Red face Hair Loss!!

I know this has already been discussed but I just feel compelled to start a new thread about it. I'm soooo scared about the possibility of losing my hair! I can deal with vomiting, diarrhea and even pain from surgery but what terrifies me is the HAIR LOSS!

I think my hair is by far my BEST feature. It's curly but twice a year I get it chemically straightened (Japanese Hair Straightener -- very expensive but so worth it) and I blow dry it under (sort of like Jennifer Aniston) or I flip it out. On a fun day, I curl it with a curling iron or do big, soft waves. It's really thick and soft and shiny. I know I'm going to be soooo upset if I lose it. I'm trying to prepare myself for that very real possibility but I just hope it isn't too bad for me.

I can deal with temporary hair loss (even for a year or longer) as long as I know it's only temporary, but my biggest fear is this will be an on-going issue. Does it eventually grow back or do you always have to worry about hair loss?
