First Time Cutting My Hair All The Way

A MyLymphomaTeam Member asked a question 💭
Puerto Vallarta, México

I’m getting tired of seeing my hair all over the floor.
If I use the shaving machine wouldn’t the small little hairs left still be falling?
Or would it be better to go completely 👩🏽‍🦲?

I couldn't take all the hair everywhere so I finally did it shaved bald( well I still have little tiny hairs) best decision I ever made my head is cooler and I don't spend a lot of time washing it and not much shampoo either,, 😂 best wishes with ur decision.
PS sometimes I leave the house without my hat cuz I forget I'm bald

Juadgi, I did not lose all hair. It thinned out but not bad.
I did get head wraps and talked to my hsir dresser. We had planned on her shaving my head but didn't have to.

So, I was going to shave completely off

Many prayers 🙏🙏🙏🙏

They told me I would lose all my hair it was waist long, so we braided it and my husband cut 2 long braids. I didn’t lose 1 hair off my head throughout the entire treatment and I didn’t do the ice or anything different. Well my hair is back down to my waist and I’ll never cut it again. So far cancer free for 4 years!
