Hello,
for the last couple years I have been struggling with my already thin hair thinning even more. A few months ago my hair loss sped up aggressively and I can now clearly see my scalp on the top of my head through the remaining hairs. Today is august 8th and I am leaving august 18 which is a sunday for a friends wedding in Hawaii=)I am super nervous and a little scared so I was thinking I would wait to shave my head until that saturday before I left because I then I would have a whole week to get a little comfortable with my new look before returning to work. I don't typically have sensitive skin but I have never shaved my head so I don't know how my skin will react. The last think I want to have happen is have major scalp irritation when I am on vacation for a wedding in Hawaii (where I have never been). So I am wondering should I just brave it out and do it in the next couple days so that if there is irritation it will have some time to repair itself? Or is there something special I can do to prevent scalp irritation? I am going to a salon to have my head shaved b/c I am too nervous to do it myself this first time around.

I really appreciate any thoughts you might have!!
