Hi @Locksley it was one of the biggest shocks for me, I originally had very long hair down to the cheeks of my butt, so I decided to get it cut just below my shoulder (60cm off) before my 1st cycle then on day 12 it started to fall out so 5 days later my partner shaved it to 3mm looked weird as but felt great. I don't recall having a sore scalp maybe a little tingling , but agree with @ddon I had to change to a satin pillowcase straight away as my head sort of stuck to my cotton one😂.

How are you going with it?
