My hair all fell out…..all but one lone strand. It started growing back in the middle of Febrary, 2007. Today I thought was a good time to get a haircut even though I want it to grow longer, I thought I needed a trim as my hair it out of control. I am still wearing a wig but it is becoming  increasingly uncomfortable with this mop of curly hair underneath. I find a beauty shop that is open and low and behold get a male hairdresser. Oh great, just want I don’t want is a man. I have to take off my wig and explain my situation and wasn’t looking forward to revealing this mop of hair to a man! It took all the courage I could muster up to tell him I lost all my hair and now I have this curly mop that is totally uncontrollable and could he please do something with it. This man was an angel in disguise! He tells me how he loves curly hair (too bad I don’t, I tell him) and he goes on to tell me that the chemo and radiation have done a number on my body and to be patient and drink lots of water and let my hair continue to grow out and to embrace the curls I have and enjoy my new look! He even goes so far to tell me my own hair looks better than the wig. It will take some more thinking about this for me to go out in public as “Curly  Sue” as he lovingly called me! He then proceeds to give me a head massage and put some product on my hair that makes it shiny and he redistributes my curls and says to come back in  December and he will give me some style as it still needs to grow out more. I try to pay him and he says ”just give me a hug” and  come see me in December. I leave the shop in tears at his kindness. Random acts of  kindness from people I don’t know continue to come into my path. So, I am going to try to embrace my new short curly look and forego the wig, at least for today until I can get used to the look.  The hardest thing about breast cancer is wanting to look like yourself again. The lesson I learned from this kind man today, is that I may never look the same as before, but I am alive and that is the important thing!  God bless you kind angel. I will see you in December.
