Hairstylist cut my bangs this last time - freaked me out a bit!  That was my 4th haircut but first time she touched the top - gulp. 

I colored it dk reddish brown last night - Joe calls it my "winter coat" :-)

I used to go redder for winter too....looks nice and rich. I think you have a good stylist!

I haven't had mine cut yet - it is so super curly that it seems to be growing up rather than down. i am just letting it grow out as much as I can. I still startle myself sometimes when i catch my relection - I still "picture" myself with longer, straighter hair! Not knocking it though - just happy to look vaguely normal again!

Love it-you look beautiful!! Thanks for sharing and giving us something to look forward to. 

I can't wait to be there.  I'm still doing Taxol, but have fuzzy dark hair growing back .........  I was told it would be gray and it may very well look gray as it gets longer, but right now it's very dark......

Jenn3 - I was diagnosed right around the same time as you a year earlier so by next thanksgiving you will be looking for hair ties!

Kerry and Mary(Apple) - It feels good to go naked and unnoticed right!?

i thinks it's amazing how good people look in short hair. i like seeing the bone and head structure unconcealed by the drapery of long hair.

Thanks for posting the pics Mary.  I especially love the bangs.  So pretty & feminine.  I only have about an inch of hair but full head coverage. 

Does anyone have any hair growing tips?  I am taking biotin and selenium and started nourishing my scalp with my aloe vera plant.  Yeah, I am impatient.  Never did get over losing my long locks. I was around 14 the last time I had short hair.  So, I don't have a clue what to do with short hair.  

Kerry- I still get startled when I see my reflection too.  Still expect to see a reflection of what I used to look like.

Mary - I remember you posting that photo of you in March, and thinking you had so much hair! I was of course bald as a coot at the time. Its all relative, right.

My husband actually loves being able to see my shouldline and my jaw line. he says if I do grow it long again i have to remember to wear it up a lot. When i do look at old photos hair does hide a lot.

I love your hair it looks great, I have kept my short since it grew back in. Sometimes people say don't worry it will grow back and I say, it is and has grown back, I just keep getting it cut. Funny how much it bugs you after it grows in lol.

I like my short hair, I like it to look more edgy than cute.  My younger daughter and father both do not like the color but everyone else seems to!  I think I would like it to be a bob but we will see....
