I had my hair shaved off for brain surgery. For some reason, I'm unable to tolerate anything in my hair, meaning I cannot wear barrettes, headbands, clips, or any such things. Since I have to keep my hair tidy, I have no choice but to keep it cut shorter than I care to have it.
Those who have known me since before the surgery can testify as to my frustrations at not having long hair as I once had.
