You can do it any way you want: there are no rules. We asked the Rosette la Vedette fans on our Facebook page and this is what they told us about losing their hair:. I gave myself a buzz cut that very day, and a week later, it was all gone! Now I have a short, snappy style and I'll never go back to long hair ever again!
If I had to lose my hair, I wanted to make it a fun thing I did with my children. They loved being allowed to play hairdresser for once. My boyfriend and I decided that he would shave it all off. It was a very sad moment, but it was also a very beautiful experience and I was happy that we were able to share it. It happened during the third week after my first chemo session. I was sitting at my PC and suddenly I was holding a handful of hair.
I called my best friend to tell her that it was time for the clippers and she was on my doorstep within 10 minutes we live on the same street.
We had agreed to go bald together. My boyfriend was bald already. And I found the whole thing a really lovely, funny experience and a huge relief. Don't shave it yet. I'll explain more later. Cutting your hair short at this point will greatly relive the tenderness. Three to five days after the two week mark, your hair loss will really pick up speed and you'll be tired of dealing with it. At this point you want to encourage the hair to come out.
Gently comb out your hair. Then shampoo and rinse. A lot more will come out. Apply your regular conditioner and comb through your hair with the conditioner in. This puts just enough tension on your hair to gently coax it from the follicle. Rinse out the conditioner, dry your hair and now you are ready to clip it down.
It's very important that you do not clip it all the way to the scalp. Please use a 2 attachment. If you clip it all the way to the scalp, those little whiskers will get caught in the follicle. They will detach from the papilla, the bulb that feeds the hair, but be stuck in the follicle.
This will be like a splinter or ingrown hair and you will get tiny red bumps or sores. This is not good and can be totally avoided if you use an attachment and leave a little bit of hair. Okay, so you've clipped your hair with a 2 attachment. Now take one of those masking tape lint rollers and roll it over your head.
You will be amazed at how much more hair comes out. Use the lint roller several times a day to get the rest of it out. This content does not have an English version. This content does not have an Arabic version.
