Not So Happy List

#67 - Don't like Jealousy

By Tuesday I had had 5 days to get used to having no hair.  But I just wasn't able to make myself walk out the door in this wig.  In fact, I was getting downright jealous of my decorated wig stand, Betty-Lou.  She was rockin' the wig, so much better than me!

I couldn't get it on right.  It was too poofy. It felt like it was going to blow off. And I felt like a Dallas Housewife.  Except maybe the wig needed more volume to pull that off.
So after I returned from chemo yesterday, I called Anita, at Salon Prive and she'd had a cancelation. She was the recommended stylist who can work wig miracles when it's on your head. So, I tossed that wig on   and put on big sunglasses to hide. I told Don to wish me luck that I didn't walk in, to meet a stylist with big poofy Texas hair.

Whew!

Anita's purple hair would have worried some, but I loved it.  She was confident and swift as she thinned and trimmed. (I'd been told she worked like Edward Scissorhands!) She didn't take too much off... because it obviously won't  grow back. But I can go for another trim later, if I want.

Mostly I loved her relaxed, yet no nonsense approach. She loved seeing the photos on my cell, of Don cutting my hair... as well as my snazzy wig stand photo. 
My expression looks goofy, but I felt more at home in my wig, when we finished.  I had a few bangs, that will be a comfort when/if I lose eyebrows and lashes.  She even trimmed up my half wig that goes under hats.  And best of all, I can return as my hair starts to grow back. Anita is not just a wig stylist, most of her clients have hair. She also has lots of tricks for helping with new hair growth and finding flattering short hair cuts that will work.  Whew, one more thing to check off my list!

Thanks, Christy. Strong... much of the time. But I have my moments! You know you've lost a little, when you're jealous of your wig stand! LOL

Thanks, Lorrie. Of course now I'm thinking I should have gone for some purple hair! :)

    Cancer - Covid

    I started this complaining list/blog, in May 2016. I posted 200 gripes about my breast cancer and then I was done.

    On March 17, 2020, I started venting all over again, when another disease (starting with a C) interfered with my life. Only this time, it was affecting more than me.

    ​Coronavirus and Cancer! Both are evil, but neither can totally get me down... if I vent! I hope with Covid, I run out of complaints before 200!
