hi. i m a 15 year old girl. i recently fell ill and was in bed for a week. while i was having the sickness, my hair dropped out in patches each day for no apparent reason. i went to see the doctor who told me to see a hair specialist who in turn told me that i was having a hair condition. in the end, so many patches fell out that i ended up cutting me hair. it's now been 2 days since then and i've been feeling very depressed and empty inside. was it very wrong of me to cut my hair? what can i do to repent now..'cos i m seriosly very upset and depressed.

Dear One! Your hair was cut for a medical reason, not for an ego-idea. Talk to the doctors about what you need to do to get your hair to grow back in all places, and while you are at it, get yourself a good liquid mineral supplement. Hair depletion at your age can be an indicator of mineral depletion in the body.

Meanwhile, I know it is hard to be happy about cutting your hair under these circumstances. But you have not cut it to be fashionable or in resistance to Guru. There is nothing to forgive. So let it go and get well grow it all back and know that you are still Guru's princess throughout the time it takes to grow back.
