RE: OT: Haircut, why am I so chicken...(I did it)
RNY - August 13, 2010
LBL - October 29, 2012
a total of 271 lbs lost!!
I just had my hair highlighted last week -- since highlighting adds a little bit of body, and after a second 8-month bout of hair loss last year (before the hair I lost after my RNY had gotten more than a couple of inches long) I definitely need some extra body -- and my stylist said that to make it look fuller we would have to take another 2 inches off just to get it all to the level that the 4-year post-op regrowth is at! It just barely touches my shoulders right now, and I do NOT have a face that looks good with short hair... my features are too masculine... so I need the softness of longer hair. So I guess I will just continue to do the best I can until the first round of regrowth gets 2 inches longer... and, hopefully, once the second round of regrowth gets long again, I will be back to my "normal" head of hair... but I never expected that it would take six years to get my pre-op hair back! (No, we still don't knowthe cause of the hair loss last year.)
Congrats on finding the courage that I don't have!
