Entry #8 - The Promised Photo


Alright, everyone! I'm pleased to say that it's been a month and my hair is growing fast, yet still raising awareness! As the experts say, my hair really does seem to grow 1/2 inch per month! Jenna measured it today, and it seems to be just about exactly 1/2 inch! It's very soft either way you pet it, and it feels very odd to not have brushed my hair for a month! I mean, how many girls my age can say that without people looking at her as though she's crazy? I still get the crazy look, but it's much more hygienically pleasing! I performed in the Megillah and many people saw it for the first time. Some thought I did it only for the play, but I quickly told them what I actually did it for! It also suited my role as one of the Henry Vs in my friends' production of Henry V!

Well anyway, in stead of taking a picture of me and my hair every week, we've decided to do it once every month. This photograph was taken on Thursday, March 17th, exactly one month after my head was shaved.

Entry #7 - Three Weeks and Counting

Hi, folks! Sorry it's been so long since I last posted. Here's an update!

The hair has been growing pretty fast, although I believe that it just seems this way because it's so short. It's been three weeks - one week short of a month - and hair supposedly grows 1/2 inch per month. My hair is not very close to 1/2 inch yet...but we're getting there! As the weather gets warmer, I'm wearing my warm hats less and less. Claire has almost finished my hat, and it's REALLY beautiful and the perfect - not too hot or chilly, and very comfortable and attractive!

People haven't been rubbing my head as much lately, though my mom never fails to greet me with a hug and a good rub-of-the-head for "good luck." I also have another friend, Meredith, who constantly asks how her "good friends upstairs" are, meaning my little peeps of hair. She, at least, enjoys rubbing my fuzz! Speaking of fuzz - a lot of people, including me, are now calling it my "peach fuzz."

Stay tuned for pictures - they'll be coming very soon!! :)
