As some of you are aware I usually hang out in the longer haired challenges as I wanted to grow my hair as long as possible.
But then about 2 months ago a friend of mine was diagnosed with breast cancer. They took both of her breast and still has to undergo aggressive chemo. She was very brave about the whole ordeal and even shaved her head prior to chemo so the hair loss wouldnt be as traumatic. However all of us here know how important hair can be when it comes to self esteem.
Long story short I decided a few things.
A) Not enough black women donate their hair. not every one with cancer wants straight hair. So I though It was important to donate my hair to Pantene's Beautiful Lengths who provides FREE wigs to women and children with cancer. I've done so much to take such good care of my hair that I feel blessed that I can donate it to someone who lost their hair against their will.
B) My friend has been really depressed because she doesnt have hair any more. She's on a long waiting list for a free wig so I decided I would be bald with her. She;s so uncomfortable with it that she hides from the world now. But when I get back to the states we are going places! Bald and beautiful!!! And I dare someone to talk side ways about us to us... They will have a bad day because she wont say something but I sure will!!!
To me, its just hair. It will grow back. But to someone who lost their hair, its so much more.
So here are the pix. Please be nice as I have ZERO make up on and have not had more than 3hrs of sleep per night for the past week lmao
Starting (didnt comb it, I was lazy lol)
I did the first cut!
I'll post a pic with make up later lmao but here is the end result!!!
No one told me I would get cold when I was bald! I didnt know my hair kept me so warm lmao!!

When I sent my ds hair I didn't send a regimen but I did enclose a letter letting them know it was virgin 4a hair that would shrink to 6-7 inches if it got wet but all they would have to do it is blow dry and flat iron it.
you look amazing! What an awesome thing to do!!
. And you look great bald!
What a wonderful friend you are. I will keep your friend in my prayers. I recently had a bit of a scare myself, but I can't imagine what she must be going through.
