Cancer-Free Real Housewives of Miami Star Keeps Shaved Head

“Real Housewives of Miami” star and event planner extraordinaire Guerdy Abraira shocked fans with her breast cancer diagnosis in May 2023. Abraira got real with viewers as she shared her diagnosis and treatment throughout RHOM Season 6 – including the moment her husband — fan-favorite Russell Abraira — helped her shave her head in anticipation of her hair falling out during treatment.

Now, the reality star says she and her hubby love her new look and that her shaved head is here to stay.

“We are keeping the hair!” Guerdy told Page Six Style at DIRECTV’s Streaming with the Stars Oscars viewing party in Beverly Hills over the weekend.

Guerdy says Russell, a firefighter for the city of Miami, is “obsessed” with her sexy new look, admitting to Page Six that the close cut comes in handy in the bedroom and is “now part of foreplay.”

The decision to maintain her shaved head is just another way Guerdy has tried to maintain some control throughout her cancer battle.

“I’ve had no control throughout this entire cancer journey, and with chemo, hair loss is one of the main side effects,” she said during a confessional on her show. “If that’s the only thing I can control, I will, because that hair is gonna fall off on my terms.”

Besides loving the way she looks with her new do, Guerdy says the benefits of a close cut also hit her bottom line.

“It’s so empowering,” she said. “And honestly, I’ve saved, like, over $50,000 just not having the wigs and the waves and the this and the that.”
