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

I was planning to keep what I could as I thought it would look better under a beanie or hat.  But the reality was that my scalp became so itchy and sore and the hair so matted I couldn't stand it and cut it all off as close to the scalp as I could.  What a relief to be able to slather my scalp with Sorbolene several times a day!  Then when no longer sore I finished the job with my husband's electric shaver but didn't like the prickly feeling I ended up with.  Since then more must have come out but I still have prickly patches so probably wouldn't have shaved it if I had realised that.
