Thanks, guys - I'm loving the bald thing so far. I've had a few days to live with it and my husband took it shorter than it is in the pic - to a 1 guard. My hair is light, so it's hardly visible. I may just go for the full sly look eventually, but I like the way it looks right now. I'll post an updated pic sometime soon. I'll be going to work tomorrow, the first time since I had the hair removed. I did send a pic giving everyone at work a preview, and I posted a new profile pic on Facebook, which has definitely reduced the anxiety. Many of my coworkers, family, and friends have seen me now and I've gotten only great positive comments so far (as many of you suggested would happen). I'm really not very nervous about the real life "reveal" now, so for me the preview reveal was a good thing and I'd recommend it to others. My husband and I went shopping and out for dinner and drinks yesterday and I felt great!
Whew...what a relief. Still a little anxiety, but more than anything I feel free. I also love the 5 minute shower...already saving so much time and energy.
Saintc - my hair stylist threw it in the trash! I do have to say that my hair was not terrible - I've seen some other guys who go to HCM who clearly don't put the time or care required into the process. It truly is a grueling, expensive, frustrating process. BUT - and I don't know if people are being sincere or not - most of my coworkers and friends say they never suspected it wasn't my hair. Event my smart ass friends who would love to tease me about something like this! I guess I'll never know if it actually really fooled anyone. All I care about now is not having to worry about whether it is or not. Thanks for all your support , guys! I'm happy and proud to be part of SBGs now!
