The hair story

Recently I saw a video clip on TV about a singer who went through a chemotherapy, where he took a picture of himself every single day to show the changes in his condition through appearance. It was cool to see how he lost his hair bit by bit, went to bald, then hair regrew bit by bit again. I didn't take as many pictures as he did, but I'm going to try something similar to it today.

September 2011

It looks like I still have a lot of hair here, but I remember starting to get annoyed by abnormally shedding. Hairs fell as I shake my head side to side. 

Radiotherapy took a lot of my hair away. It was interesting to see how it should look like when you compare my lower back head with that of my sister's.

December 2011, how I look normally at home



My hair looks like this now. It's just really thin. I thank my parents to have me born with thick and a lot of hair!

Then wigging in...

I showed a picture of me in the 'newscaster style' wig to a couple of friends.It was interesting to hear people's opinion on this.

"You look like a Chinese actress!"
"The perfect hairstyle that cannot be achieved by natural hair."
"Looks like a spy, and it's fashionable."

I've never had a hairstyle like this, so it was kind of fun to play around with. But I made a very silly mistake by trying to straighten the artificial hair by hair iron, which burned a small part of the hair right before the wedding that I attended. Fortunately it wasn't very obvious!

And I have to say, that I don't enjoy wearing wig at all. I don't understand my aunt who loves it and wears it all the time. Wearing a wig always gave me headache because I don't like having anything tightening my head. However, miraculously, I did not have any trouble on my friend's wedding day...very strange. I had to wear the wig for 8 hours that day. My assumption is the constant consumption of alcohol that may have made my headache go away. So perhaps...alcohol should come with wig next time as well :P
