How long is your hair now?Hi Pepper! Well i'm sorry it's something you know at all, but glad you're hangin' in there! Yes i am happy to be able to say...from one survivor to another with
Do you still wear the cap everywhere?
Has your hair changed any? My mother in law says her post cancer hair is very different than before she had it. She said her hair is coarser and has more texture.
It's still pretty short, neck length i guess. I've actually "graduated" to different head wear. My old (and some new) baseball caps and beanies etc but not the "cap with hair" now. Let me explain...even before i was diagnosed with cancer, i had hair loss...top of head. But because my hair was longer it was easily covered with my hairstyle. Nobody knew unless i told them. Sooo, until it gets longer i still have to wear something and it's usually a cap. No i don't feel any change in my hair really, except it's a lot grayer. lol But when it got a little longer i dyed it back to the blond i had for a lot of years. Now just waiting for it to get long enough so i don't need any headwear.
My best to your Mother-in-law. 
Full neck length is actually a substantial amount of growth and colouring it a colour you are familiar with which makes you more comfortable is a good idea. Plus blonde and grey go so nicely together.
I bet it looks pretty nice and wish you the best with your health and hair journey. ❤

Thank you, Keesha! Yeah i've colored my hair for a lot of years, i was happy when i finally had enough to color.
Hey i'm just happy to be alive! Take care, stay well. ❤lol Wow, they don't know how lucky they are. Yeah me and wigs didn't get along. It's a nice option for those that like them though.I actually work with ladies who have hair but they wear wigs...Don't ask me why. LOL
What do you mean you didn't get along with them?lol Wow, they don't know how lucky they are. Yeah me and wigs didn't get along. It's a nice option for those that like them though.
lol Sorry i just meant i tried them, didn't like them. That's why i went to the "cap with hair". Loved the cap!
Then you should try them. I didn't care for them, at all. But a lot of people do, as you know.

Which ones?
I would hate to wear a wig too. My neighbour has hair and wears all sorts of wigs. At first I couldn’t figure out how she was sporting so many different styles until one day I realized that she was wearing wigs. I guess I don’t get it either because she has nice hair but to each their own.Then you should try them. I didn't care for them, at all. But a lot of people do, as you know.

I've got a fairly normal men's haircut parted on my left. I usually dye it black because my wife likes it that way and I'm in a position at work where it's better to look younger than older. However since I haven't had to go into the office in months I've been letting it group out grey.
I don't think short hair is an "old lady" thing, nor do I think long hair is a "young woman" thing. It all comes down to what suits one's face, what feels comfortable and ease of care for many of us.
We should find the positive in other women's choices - not tear them down.

I wear my hair short now.
Had my last cut beginning of November, and i thought i'd try a little bit of a longer version of my style cut.
Well, didn't take long till i decided i didn't like it that way.
So, my next cut was for January 13.
Guess i wasn't thinking, my cut appointment was cancelled because of lockdown..
I'm totally hating the length........now because of the restrictions again......only one hairdresser, one c, phustomer, in salon at one time.......my cut is down for FEBRUARY 19. CRAP !!!!!!!!!
That makes over 3 months for a cut.... not my thing.
So, drivers photos are done every 5 years........guess what.......mine is due beginning of February.
So, the mug shots are......no eye glasses, no jackets, no smiling......the only thing missing are the inmate numbers at the bottom of the photo.
What a striking mug shot this will be.
THANKS COVID.

I ordered one of those messy buns so I can put my hair up in that. Never done that before and want to try it.

I agree totally! I had short hair, up and over the ears, and now it is almost touching my shoulders. I like the change, not having to get a trim every month. Plus, I am trying out this long hair and loving it. Might as well until the salons are open again. I might not want a short cut anymore. lol

Wigs are fun. I bought one when my hair was at that odd length stage. Loved it. There are all sorts of "pieces" you can buy to add to your present hair. Like messy buns, longer pieces, etc. Just go in and look at all they have!Then you should try them. I didn't care for them, at all. But a lot of people do, as you know.
Once you get used to long hair , you’ll find that it’s far easier to take care of than shorter hair. You brush it and put it up or pin it back and don’t have to worry about getting a cut and style so will save a bunch of money. Plus there’s some really classy looking buns and hair accessories available. You might even want to make your own. It’s super simple and fun.
