Description: On Dec 21, 2021 I was diagnosed with breast cancer & began chemotherapy. This is my hair loss journey (from 20 inches long to fully bald).

The hardest words I've heard lately have been "you have breast cancer" but this was followed closely by "you will lose your hair." For as long as I can remember I have had long, healthy hair, and as I learned on this hair loss journey... this was a big part of my identity. But what scared me more about losing all my hair to chemotherapy was that once I was bald I would be easily identified as a cancer patient. Knowing that anyone could quickly see what I was going through and feel 'sorry for me' or 'sad for me' scared me even more. This story begins with cutting 16 inches off my hair to hopefully make a wig from my own hair. I then share a beautiful wig we've gotten to help me through those moments where I just want to feel a little 'normal' again. And last I share the troubling moments of hair shedding to the moment when we decide to shave my head. A big thanks to Follea for making beautiful wigs that look and feel just like human hair. danielalain.com/collections/wigs 0:00 Intro 0:49 Why Hair Loss Scares Me 2:22 Let's Get a Bob! 3:01 Making a Wig from My Own Hair 4:08 Cold Cap Therapy 5:15 Eamon does the 1st cut! 6:00 The Big Reveal! 6:34 Unboxing my NEW Wig!! 11:51 The Hair Shedding Begins... 13:17 Losing Hair in the Shower 😞 18:11 Weird Food Cravings 19:50 WE SHAVE MY HEAD! 24:10 How I'm Feeling 27:41 My Mole Removal 30:12 Thanks for a Million!! 31:24 NOW I'm REALLY bald #breastcancer #hairloss #breastcancersurvivor
