Look at your girl’s hair!

Can you believe it’s been about a year since I returned to work, so fearful of showing my true self. Afraid that people would judge me, or wouldn’t understand. But look how far I’ve come! Looking at my photos, it’s been interesting to see that growth and not realize it happening on a daily basis.

Yes, hair grows back – this was a thought I held onto so tightly throughout chemo and treatments. Seeing it actually happen, changed my outlook so positively. When I was in the thick of it, it was difficult to believe that one day I would look less like an alien head cartoon character and more like myself. In many ways, it feels like the culmination of my experience up to this point; anticipating something great about to happen. And adding another life lesson to my mental filo-fax, in addition to my self-love and self-improvement mantras.

With the days getting hotter in LA, it’s been difficult for me to wear my wiggies on a daily basis. It gets a little too warm (hello, hot flashes) and itchy throughout the day. But I haven’t minded going wiggies-less. This comes as a happy change, a new go-to style to update my look on a regular basis.

This is the all natural me. My true hair. It’s been a long a journey and at times, a mental struggle to overcome. My hair is starting to grow past that awkward stage and i’m LOVING it. She’s thick and full and growing so fast. I’m so grateful 🙂
