BALD IS BEAUTY ~ The technique

I'm a woman, and I'm learning.

Much like a teen boys first shave. I'm going through some things. I really am learning.

I began with the large clippers and just buzzed as close as it would go that was ok, but because I have bald patches about my head the only way to make the look uniform is to shave with the razor.

Before the razor. I went to the smaller clippers and got a really good buzz cut and then...

I got the MACH 3 baby. Great shave, then I got a bit over zealous, and shaved daily until I shaved away layer upon layer of skin and ended up with a head laced with scabs.

So I've returned to the small clippers. I buzz every other day. I wash my scalp as I do my face, and also use a buff-puff for exfoliating. I dab with witch hazel or old spice aftershave then apply a bit of A&D ointment or bacitracin. It gives a good finish to my bald head, not too much shine plus it's medicated.

I have been given some advice and told of other products I could use, but my quest is a product that removes the hair for good to eliminate the need for a shave all together.

There Is Strength In Numbers

Indeed.

It would be nice to know that I am not alone.

I was not born with a bald head. I am a medical enigma.
Having been diagnosed with IDIOPATHIC ALOPECIA.

In lay terms: I don't know why your hair has fallen out.

I was told that my only real option was scalp reduction. I'll have to do more research on that. :::::thinking:::::

In lay terms: Cut away the bald patches of skin and sew the hairy edges together. Sounds yummy, don't it?

I Have Come Clean ::pun intended::

My first revelation as a bald woman: "No one gives a shit!"

My name will be: T-Bbone (The Bald beauty-ful one)
My thing: Writing
My mission: Enlightenment, acceptance, tolerance, and coping

The objective:To heal my mind and spirit, and to sustain my confidence. If in so doing I help another, this sacrifice is well worth taking.

++note to self++
Today I embrace the beauty and power of living hair-free. Today I truly face what I no longer believe to be the "grim" reality. I am not just a woman. I am a bald woman.

**note to God**

God,

Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change.
The courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.

Thank you,
T-Bbone (the bald beauty-ful one)

How It All Started

Well my endless surfing has lead me here to we::blog. I'm thrilled.

I've decided to use this site as a place to post my strange rantings, write articles, stories, and blah:blah:blah for my main website www.baldisbeauty.com. COMING SOON!

Bald is beauty is a concept that I created because I couldn't find much more than joke sites, sites for bald men, creative ways to cover my ugly bald head, and all sorts of lotions, pills and potion websites that related to baldness. Well, what I discovered was a lack of sites that embraced the beauty and uniqueness of the baldhead not even on the male baldness sites.

I love my bald head now. Ok, this is my journey...I'm learning to live with my bald head ::unveiled:: ::exposed:: ::out of the closet?:: oh that's too funny. I know I'll find use for that phrase in my rantings, oops, my writings.

My goal: create a feel good, express yourself website for myself first, and other bald women.

Dilemma: No site, no following, so initially it will be a theraputic site for me to address the psycho-social issues related to my baldness.

++note to self++
Girl, that sounds good. Keep it coming...
