There is a quote that floats around the internet that says something like, “Losing my hair didn’t make me feel beautiful. It made me feel like a cancer patient.” I imagine that’s true for many people. Hair loss isn’t just about hair. It’s another reminder that cancer has arrived, and it announces itself to the world before you’re ready.
So here we go…..
This is a busy week for Cynde and Pops. On Thursday she’ll have her chemo port placed, and on Friday she’ll head back for another round of chemotherapy. Nurses continue to come and go, monitoring blood sugar, TPN, and her central line, but everything is moving in the right direction, the direction that gives her body the best chance to be as healthy and as strong as possible for treatment.
Tomorrow, Cynde meets with her hair stylist to talk about what comes next.
She’s always said she doesn’t want a wig.
But I also think we have an opportunity to have a little fun with this, because, Lordy…we could all use a little fun.
So we decided to imagine a few possibilities.
The Basics
What if we just embraced it? No wig. No pretending. Just Cynde- beautiful, striking, and strong. Add a colorful scarf, a cute hat, some fabulous earrings, and let her smile do the rest.

Then We Got a Little Creative…
#1 Soft Pixie #2 Sleek Bob

#3 Textured Pixie #4 Soft Layered Bob

And Then…Well…Things Got a Little Crazy.

The best part?
When you’re getting a little “wiggy with it,” you can be whoever you want to be. Cher one day. Meg Ryan the next. Maybe even Dolly Parton if the mood strikes. Whatever makes you laugh. Whatever makes you feel fabulous. Whatever helps you forget, even for a moment, why you’re wearing it in the first place.

This week is another big step in this journey. We’d love your healing thoughts, prayers, good vibes, and positive energy as Cynde heads into another round of chemo.
And if you have a favorite look from our little fashion show…feel free to vote.
Thanks, dear Tribe. ❤️

I’d go with no wig if that’s the most comfortable! It looks good with or without a scarf/hat.

I CAN’T WAIT to see the next installment of “Gettin’ Wiggy With It!” No matter what the outcome, I know Cynde’s beautiful smile and spirit will outshine whatever “lid” she chooses. Personally, I’m voting for the natural, cool, comfortable scarf/hat look, though Cher is a close second!!
And to you, Heather, thank you so much for these beautifully written updates, so full of love, positivity, and humor. What an inspiration. Much love and many prayers flying your way every day.
