The Haircut: Week 2

Last week I began a weekly ritual: taking a photo of my hair once a week as it grows out after chemotherapy. This way I'll be able to remember what it looks like at different lengths, so I can decide how long I'd like to keep it.

I'm much better at sticking to things if I declare publicly that I'm going to do them. Much like participating in NaNoWriMo pretty much ensures I'll complete a 50,000-word draft of a novel within a month, and starting Gargoyle Girl got me to sort through years of gargoyle and other mysterious photographs, promising to take a weekly photo of my post-cancer hair means I have to do it—even if I've got a bit of Alfalfa hair going on like I do right here.

    And I wish you all the best in your fight, my mom when she was alive had breast cancer and beat it. Be well and never give-up, never. Richard

    I definitely can relate to the saying-things-in-public-means-they're-real concept. Love watching your hair journey (and following your sociological experiment. I ran a similar one with fake eyelashes a few years back)!

    Oh, I'd love to hear more about that eyelashes experiment sometime, Diane!
