The Chop

After two weeks of minimal hair loss, I started getting significant fallout. It accelerated rapidly enough that in one afternoon nap I went from mostly fine to needing to cut out a significant tangle with hair that had already fallen out knotted in with the rest. At which point I sighed mightily, grabbed some hair elastics, and did The Chop.

Which is cute as hell, incidentally, at least temporarily. I'm starting to be able to see a little too much of the surface of my head, though.

I regret to inform everyone that this sort of Hair Shenanigan means that sharp-ended hair will continue to fall into your collar while you are out minding your own business in Home Depot and it will suck until you track down the specific hairs and remove them, at which point they will promptly be replaced with another three.

The cold cap is very effective, though, despite all this! The Control Site (as I have termed the other major location, which did not get cryotherapy) has lost what I think is like 75% of its hair.
