VP shunt placement and hair care

Heyy everyone! So I have IIH with paps, I'm scheduled for VP shunt placement soon and im looking for advise about my hair.

I have really long, thick hair. It reaches to the bottom of my lower back.

So my question is, should I get a shorter hairstyle before I go in? Would this make hair care after surgery more manageable?

What has been all of your experience?
