Can I convince her to go sly?
« on: March 12, 2013, 07:21:22 PM »
Hi. My mother in law is Shaving for a Cure soon. She is fairly outgoing & can see the fun side of it. She also thinks she's going to look hideous til it grows back.
I'm encouraging her to go the whole hog seeing as she will most likely never do this again but she only wants a buzz cut. I've explained the opportunity before her & that there's only a week or 2 between shiny & short but she's not having a bar of it.
What do you reckon?

She's a young looking 50 & has always had wavy, shoulder length brown hair with blonde highlights (so its pretty cool if her to do this "for a Cure" anyway). I just want her to get the most out of the experience, you know?

Maybe you could buy her a couple of cool scarves to wear when she is wanting to cover it up.  That way she will be able to experience it, but will have the security of wrapping it fashionably as she sees fit.

I think that's a great idea.

It would be a shame if she misses the opportunity to have the "full experience" since this is probably a one-time opportunity.

Good job on her part and good luck in convincing her to take it all the way.

If my pictures ever get approved in the gallery (someone hasn't gone through to approve lately I guess!), you can share them with her and see what she thinks.  :)

I love the smooth feel. 

Hats/scarves help too.  :)

Nice! Your MIL rocks the look! I'm a little jealous, because her haircut reminds me of the things I used to have shaved in my head back in the day (that was before the hairloss kicked in LOL)

It might just be me, the the MIL looks happier in the Sly photo.  Perhaps it's simply relief ... but looks rather joyous.
