Good Hair Day

I’ve been telling Donna she looks great with the hair she has for a couple weeks now. The last time we went in for haircuts, when the stylist was evening her hair out, she told her that she looked great and should go for it. But her hair was still shorter than it was when we cut it all off back in May and she wasn’t feeling comfortable with it yet. I thought for sure she was going to keep it covered up until it was as long as before, which would be still another couple months, but today, out of the blue, Donna decided to go sans bandanna/scarf/headdress.

She got one or two double takes, a lot of compliments and even a couple hugs. But mostly she got a lot of people wanting to feel her hair. It is different than before that’s for sure, it is softer, a little darker, a lot more gray and way more curly. People say the tight curls are temporary and eventually your hair returns to its pre-chemo shape, I’ll let you know…
