I know a few people who shave their heads intentionally, and a few who wish they had the guts to do so (myself included), but I also know someone who has lost her hair quite unintentionally because of breast cancer, and has still managed to stay positive about it.

As she says:

... I have found that being 'hairless' has many advantages!
1. I get to wear hats all the time, it is so cool.
2. The amount of time saved getting showered and dressed is dramatic.
3. A definite savings on shampoo, conditioner, not to mention electricity for blow-drying & curling.
4. Never any 'bad-hair days'!
5. It's much cooler, and when I do get too hot, I just stick my head under a faucet to cool off.
All in all, I could really get used to the ease and comfort!

And she's leaving this week on a cruise to Alaska to celebrate her wedding anniversary. She is truly a wonder.
