Shaving Cream & Razors

OH NO NEVER AGAIN!!!! The first time I shaved my head (July 12th) my husband did it for me with the clippers. I kept telling him closer, closer get as clean as you can he did a really good job. When he was finished he step away from me with a smile on his face I thought he was laughing, immediately panic set in I said "what do I have a funny shaped head" he laughed then and said "nooooo baby, I just like it I think it looks cute" any who, with all that said the very next day you could see growth I told myself I was going to do it myself next time because I cant have him shaving my head every other day. Well the time came and I thought i'd go to CVS get some nair that should be easy well it didn't work quite like I thought it would the hair came out in patches (that did not look to good) i'm thinking I did not leave it on long enough ok try some thing else I decided to use a razor because I was still determined to learn how tho do this myself none the less I lather my head with my husbands shaving cream and proceeded to shave, besides the one nick it came out great .........but LORD please have mercy on my soul I did not know it was going to itch so bad I'm bout to loose mind this is worse than the time i gave myself a bikini wax.......

The Three B's

Well.....I finally took the plunge and started a blog. I'm really not sure how this blogging things works, but i'm sure i'll figure it out. I constantly searched the web for females with alapecia, females with hair lose or balding females never did I have any luck. I just could not believe I was the only female having this problem I could not find a support group anywhere that's when I decided that I would start a blog and maybe other women would find me.

The journey to becoming the bald girl was a long one and some what a hard decision to make. The hair loss started at age 24 with a spot the size of a quarter, and now at 36 the whole crown is completely clean. One doctor called it alapecia and another called it female pattern baldness. all a could picture was a balding old man, well just darn wonderful is what I thought. After 12 years, two hair clubs and many, many wigs I decided to go ahead and shave what was left of my hair. I figured a bald head had to look better than just having hair on the sides and in the back.

I always thought I had a little style so I was not sure how going completely bald would effect my self esteem or my personal style, turns out I like it I still have to get use to it, but for the most part I like it. Complete baldness has given me a new freedom , though I have not found the courage to were it in the street yet, I know I will. It just feels good not covering my hair at home and OMG a bald head as given me new meaning to a HOT SHOWER!!!!!!
