Among Friends

[GoneButNotForgotten]

A few weeks ago I got a very bad haircut and was totally kerfuffled about what to do--after all, you can't pick the hair up off the floor and re-attach it.

So I went back to the gal who did the deed (in 10+ years, this is the first time this has happened) and talked over what to do about it. As a result, I'm bald; most of my hair is gone. I look AWFUL.

In addition to having very little hair, my head is cold. I have a small melon -- I was often called "pin head" when I was a kid. Most of the hair on my neck and around my ears is gone.

Fortunately I have lots of hair and it grows very fast. In a few weeks I'll look like a female human being again.

@GoneButNotForgotten    So, have you found a new stylist?

Yes, it's hair and it grows. It's hard to imagine how that happened!   In the meantime, get a cute bandana to wear when you need it.  There are a couple different ways to wear them.  

[GoneButNotForgotten]

Kachina, I'm undecided. I want to let it grow out (obviously) and I'll be monitoring how she handles it. It'll take a while and I'll be watching closely to see how this turns out.

True! The American Cancer Society has some instructions on their website!

[Another new name Sue]

@KingstonsMom Yes, and etsy has some nice ones, not "cowboy," but tie dye and other pretty colors, not red and blue like the cowboy ones.  I got some during the pandemic to hide my horrible hair and still wear them especially on cold morning walks.  Oh, I just remembered, I first got a couple to wear as masks back when masks were unavailable.  Bad memory for sure!

I hear ya'! When my current illness first started, we thought it was cancer somewhere and I had already looked at the Cancer Society's website for instructions, LOL!

Thank you to the the universe!

When I first read your story, I thought it was a,joke. I have never known a person who would go back to the scene of an accident just to make sure it happened. How bad was the haircut that you needed to go bald?? I am sorry but this makes no sense. Didn't you realize before you left the salon the haircut was a disaster. The stylist thought nothing about letting you walk out in public with this haircut. I would have been livid and never ever gone back. I would have called and wanted a refund.

@KingstonsMom, A big hello to you!  I think of you so often and hope you are doing well.  Please let us know when you have a chance.  Take care!

Hats and scarves until it grows back. In the interim, look for a new hairstylist. It would.be ridiculous to go back to someone who mistook you for a sheep that needed sheering.
