I lost all my hair in a bleaching accident at a salon and I am not okay Part of me feels like I have no right to feel like this based on current events. But I can't stop crying and I feel like shit. Yesterday I went to the salon to get my roots died and next thing I know - my scalp is burning and the plastic my head was wrapped is melting and going everywhere (including my skin). I was rushed to the sink and three minutes later all 25 inches of my hair were completely gone. I have half an inch of hair left. My scalp is still red and dry. I feel like a spoiled brat complaining about "just hair" when there are wars and famine going on. I am really, really trying to put things into perspective by reading depressing news so I can stop feeling bad but somehow it's not working. :( This hair meant something to me - it represented was me finally being healthy after decades of treating myself like shit (long story). How the fuck am I supposed to go to work now? I work in a mostly male dominated field and I am dreading going back. I'm even considering just wearing a wig until I figure out what to do. Right now I'm just having some vodka. :( www.reddit.com/r/TwoXChromosomes/comments/1cc3f75/ilostallmyhairinableachingaccidentata/source
