(4) Hair loss, the positives ....

1 minute read time.

.... always look for the positives!!

It seems I've taught my children well. When my long, thick and curly (some would say unruly) dark brown hair started parting company with my head we took control. Can you imagine the twinkle in the eyes of a pair of primary age children being told they can cut Mum's hair? Typical children they soon got bored but then I did say it was thick and it was hard work! Mr Bad Fairy came to the rescue when it was suitably shorn with his hair clippers and razor. Definitely not a job for children if I wanted to keep my eyebrows for as long as possible! So now for the positive side of having no hair ....

1. Save on hair products.

2. No need to unblock the shower every day.

3. Save on hair dye. Contribution courtesy of 7 year old Miss Bad Fairy. This one made me realise that over the years I must have spent over £1500 colouring my hair!! (I haven't told Mr Bad Fairy that yet!!)

3. No need to drag a nit comb through it on a regular basis. Kindly thought of by 8 year old Master Bad Fairy. I did point out that if he and his sister would refrain from rubbing heads with their school friends I wouldn't need to own a nit comb never mind use it!!

4. I would now have an understanding of Mr Bad Fairy's life. This being the latest contribution from Mr Bad Fairy after I moaned about how painful it was being hailed on with a bald head!

So there are positives afterall.  ;-)

    Marlyn, number 6 is added! I wonder how many hair positives we can collect?! Sounds like a challenge!!

    Daffie, I feel quite touched to think that my ramblings have raised a much needed smile, thank you and I wish you many more smiles.

    A friend of mine was never seen in public (or the pub because she's the landlady) with out one of her many wigs during her chemo.

    So early one morning they were woken by the sound of the window cleaners ladder hitting the wall outside. Quick as a flash up jumped her husband, starkers, dashed to the window and whipped the curtains shut just in time.

    She was touched by his thoughtfulness and compassion for her feelings and as she leaned over to say thank you and give him a little kiss he muttered the immortal words

    "He might have thought I was in bed with another man"

    I used these ones to help cheer up my mum:

    number 9: never have to wax again

    number 10: save money on razors and shaving cream

    number 11: won't have to get electrolysis for facial whiskers

    Hope you're all staying positive, and keep looking for more up sides :) xxx
