That’s little me wearing a hat I wish I still had. Absolute show stopper.
This situation was a breakdown and a half. I threw so many headscarves around my room trying to tie them, watching endless videos, crying.
I practiced whilst I still had hair and thought I’d nailed it until I moved and it was super loose and looked awful. Here’s an embarassing photo for you that I sent to my best friend saying something along the lines of “I give up I hate everything”
(PG version)
That is a pyjama top ok just leave judgement at the door.
Lucky for me (feels odd typing that constantly whilst sitting here with cancer) I have a lovely, saint like, colleague and friend who actually beat cancer!!!! Scream and shout and clap your hands for her please I can’t even tell you how incredible she is.
My lovely friend not only let me use all of her gorgeous headscarves, she listened to my frustration and immediately invited me over to show me how to tie them.
Over I went. She took the time out of her own day to do something that probably brought back that horrible time in her life. Despite this, she made me the nicest salad I’ve had in forever and made sure I was ok. Wonder woman, I admire you and your strength more than I could ever explain and I will always be so grateful for you.
Ok back to shallow before I cry.
Step by step time, she taught me lots of different styles, this one I find I can do quickly, easily, and the bow thing works for my head.
I’m trying to learn this reel business ok and once I have I’ll do one on nailing the bow. If anyone cares.
Big shout out to my hairdresser too who taught me how to get the bow reaaaalllyyy bowing, I love ya.
It’s hard feeling so exposed with your head being out like this, everything feels different, clothes look different. Your identity feels like it’s gone, so being able to tie a headscarf and feel comfortable is so gamechanging. You don’t have to settle for any style that you think is easy and acceptable, do you, go as big as you want to!
Bigger the bow, bigger the h…eart.
