The whole hair loss thing has taken new twist for me. And yes, that was the hardest part. But, then I came to realize how easy it is to get ready in the morning. No drying, no styling, throw on the scarf or wig and off I go. My hair was medium length so it was a hassle to dry every day. I am enjoying the freedom from this chore.

I mentioned to my husband that I didn't know what to do in the shower. No hair to wash, legs to shave, so I just stand there until it seems like time to get out. He suggested I take the dishes in with me to give me something to do!

Laurie, what a great idea you had by saving some of your hair and using it as bangs under a hat. I never would have thought about doing that. You can learn so much from this forum and not just about research but also great tips. Thank you.
