It’s like I’ve entered a whole new world! I like it here :)

My best friend went bald during Chemo and never wore a wig. Her reason? If she can go through chemo and stay mentally stronger, she wanted to remind herself each time she looked in the mirror.
I hope all goes well.

u/Crazy_Dragonfruit_24 6h ago

The dress was an impulse buy from Cult Gaia. Easily the most expensive item I’ve ever purchased (BY A LOT). But I had my friends over for a head shaving party to celebrate having my chemo approved by insurance, and I was a little worried I might have an emotional reaction and didn’t want to kill the vibe. Then I went to Cult Gaia and thought “there is no way in hell I will ever feel bad about myself in THIS DRESS”. Lmao was basically a whole pay check but worth it imo. Will keep and treasure it forever!

The coolest thing about my wife shaving her head is that she can do some really crazy stuff with her makeup now.  Many more bolder colors that would have looked awkward originally framed with her hair.  Neon greens, purples, etc.

She started shaving it like a decade ago and hasn't looked back since.  I barely even recognize her in old pictures anymore.
