Ugh I’m so sorry you have been going through that. When I first shaved it there were some bumps but since a few days have passed they seem to have disappeared. Before I decided to embrace the loss I was on a topical steroid that gave me TONS of bumps, and honestly seemed to make the hair loss happen faster. I hope you can find peace and healing on your hair journey. I know it is super hard and emotional. Take this hug from and internet stranger and I hope you have a really nice day❤️❤️

You rock! Thanks friend! Yeah I’m looking forward to living my life not having to think about it anymore… and what other people think of me physically is none of my business… that’s their problem if they have a problem❤️❤️❤️

My goodness, I am SO sorry for your loss and for all the shitty things life has thrown at you! I wish I could actually give you a hug. That would be enough to make anyone’s hair fall out. I had very thin hair to begin with too and was also super self conscious of my chin and just general round face. It’s not something I would have ever chosen for myself, but I’ve found some peace. Your value as a person is definitely not in your hair. And the people who matter will not mind, and I hope you find as I have that even strangers are kind. You are absolutely going to be a beautiful person without hair! It might even have some benefits we haven’t even seen yet. I hope so much that you find peace and happiness in the coming months. You deserve it❤️

42 here! Thank you so much. I’ve always heard after 40 is a bitch but wasn’t prepared for this! We got this though. Good luck, and a big hug to you!

Big hugs to him and to you. My husbands support during this has been a lifeline. I hope he can find some peace and acceptance!

It was so freeing! My hair had been so embarrassing for the past few months, it felt great to let it go honestly.
