So the thought of losing our "crowning glory" is frightening. I suspect it's also a focus for many other more vague fears and anxieties. But keep in mind the following points: 1) Not everyone experiences hair loss. I didn't. 2) Some hair loss may be fairly common, but in most people it isn't noticed by others even if it seems very obvious to you. Your hairdresser can help you figure out a style to make it look thicker. Since your body and face are changing rapidly, a new hair style may be appropriate anyway. Perms and color treatment can thicken the texture and give you a lift. 3) Hair loss is virtually never permanent. It grows back within a few months! <!--more--> 4) You'll be feeling so much better in your shrinking body and having so much fun buying smaller clothes, fitting in to things like theater seats, turnstiles, roller coasters, etc., that you'll easily be able to distract yourself from your distress over temporarily thinning hair, if you get it at all.
