I shaved my head today!

I cannot believe I got up the nerve to do it, but I just shaved my head and I am feeling a lot better about my entire hair loss situation.  Last night Andie and I gently pulled out quite a bit of hair and I thought I would just let the rest fall out naturally.  However, when I woke up this morning more hair had fallen out in the night and I had huge bald spots mixed with wisps.  Seriously the most strange and unattractive combination you can imagine.  I put a hat on, but just could not get over how terrible it looked.  Finally, I just decided it should all come off and I just got out our electric clippers and started shaving.  I am actually glad no one was here with me because it took quite a few times going back and forth to get it even and it got a lot worse before it got better.  Not to say that bald is a look I think anyone should see on me, but it just made me feel a lot better.  Plus, it was just a perk to do something that I would normally never do.


This is Adam - I love this picture and I asked Kristy if I could post it.  I am amazed how beautiful  Kristy looks.

    It's a very brave thing you're doing Kristy. Brave and powerful message to start where you are, use what you have and do what you can. So proud of you.

    Dave's initial, first words out of his mouth upon seeing this picture: "that's a good looking bald woman!" We all heartily agree! Go Kristy!!!!!

    You can try on all the hats in the store and not get head lice! You really do look beautiful, Kristy. I mean it.
