That is a lot of hair, at least it is happening in the summer and not the bitter cold of winter. I usually get my hair cut in Feb, that way it has time to grow long enough to protect my neck during the winter.

Good attitude on the loss, not much can be done about it other than wait it out. Maybe it will grow back with a slightly different shade or thickness. I wish mine would get back to being a little bit thicker, but it is what it is.
