Shaving My Head - My sister, Kris, helped me with this...

My sister, Kris, braided a small part of my hair before she started cutting.

Then, she cut off the braid - that was the first cut.

Here I am, looking at my braid.

Rick is looking at my hair as Kris starts to cut.

Here we go...


Kris had just finished chopping all the hair off - it would be easier to shave it this way. This is when I started to cry. You can see Alex (14) standing, watching in the hall.

The first strip is the hardest.

There is nothing like shaving someone's head - it makes you sick.

I covered my face with a towel - to keep the hair off and to catch the tears.

Almost there - the longest haircut of my life.

Kris wipes the hair off.

The end result.

Rick sees my head.

The boys looking at my hair. Still pretty emotional.
