I know it's hard to imagine, but you do just about get used to the bald head. I eventually found shaving it every month weirdly empowering. I think like with the cut, it gives you a moment of feeling in control. Not that it doesn't totally suck and is a hard thing to deal with, especially as a young woman. Other people's responses eventually rolled off of me, I put up an invisible shield of sorts around me. You might even grow to look at and appreciate your face in weird ways. You are so much more than hair. But I understand and remember counting down how much time it would take to grow back too. ❤️
