Additional Effect #3

Hair loss

I had trimmed my beard to a little over a quarter of an inch to aid in a snug fit for the shell.

One day I looked down to the black jumper I was wearing and thought "I don't have dandruff" it was half my beard, It had just died, dried up and drifted down onto my chest like a miniature snow fall.

Apparently I also lost the downy hair at the nape of my neck, I'm reliably informed that that has returned.

Hair loss wise I got off fairly lightly. I miss my beard & moustache but there are still follicles there and where the area immediately under my chin was totally bald some stubble now grows, who knows what the future might hold ?
