If the photos of Tatiana on replies 402 and 404 are from shortly after her 1913 post-typhoid head- shaving (as I think her and Nicholas' looks and positioning in 404 suggest ), then I'm thinking that having her hair cut very short would be a better description of what happened than a complete head shaving. Her hair couldn't have grown to the length shown shown in these two photos , which I suspect were taken about two weeks after her illness at most, if Tatiana had had a completely smooth head shave. Nicholas really does look like he's supporting his recently ill daughter in reply 404.
