I have always had ridiculously thin, baby fine hair, and knowing that I was likely to lose even more after banding was a little disturbing, but at least I was prepared. When I started to notice that my hair was thinner than normal I decided TO HELL WITH IT!! So here, step by step, is my solution...

First, my "normal" hair...

Then I went to my hairdresser, Nick. For years I have said that I wished I was brave enough to just shave my hair off...

The "After the Clippers" pics...

I have to say, getting rid of my hair is seriously liberating and as strange as it may be, I LOVE IT!!!

But for going out, going to work, church, or anywhere else I need to look decent, I found a really cute wig...

Having full, thick hair feels so strange!!

I guess the reason I wanted to post this is because I have seen countless threads from people who were completely panicked about hair loss, and I just wanted to show that there are solutions. The hair loss wont last forever, and when I get to my goal weight I'll throw the wig in a drawer and let my hair grow again...but for now Im embracing my hair loss and enjoying the fact that whether I go with the buzz look or the wig, doing my hair takes 3 seconds!!

:whoo:

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have had some of those temporary clips before, even had some to match my hair color.. but (and this may be user error), they always look like crap on me.

ya, i'm not talking about the clip ones you find in a beauty supply store. my hairdresser from back home in NY ordered me a pair a few yrs back, and they are the real deal. i mess w/my hair a lot, grow out...cut it all off, and for those evenings i want long hair...they look very real. check with some salons in your area, there are many that are real hair and realistic.
