Then you make the first pass. Hair falls into the sink. You gasp. That’s your identity swirling down the drain, buddy.
But then? You keep going. And suddenly, you’re bald. The shock is real. You’ll touch your head about forty times in the first hour. It feels like a dolphin’s belly, or a very expensive peach.
The “Do I look like a cancer patient?” panic
