Taking Control of a Hairy Situation

Saying farewell to hair accessories - for now.

Brushing my locks one last time.

Using as many hair accessories as possible at one time.
And looking silly because of it.

Saying goodbye to your first ponytail of hair is hard for a girl.
And her husband.

Joshua's first few cuts were close!

The angled look is good on me, don'tcha think?
Something to keep in mind when it grows back...


Kisses are required before shaving my hair.

Here it goes!

Mohawk style is first. 

Rockin' the girl mohawk. I'm tough!

Getting serious...mohawk is disappearing.

I seemed to gain power as the hair disappeared.

Shaving off the neck fuzzies and making final touches.


This is my new look.
I decided to beat chemo to the hair loss punch.
Hope this helps me cope better with the total hair loss coming my way soon.

Laura, I think I see a book in the making! Others could be helped by dealing with this "journey" as you and Josh are working through it! I am so very proud of you and in awe of your gutsy, clever, bold (& organized) approach to this *@(#*)@&$ !! Much love to you! I really like your new look! Aunt Sandy

Laura, You look beautiful!!!!
Joshua, you need to come cut Kris' hair, nice job! :)

Juli said...

This is a beautiful look for you! I'm coming over to have Joshua cut my hair, then I'm sending it to Locks of Love. Trully, it sets off your eyes and your features. (And you can have my pill cutter - I'll bring it over). Love, Juli

You look wonderful Laura! You rock! I bet it will grow back even stronger and even more beautiful! Hope things went smoothly today. Thinking of you. :) Am

Jeney said...

I LOVE IT!

I personally think you're more of a Demi Moore in GI Jane....

Plus, I bet she'd come to chemo with her brass knuckles too...

Kimberley said...

LOVE IT and LOVE THE PICS! I admire you so much for your courage! Many hugs to all of you!

You look AMAZING! And yes - Definitely keep that angled look in mind for the grow out to come. What a hottie! :) ~Ashley

Laura Bee: Thanks to you all encouraging me to go "bigger" - I have LOTS of fab earrings. I think it's a great look to rock.

Anneliese: Be careful. Saying I look younger may cause me to keep the cut. Perhaps you should consider it, too? :)

Thanks to everyone else! It's pumped me up that you all can see beauty in an unconventional gal cut, too.

Also, I think brass knuckles would be cool...maybe with some bling? Adam/Jeney, wanna hook me up? :)
