Just call me Britney

I am now sporting an attractive shaved head look, a la Britney Spears circa 2007. Of course my head shaving episode was lacking the drama of Britney's - no superstardom, umbrellas, paparazzi or mental illness here, just hubby and I in the bathroom with clippers borrowed from the neighbours.

I can't say that the no-hair look suits me but it had to be done - long hair was coming out everywhere, which was getting annoying:


The photo was taken on Thursday morning and I now have a few actual bald spots, but I am surprised that I still actually have quite a lot of the very short hairs. I thought that I would be  completely bald within a few days but obviously not. The hairs are quite "loose" though, lots come out when I rub my scalp, especially in the shower.

I ventured out a couple of times yesterday, trying out a head scarf and then a wig. I felt quite self-conscious, particularly in the wig, but hopefully I'll get used to it. The head scarf is really easy and comfortable, and much cooler than the wig given that we finally have some hot weather, so think I'll wearing the scarves much more often than the wigs.

In other news: grapefruit eating and topless sunbathing are going well.

  2. Well, it may not be a choice, but I think the look quite suits you Kirsty. And you have a nicely shaped head!

  4. I agree, you have the perfect shaped head to pull that look off, and although its been forced upon you, it doesnt look as if it has!
    How bizarre about the topless sun exposure but as long as youre slapping plenty of sunblock on it cant do any harm so anything is worth a try. Wish we had the warm temperatures in Canada - between minus 10 and 20 most days, when it gets up to around zero were all out in tshirts!
    Chin up and hope the sickness eases off soon xxxx
