I was going to shave then couldn't for some reason, as all my hair kept falling in chunks I grabbed the scissors and cut. Eventually cutting very close to the scalp. The little whispy bits I missed poke out of my hats and kinda gave me a sense of hair and I was happy with that. I was pretty much bald anyway. I think deep down for me it was an easier process than shaving except for some days and I think we all had them a glimpse in the mirror catches you off guard. Upside I love hats and I wore them all winter. It's a personal thing whatever you decide you are beautiful. I learned myself and talking to many others vanity slips out the window and we go inside, and it is a blessing in disguise. Be beautiful no matter your choice
