Mum got a wig! She and my aunty went to House of Fraser in Exeter to look for a wig as she is nearly on her second dose of chemotherapy and is due to lose her hair anytime soon.
I came home from school and mum showed me her new hair. To be perfectly honest, it wasn't any different from the hair she has now. It was still the same short, bob-shaped, dark chocolate brunette coloured hair. It comforted me to know that a part of her would remain the same.
She also purchased a rather odd accessory...it was an extra hair piece, a fringe. She bought it so whenever she didn't feel like wearing the wig (wigs can get quite itchy and hot) she could use the fringe under a hat.
Mum got her hair cut short as well so it's not as shocking when it falls out. I also discovered a rather interesting fact the other day. Mum's hairdresser told her that when your hair falls out, it can be painful. I thought it just effortlessly disappears one day.
Well, you know what they say - you learn something new everyday!
