    reading through this I had a ton of thougts:

    * it is just hair..it grows back (on most!) my G-ma had cancer and it was the best gift ever when she received a "natural" wig

    * it is just hair...if you are healthy it will grow back...be thankful you have the opportunity to grow it back

    * what makes long hair girly anymore?

    * why bother having long hair when you pull it back all the time?

    * it is just hair...it will grow back.

    * if you have a stylist you speak so highly of...why worry?

    I just cut mine off for Locks of Love...will post some pics when I finally get a pic of my new short hair!

    I am glad you came to peace with the cutting...and remember the time it takes to grow it back is fractions of the happiness it will bring someone!!!!
    I am a nobody; nobody is perfect, and therefore I am perfect.

    DeAnna... cut it... and get a spiffy new style that will make you feel and look years younger. You will really enjoy having a LIGHT head and not having headaches from pony tails.

    I know it's very easy as women to get attached to our hair and long hair at that.

    I think you will be surprised at how much better you will look with an actual style for your hair.

    Good luck and post up pictures after you get it done!

    I've just spent the past 18 months growing my hair long for my wedding in April, in January this year I was diagnosed with breast cancer and started chemotherapy in March. a week before my wedding I had to cut the last wisps of my hair off (I had a wicked comb over going on ) That was probably the hardest emotionally thing that I did .... but I got a cool wig and my hair will grow back

    Anyway the point of my post was that as someone who has benefited from different cancer charities, I really appreciate peoples generousity doing things like that, so I say go for it !!! It'll cool to have different style and it will grow back quicker than you think......

    Mind you as a post scripe to this message, anyone got a really good ideas how to keep my bald head warm under my bike hat ??? it's going into winter here and I'm trying to cycle between chemo session, but I get so cold !

    Oh MillieNZ (((((HUGS)))))

    by comparison of what you have/are going thru, it makes me embarrased to think that getting my hair cut constitutes as a 'stressful' issue!!


    On the note of something to wear on your head....I just bought a few 'caps' today at http://www.dowrap.com/ they have free shipping...AND if you use coupon code "IPMBA " You get an ADDITIONAL 25% off the head wraps!!!

    they have mosture wicking ones for hot days....and winter ones for colder days. and some are pretty stylish!!!

    the Wickie wear are made specifically for women, so they are a bit smaller for a better fit!!!

    D --- You have a pretty face, which will make a short style look wonderful on you! If I had the face for it, I would cut mine short.
