Ditched the Wigs!

I've been wearing wigs and hats since I lost my hair at the beginning of December 2017.  I didn't want to even try getting a real haircut because I refused to wear it short. In my mind, I had another year of wigs (making it a total of 2 and a 1/2 years with wigs). 😫 A sweet friend finally convinced me to let her give me a haircut and add some color.  Laura owns two salons in College Station (Celebrity Spa and Salon) and was the only person I trusted during such a vulnerable time. I knew she would do a great job, but I was convinced I would not venture out in public with short hair, NEVER-EVER!
This girl proved me wrong and 5 hours (and a couple of happy/emotional tears later), I walked out of the salon without a wig or a hat!

It's still very hard for me to feel comfortable with it being this short, but it has been liberating.  It feels so good to begin the rebuilding process!

Tara (hands down one of the biggest players in my support system 💓) and sweet Laura! There are several days/milestones in this journey that I will remember forever and this day is one of them. 💝
