Well the last day of Hair Fair is traditionally Bandana Day, where we all remove our lucious locks in favour of head scarves and bandanas, to show our support for charity and for those in RL who may have lost their hair due to illness.
It was especially important for me to participate today on behalf of Deedee. Like me, Dee had long hair in real life until her cancer intervened, and the chemo drugs made her lose her lovely locks. I still shudder at this memory, when it really hit home to me that she had cancer. It was still early days and she drove over to my house for a natter, and as we were sat having a drink at my table she simply said, ‘My hair is starting to fall out, look’, and ran her fingers through her beautiful red hair…a HUGE clump came out and a sob caught in my throat. It was physical evidence of what she was going through, and it hit me like a ton of bricks. She shaved her head the next day, and I still have her lock of hair somewhere…. Her hair grew back between treatments into a short funky style but she never managed to grow her hair long again. It’s funny but I’ve dreamt about her quite a few times since she passed and each time I see her her hair is long and flowing again..
This bandana is by Laqroki, and I’ve teamed it with my rather gorgeous Curio skin and Miriel eyes for a super-stunning look:) Go on, be a baldy whilst you still can, and pop over to Hair Fair and get a bandana. I personally think this is a great look!
