Good morning everyone, and happy Saturday. I hope your day is off to a great start.
We all know how we feel about people touching our hair.
Two days prior to starting chemotherapy, my hair was shaved off and preserved. I do not wear wigs, but I love pretty scarves and cute hats (so that's what I wore while I was bald). My hair started growing back just before finishing chemotherapy (finished chemotherapy on February 21, 2017).
I still enjoy wearing my pretty scarves and cute hats. The first day I went without a hat or scarf in public was earlier this week (because it was hot as hell). At first I wasn't comfortable with it, because I have never worn such short hair as an adult. It didn't take too long to get use to it since it was so darn hot.
There were a couple of times where I was around relatives, and I knew since I didn't have on a scarf or a hat, someone would attempt to touch my hair. Well, three people touched my hair (all related to me). I know I could have stopped them, but I wanted to let them 'get it out of their system' (although I could feel myself cringe a bit when their hand touched my hair). Because I know on any future attempts, I would pull my head back and politely say 'please don't touch my hair' or either do a karate kick and politely say 'please don't touch my hair'. You already know me, so yes, I washed my hair once I got home.
Well, I will be around a bunch of people today (later this afternoon and evening). I will place a scarf and a hat in my vehicle because I already know I won't feel like pulling my head back or doing any karate kicks today. Our hair is our hair. It's our 'personal property'. I know most people have never seen me with hair this short. Heck, I haven't even seen me with hair this short until now. Some of my relatives may have seen me with hair this short when I was a BABY.
Hey, maybe I should take a flyswatter or a water gun and use it on anyone who attempts to touch my damn hair today.
