My new hair is baby hair thin and GRAY! It's coming in straight for now - I can see some waves trying to start. I don't know what it's like to have straight hair, and this is so different from my previous head of hair! I was just getting tired of the hot blonde wig. My first outing without the wig was to Walmart. I figured if I got stares at Walmart then I would be comfortable anywhere. Lee kept telling me that it looked great, but he always thinks I look great. He was my biggest cheerleader on this issue, and he said "just go for it honey, you look awesome". I'm sure I got on his nerves; I would walk around the house, rub my hand over my short hair and say "are you sure?" and he would say "YES! you look great!" and he often liked to rub my hair and say "it's sooo soft!". Best husband ever.
The first day of school without the wig was scary, and I thought I would be uncomfortable with the stares from the kids, but it wasn't like that at all! As I walked down the 4th grade hall to my classroom, the fourth grade teachers spotted me and gave me hugs and raved about how stylish I looked! They prayed with me and gave me the courage to get through the day. The ladies in the office reacted the same, and the high school kids were funny -- many of them said "Miss, you look like that lady on the yogurt commercial!" I'm sure they mean Jamie Lee Curtis and I know what they meant - "short gray hair is cool"!
Aaahh......much more comfortable this way!
