Never had the tingly or painful scalp so many experience just before the hair goes bye bye. I remember gently pulling on my hair 14 days after AC started and it seemed to be rooted as strong as ever. On day 16 I took a shower and clumps just came out in my hand and clogged the drain. Called my hairdresser and longtime friend to shave my head on day 17. The part I don't like about being bald is that your disease is out there every minute of every day. Now that I have hair again, I promise not too complain about drying it, Dying it, curling it, etc. ever again. It is so beautiful and crisp outside, I have no idea why I am here in front of the computer before I go to work. I am going for a walk right now. Hope your day is just as beautiful wherever you may be. Karen
