Hair Today, Gone (Purple) Tomorrow

Chemo can affect people differently.  Most loose their hair.  Some loose it all, others only in places.

I am sure you have all heard of or talked to someone who, in support, of a cancer riddled loved one has shaved off their own hair. (Think Kelly Pickler)

Well, the hair will come out at some point.  It has already started to a strand or few at a time.  And it remains to be seen by our Rockstar how she will handle it when it needs handling. She is so wise.

In the meantime, I thought it would be fun to do something fun.  And one day during a dressing change, I suggested I would dye my hair whatever color she wanted. (It was a good distraction from discomfort at the time) But I also really liked the idea.  So I asked what color? Yellow was discussed, but purple being the favorite (2nd favorite?) color was selected.

It is a symbol of support for Shantel.

Breast cancer has pink ribbons on its behalf right? So now Shantel has purple hair streaks on her behalf!

Streak it up people! But use purple! Then, if you do walk the wild side...comment here and let her know!
