So I knew it was gonna happen, but man does it suck. I'm a cosmetologist and have always had awesome hair since I graduated. Now I'm thinking about cutting it super short just so I don't notice it so much. Good idea or bad idea? How did you cope?

I cut mine short and I'm loving the length. I feel you, though. I kinda hate the hair loss. I really don't like pulling handfuls of hair out of my head every day. I can't believe I'm not bald yet! I just keep telling myself it's temporary and at least so far, no one but me can really notice the change.

On the plus side, hats finally fit me.

Lol. I know it will be worth it and it is temporary I've just never looked good with really short hair in the past guess I'm kinda scared.

I shaved my head for St. Baldricks (children's cancer research) about 6 weeks post-op.  If I have had issues with hair loss, I haven't noticed!  I've been keeping my hair super short ever since.

I keep on waiting for it to happen....I had my surgery about 5 weeks after you!! In preparation I recently went back blonde. I thought the darker hair would expose my scalp more. As soon as I see the first signs of hair loss I'm going to chop mine into a Taylor Swift or Julianne Hough bob! I have the pictures picked out and ready to go! My hairdresser said she would work me in!

Obviosuly by post above.....I think you should cut it!! We're changing our bodies so why not change up our look! The worse that can happen is the hair will grown back. Good luck to you and I hope the loss isn't too much!
