Hair and gone

After writing that post about zombies, I stopped having zombie nightmares which was awesome. No more waking up, heart pounding and feet ready for running because I was half-convinced there were zombies under my bed. HOORAY! But then a new type of nightmare emerged: finding that large chunks of hair had fallen from my head!



Now upon waking I'm forced to check the mirror every day, glaring fiercely at my scalp and trying to decide if I have the same amount of hair as I did yesterday. I've become convinced that it's falling out and I have no idea what to do. Am I being paranoid or just aware? Is worrying about it a self-fulfilling prophecy? Maybe if I am losing precious hairs it's because the stress of worrying over my potential baldness is causing them to fall.


So I'm trying to decide on a course of action. With zombie-related fears one can come up with some sort of plan, but how does one plan for baldness? I could cut my hair way short so it's easier to fluff out or leave it long so I can do a comb over. I could dye it blond in the hopes that if scalp is showing through it will blend in better with the color or dye it brown in case there are just a whole bunch of very light-colored hairs that can't be seen now but will all the sudden appear when darkened. I could even go drastic and buzz/shave my head like a preemptive strike. After all, Demi Moore and Sigourney Weaver have already rocked that look and they weren't half bad!



In the end I'm just not sure what the best route to take is. Oh well, at least I have all those hats and wigs if I should go bald. I can be like Princess Di and make the giant floppy hat fashionable again. I'm sure I could start a fashion trend, since after all - who wouldn't want to be me?

I could totally pull all of these off.
