Mine started to come out on day 13 of cycle one, it wasnt bad but I shaved it off on a grade 4 that day as personally I didnt want to watch it fall out. Then on day 17 the short hair literally slid off my head so I shaved it without the guard. Im now nearly up to cycle 5 and can honeslty say Ive never had a shiny bald head, and Im told I have a lot of hair by my kids and OH. All I can feel when I run my hand over is stubble but Im told I have a load of fine fair hair (was ginger before).
