Would You Ever Shave Your Head....

[LexiDior]

for cancer awareness?? I know that a lot of famous people are doing this but with use doing so much for our hair, would any of you do this for a friend??

 

[hair4romheaven]

Yes, not down to skin but yes.

 

[runwaydream]

err... no me shaving off all this pretty hair isn't gonna keep nobody from getting cancer. i'd rather donate some money to an organization and keep my crowning glory, thanks

 

[lovegymnasts]

No................

 

[faithVA]

I wouldn't do it for a friend. Maybe if I had a child with cancer I would do it in support of my child.

 

[sunnieb]

NO!!!!!!!

I'll donate cash to the cause though.

 

[FrazzledFraggle]

I would do it for my child. That is all.

For my kid? Yes.

 

[AyannaDivine]

For my bestie or a family member, yes. I've shaved my head before and looked mighty fly w/ my baldie

 

[LexiDior]

yeh i think I would donate or buy something pink for them also.

 

[westNDNbeauty]

Honestly, I'd have to be in the situation to know.

 

[getoffmylawn]

Nope, not even for a family member

[Anavrin]

If the loved one was really insecure about it or I was going to donate, yes.

Ive pondered this question a lot lately, OP.

 

[RocStar]

Most people who do this, do it for a reason to support the loved one. It is not just let's shave our head because momma got cancer, it is usually more about, we want momma to feel comfortable being bald, so we will be bald with/around her.

And yes, if it was a close friend or close family member, I would do it.

 

[BraunSugar]

I'd do it.

No. No one wants to see this big ol' head bald. No one.

My mother and sister went thru losing their hair to treatments. I was very aware of my hair while my mom was going thru chemo because I was in my first year of my hhj. I did start covering my hair up with scarves while around her because she was marveling in how fast my hair was growing. That made me feel a little guilty. But, as for shaving it? Maybe if she'd asked me but, she wouldn't have asked.

sorry to hear that, i would feel a little guilty also.

 

[Iluvsmuhgrass]

Yep, I sure would. I got it to grow this go around, I could do it again.

Been through the chemo walk so i understand. It's just that you kind of miss your hair when you have no choice and it's gone. It depends on the person. My bff said she would go with me to get my head shaved before the chemo took it. But she wasn't shaving her head i told her i understand. Would i do it? Maybe

My personal experience: Being alongside someone fighting cancer puts you in a different space and your willingness changes and turns to things you may not have considered otherwise. I get that men don't worry as much about hair loss like women. However, when dh was battling, I quickly realized that life is/was far more important than hair. If shaving my head would have helped him recover quicker and/or press through easier, I sure would have without hesitation. Just my perspective....

 

[ladyscorpian14]

yes I'm doing it this year hehe

 

[Monaleezza]

NEVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!! lol

But I did 'Race for Life' this year and raised over £500. What does shaving my head solve?? You must be kidding!! lol

 

[irisak]

No, but I tell my bff all the time I would buy us two matching lace wigs made from the finest hair mo et can buy and rock it with her.

[havilland]

i would do it for my child in a heartbeat. no question.

honestly though, i wouldn't do it for anyone else....i'd cover my head though and give every cent i have to their care or treatment or research and i would participate in fundraising events like i already do now to offer moral support and raise money.

 

[chantall214]

Not for anything or anybody.

 

[MissSenegal]

If one of my nieces had cancer I would. I wouldn't even think twice.

 

[Petite One]

I've already shaved my head bald twice for far less reasons, it wouldn't be a problem to shave it for a loved one or family member going through cancer.

You get over the self consciousness of not having any hair pretty quickly

 

[Whimsy]

Absolutely. I've done it before and I'd do it again.

 

[wavezncurlz]

Mz.MoMo5235 did it in support of her friend. She looks fabulous and it's growing back so pretty.

I would definitely do it for a close friend or family member.

 

[quirkydimples]

I've done it several times. My sister had cancer when she was in high school and I had just started college. I shaved it off before she started chemo to show my support. Surprise, surprise...I loved it! Over the next decade I periodically wore a bald fade because it was easy. Luckily, I don't have an alien head...
