I was one of the fortunate ones who had a lot of hair to start so the loss wasn't as noticeable. Even so, as it became more noticeable to me, I went a little shorter because it was starting to look pretty stringy and lifeless (is that redundant?). At one point, I went off chemo for a few months and short, little hairs started popping up all over; my hair looked awesome because the little hairs added volume. If you have enough left to risk some shorter hairs, maybe ask your hairdresser about it ... I think there's a texturizing cutting tool.
