I cut my long thick hair short after surgery and learning I was to have chemo. My hair started to fall out day 14 on my first cycle of chemo so then I had it shaved to a number 4. My scalp was really sensitive at first but when all my hair felll out it got better. Just think no more bad hair days and what money you will save on shampoo and trips to hairdresser. I found it hard at first when I lost my hair and felt that even though I was wearing a hat, scarf or wig that everyone was staring at me and laughing at me. I got over that and learnt to embrace having no hair. I suggest to go to a look good feel good session run by the cancer council as it is a lot of fun. Good luck.
