TN has caused me to make many sacrifices in my life. One of the most noticeable is my hair. When I found out I was having my second mvd I cut off over 18 inches of hair. The first time I had mvd and I washed my hair it hurt like holy hell with all that heavy hair. It felt like my hair was so heavy that it was pulling my scalp apart and pulling the staples through my skin. I wasn’t having that again, so off with the hair. Second mvd made my pain even worse and my bangs touching my forehead was setting off pains, so they had to go too. I cut my hair sorter than I ever thought I would have it, but like I said… Sacrifices. See attached pic for the new hair cut!

Its ironic you posted this , last nite I was discussing with my daughter that my hair is too heavy on my head need to cut it down considerably. Last year I had my cousin cut my hair shirt as yours. As I now prepare for MVD on right side will cut it short again. I no lomger color my hair am all gray. Could not tolerate color on my head. I have embrassed it earned every grey follicle on my headLOL
Just for comparison here’s where my hair started…

Well Heather, your new “do” is really cute but I surely understand why you titled this discussion Sacrifice. So much of our self image reflected in our attachment to how our hair looks and how we feel about it. That’s about three years good growth. Sad to see it go. But a good choice.
I haven’t had an MVD but I’m having sort of the opposite problem. It hurts so much to have my hair cut I just let it go but then when I dry it, because its long, that hurts like hell too. Last summer I did get a fairly short bob but my neck felt chilly all the time and that made my scalp fire off. So this mess of hair also acts as insulation.
Joanne, I am grey too, but it’s quite silvery/ white/ light brown streaks/dark streaks, so I’ve actually had people ask me where I get it “done” and that gives me a good laugh!
