There are days where I absolutely hate my hair. It's very fine,has split ends,just hangs there,has no body what so ever,and sometimes I think "I just want to shave it off,and start fresh. Am I alone in this? Have you ever shaved your head? If you did,did you wear a wig till it grew back?

I used too. I stopped when I realized I looked like a cross between Uncle Fester and a ninja turtle

my sister did once, and she looked so awesome I considered it but went no further

Fuck no... just get a short cut & keep it movin!

I'd love to be brave enough.

my wife did, it looked hot.

I dated a girl that did too, but she was nuts.

Not my entire head but sections

Yup, I did it, twice. I totally loved it - no hair maintenance, and it was so much cooler in the summer. I don't think I have any pictures handy right now, or I'd post them. I never wore a wig, though some days I wore pretty bandanas. I just made sure I wore lipstick every day so I didn't get mistaken for a man.

about a couple summers ago i had a mohawk, so the sides of my head were buzzed real close. it was kinna nice because my head stayed cooler when it was blazing outside...haven't gone full-on bald. i'd look too odd.

I've had it cut really low but never shaved. I would really like to but I'm afraid of how my head is shaped

I wore my hair in a very short style, but not shaved since I have a large noggin, and a very round face. If you have a more diamond shaped face, you can pull off a shaved head.

You could have just attached a cold flannel to your head.

No

I would really hate to have to because I have an odd-shaped skull (I believe).

However, at the rate that I'm losing hair, I may not have a choice.

Its hot , nuff said

Now picture Rosie O'Donnell with that hair cut..... nuff said.

I have considered it. But I usually end up going to the salon and get a good deep conditioning.

paintedlady said:

yes, you need to be pretty damn gorgeous to pull off bald, I think

So for the ones that have,did it come back a different color or texture? Such as you had straight hair,and it came back curly or you had brown hair,and it came back blonde?

EmeraldSkies said:

Nope, it came back just the same. Except there was no damage, of course, since it was brand-new hair.

I cut it all the way to the scalp before, I loved that free feeling even tho a lot of my friends didn't like it. To hell with them, it eventually grew back to my shoulders. DO YOU.

I almost always keep my hair short. In about a month I had what you could call a short pixie cut, like this:

I've seen it done in real life by a beautiful woman I once knew... It can be done. I think Natalie Portman, Erykah Badu and Sinead O'Connor have done variations on the look to nice effect.

Actually my sister did it once, I thought it was awful. She didn't compensate by wearing makeup or anything else to enhance her femininity. She would just walk around w/ no makeup, no earrings, round/unshapely, w/ this bald fucking head Honestly, it was hard to look @ her for that stretch
