I’m getting tired of seeing my hair all over the floor.
If I use the shaving machine wouldn’t the small little hairs left still be falling?
Or would it be better to go completely 👩🏽‍🦲?

Members rallied around someone deciding whether to shave their head during treatment, with the overwhelming consensus being that going fully bald made life easier and more comfortable. Several members shared that shaving eliminated the frustration of constant shedding, made their heads feel cooler, simplified hair care routines, and even became a look they forgot they had, sometimes leaving home without a hat. A recurring theme was finding empowerment and relief in the decision, celebrating both the practical benefits and the emotional freedom of letting go.

I couldn't take all the hair everywhere so I finally did it shaved bald( well I still have little tiny hairs) best decision I ever made my head is cooler and I don't spend a lot of time washing it and not much shampoo either,, 😂 best wishes with ur decision.

Juadgi, I did not lose all hair. It thinned out but not bad.
I did get head wraps and talked to my hsir dresser. We had planned on her shaving my head but didn't have to.

So, I was going to shave completely off

Many prayers 🙏🙏🙏🙏

They told me I would lose all my hair it was waist long, so we braided it and my husband cut 2 long braids. I didn’t lose 1 hair off my head throughout the entire treatment and I didn’t do the ice or anything different. Well my hair is back down to my waist and I’ll never cut it again. So far cancer free for 4 years!
