This is all the hair that came out today. And we got this much hair out yesterday.
Do you remember that? And pretty soon all the hair is going to be off your head.
But how long is all the hair going to get out? Pretty soon.
Daddy and I wanted to show you this web site and see what you think about it.
This lady got a haircut right here. You can see how it works, ok?
Because what you do in this special thing that they do here
you can cut off your hair and they will put it into a special wig for you to wear
so that you can have your own curly hair again. But the hard part is Grace, you have to cut it now.
Like within the next day or two and you would have to cut it really short.
And they would sew it together, put it into a wig, and once your hair all falls out then you could wear that if you'd like
This is her hair after it came out. She is wearing a wig.
Because she had chemotherapy and all her hair came out so she put on this wig and she wears a hat with it.
Well I don't know how to wear a wig with all my hair in it.
See how her hair's all gone? She had chemotherapy too and all her hair is all gone. What she did is she
took off some of her hair, she cut it off early and they put it into this special wig
right there then she wears the wig and then she can pick any hat she would like to. This
is Sherry, she will be undergoing chemotherapy in a few days and she is going to be losing
all of her hair, but rather than lose all this beautiful hair we're going to save it
and make it into an under hair. So the best thing to do is to put it into lots of pony
tails around the head. When you cut them don't cut super close to the rubber band because
the rubber band might come out. It doesn't look like a lot does it? No you know it's
very surprising usually you have to add a little bit even though its all the hair that
came off of your head we have hair to match and we will usually add a little bit into
the back of the hairpiece you'll never know that its there you won't be able to detect
the difference but it does help to flush out the hairpiece. Two weeks later... Look, she
lost all her hair to chemotherapy. And look, here's a a wig she made with her own hair.
Look at this it's going to be amazing. I've been waiting for this day. Hey it looks like
you again. I wanted to call and say can you come earlier? I can't see her eyes. When you
receive your underhair in the mail we'll give it a light trimming but we will leave it on
the longer side that way you can have it cut and styled the way you like it. Alright lets
try on a bunch of hats. See and then she wears a hat, she always wears a hat with it. Well
you can't really ever feel normal during chemotherapy and cancer but you've given me a shot of it.
Well good. Thank you. You're welcome. She has a green hat. Mmm hmm. Look how funny her
hat is look it. We can take you to that hair salon with the big rocking horse and we can
let them cut your hair very very short so wouldn't have very much hair on your head.
Yeaaaa! I want to go there. Ok but Grace are you ok with them cutting your hair off? Yeaaa.
And very very short? Mmm hmmm. Yea? And then we will turn it into a wig for you? Yeah,
sure? But how long is it going to take? Good question. To do my wig. Probably a few weeks
but we will try to get it faster. Maybe a week. Maybe a week we would have to wait.
Would you be ok with short hair for a few days? Yeah. Yeah? Oh, that will look cute.
Did you know that I'm going to get my hair cut short too. I'll call over there today.
We'll do that we'll make a wig for you ok? Ok, great. Did you know that when Noni cut
her hair off last week I went to wash it and it was like oh my gosh this is so easy. And
its kinda nice for the summer you won't get hot in the summer. Yeah, I won't get super
hot. You and I will go swimming and we'll come out of the pool and say "all done". Yeah
and I wouldn't feel even cold. Gracie this is going to be cute on you. And when you are
done we have this beautiful prize. It kind of reminds me of your beautiful dress we picked
out. Oh, it kind of reminds me of that too. "mmmmm" Noni is being silly. Can I see how
many hair I cut off? Mmm hmm. Doing great. Look at all those curls. So proud of you.
They said that when those hair grows back from the chemotherapy it might even be a bit
of a different color. Like pink or red? Probably more like lighter. Now we are not going to
have any hair in my eyes. You're right. I'm going to tell you Grace it is so nice not
to have tangles. Oh, yeah. Gracie hated tangles. Yeah. Its so much fun not to have tangles.
I yell a lot when my mom brushes my hair. Ok Gracie last one and then she's going to
trim it a little bit. To make it even prettier. Mmm, that's my beautiful girl. Ha ha, look
at that. Good job Grace. Yeah, its cold. You won't believe it so easy in the morning when
I get up I do this and I'm done. Were is all my hair? Do you want to hold up your hair
to show it off? Good job. Wow, look at all that hair that is a ton of hair. Now can I
wear this? That will make a beautiful wig. As soon as she's done trimming your hair in
the back sure.
