no need to be embarrassed........think of it as finding a new side of yourself.........i too have had long hair forever and every color u can think of, but maybe no hair will give me insight into the unknown and who knows maybe ill like it

ps.....maybe u would too  :)

It grows back. Stop the meds, and your hair returns.

I think the worst part of the hair thing is when I blow dry (and I have to!) is the hair falling on my back and it freaks me out. So I always wear a long sleeve t-shirt to catch the falling debris. Close the drain on the sink and your good to go.
