Re: Liane's short hair pics

[Guest guest]

Nan,

My hair is 3/4 the way down my back in length and I had no trouble

with it. I just kept it in a pony tail. They didnt let me shower

while i was in the hospital, so it was good to keep it out of the way.

I was reeeally grimey (no, not grimmy Li.. you silly!!!) and took two

complete shampooings to get clean. That's the worst part of my

experience, I thought. I never barfed or anything .. maybe I should

have to get to wash my hair!! lololol.. so sorry..lol.. how about

braiding your hair real tight. Liane had hers braided and it stayed..

good luck in you endeavour.

Sue.

Hey Nan!

yep, my hair was MUCH longer when I had surgey.. it was just above my

waist.. felt I had to cut it because every time I've combed it, it

looks like a pekinese has exploded on my vanity, lol..

What I did to prevent having to deal w/my hair during surgery was to

get it braided into an updo.. hard to explain what I had, but it was

essentially cornrowed from the hairline to the crown all the way

around my head, then the braids were twisted into a bun & secured with

rubber bands. it lasted a total of 15 days.. got it braided the day

before surgery, was in 4 days, then took it down when it started

looking fuzzy.. It lasted well; I even washed it every few days to get

the sweat out (I was sweating like crazy those first weeks- either

freezing or hot!). Since it was braided, I had no trouble.. but after

being sick the first 2 weeks, then on clears most of a month, it

started falling out in handfuls. And my hubby- who really didn't want

me to cut it- LOVES it now, lol..

Glad you're back online! I'd wondered where you went to!

Hugs,

Liane =)
