Hi pink sister Al
Sounds like your time has also arrived - from all the comments on this post I think I was lucky to be 3 weeks before any hair loss/thinning!
If you enjoy the head massage and pampering then go for another haircut. For me it was only a week from the beginning to the bald patches being noticeable in my shorter hair (profile photo length) so another cut would have been a waste! I went the number 4 that day and then no 2 two days later - and loving it! Walk around home (inside) hatless but Tassie weather means I need a hat or the wig outside! MIght even get brave and upload a pic soon!
I found it really good to wear a sleep hat once I started to lose - no hair on the bed linen and again needed for the cold nights here. I have a couple of lovely soft cotton hats - not spectatular like some of the great winter ones but ever so good for bed and around home. I made a couple, picked up some great scarves to wear with the at the op shop and was also given some from "Gotcha Covered" - www.gotchacoveredhats.com.au
Also be prepared for the extra tender head time - for me the night before the clumpy loss. It even 'hurt' to move my head on the pillow!
As always, thinking all the best for you
