Grey’s Anatomy – Did Amelia Really Shave Off Her Hair?

Kevin McKidd and Caterina Scorsone on Grey's Anatomy (ABC/Richard Cartwright)

On the Grey’s Anatomy episode “Ain’t That a Kick in the Head,” while Meredith (Ellen Pompeo) deals with the aftermath of her conversation with Nathan, Amelia (Caterina Scorsone) prepares for her brain surgery to be performed by her professor, Dr. Tom Koracick (Greg Germann). Preparation involves shaving a patch of her long hair. In the promotional photos (like the one above), the effects of shaving look very real.

In a sneak peek video like the one below, we see Amelia bringing the electric razor to her scalp and then we watch long tresses falling but we don’t actually see her move the razor across her scalp. Based on the photo Scorsone posted of herself days before the episode (below), it doesn’t appear that she really did. Grey’s Anatomy airs Thursdays at 8pm on ABC.

I’m in my trailer. The world is seeming pretty bleak. But I’m still capable of choosing to generate and exist in a frequency of love. This is because I create each moment of my experience. And my experience responds to that which I create. Please join me. Feel love. Feel hope. Smile before you have a reason to and the reason may appear. Let’s change ourselves and see how that change effects the world. In both subtle and more concrete ways I have found that when I hope, I am more likely to push through the inertia and take a loving action or inspire one in someone else. If congress doesn’t know how to push past feelings of fear and lack, we can start leading by example. Don’t be afraid to love before you have evidence that love is reasonable. Love first, now and forever.
