Not too bad. 
Ever since I learned that I was going to have chemo and I would most likely lose my hair, I’ve tried to act all nonchalant, like it didn’t matter to me one way or the other. To be honest, before it started happening, I really did think I didn’t care. On Tuesday though big huge chunks of hair started coming off. I’d run my fingers through and my hand would come away with what looked to be enough hair to make a doll wig or something, and each time would be just as shocking to me as the last. It was more upsetting than I anticipated. I’ve always said that as soon as it started falling out I would just shave it off, but Tuesday night I couldn’t bring myself to do it. So I gave Jodi scissors and told her to chop it all off. We had a blast knowing that it was all going to go anyway and in the end I think it turned out pretty cute. It’s still falling out like crazy and my new sassy doo isn’t going to last past the weekend I’m pretty sure. But it’s a lot less shocking than pulling LONG wads of hair out of my head. It’s nice to know that when it starts to grow back It won’t look too bad short but don’t give up your day job Jodi!
She's a paralegal not a beautician!
A small portion of the hair that was EVERYWHERE!!
She may be a paralegal and not a beautician, but you are still a beaut!
You are a lovely pretty gal who’s looks can easily withstand a well meaning friends attempt at another career.
Be well, Angela!

Actually, I like it short. After Chemo, it will probally grow back in curly. That is what usually happens. Hang in there!

I think it looks cute! And just think, you can try out some new styles if you choose to do a wig. My Mom just wore scarves and caps as the wigs itched her head!

I think the hair is definitely a MAJOR “difficulty”. Now when it comes back, I want to see that fantastic, crazy Flock-of-Seagulls hairstyle you had back in the 80′s with a PURPLE cellophane!!
I LOVED THAT!!
I loved the picture you sent me the night you did it, you GO GIRL!
