Steve here:
The last 24 hours has brought a sudden change to Erin’s hair. As she mentioned in previous posts, it began to thin quickly and as of this morning was falling out in volume and most of her head was now totally bare. For all you Sci Fi fans, it reminded me of the Kurgan from the Highlander movie… totally bare and shiny but with a spot of hair on the top center and a larger patch on the back. You could essentially make out the pattern where the radiation was administered.
Anyway, we went to visit Erin’s friend Shannon and her family today. The following picture captures Shannon the moment Erin first removed her hat.
Uncensored reaction to seeing Erin's head
The plan then became to shave the remaining hair off, as it really was looking crazy. Here are some shots of the trimming process. Erin’s good humor about the changes continues to lighten the mood.

We left the soul patch for last.

Great pictures! Thanks for sharing the experience with us. Looks like Mateo was a little amazed also. I’m looking forward to seeing some stylish scarves, hats, and wigs as we get into the cooler weather.
Love,
Cindy

I LOVE these PHOTOS! And, if you like, my hair lady said she would be happy to help you style the wig so it’s better attuned to your face.
She just spent about 15 minutes talking with another friend about the shape of her face and the cuts she should entertain based on her taste.
What about a Rosie the Riveter look as the temps fall?

Oh, BTW, I do think you look really good with the smooth bald look anyway though. always have.
