Who didn't cut their hair before it fell out?

I had long hair and thought I wouldn't be able to cope seeing my lovely long locks falling out so I did get it cut short so I had a little bit of time to adjust. Believe me, even short hair it seemed like an awful lot of hair falling out. It was ok though as I would go through what was left and gently pull on what was left and any that was ready to go, I could get rid of at home, rather than when I was out in public. I kept a little bucket beside my desk at home and near filled it lol. Stage by stage I learned to cope.
