How to shave my head on 43 Things

How to shave my head by Zizzage

It took me

1 day

It made me

"It was totally worth it...ironically, I've never felt so beautiful in my life."

How I did it: I shaved it right after my high school graduation. I had a bunch of friends over and it was sort of a party. We put it in braids and cut them so I could donate them, then my friends went at what was left with scissors to get it shorter. My boyfriend then buzzed it down and then shaved it with my venus razor that I used on my legs. I used my garnier fructis conditioner instead of shaving cream and it worked really well. Right after the shave I went to the over-night party for graduates and enjoyed watching people do double takes. It was totally worth it, and it's also a lot of fun playing with different styles as it grows out.

My brother made a video and it's on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEDitKTGjQ4

Uhm, get a hat or a few, for protecting from the sun and for when you don’t want to be the center of attention.
Also, it took me longer than expected to actually accomplish the whole thing, probably because I had a lot of people over, but, yeah, give yourself time especially for the close shaving bit.

Haha! I know, part of me really wants to be bald again, but there’s that whole people thinking you have cancer and that’s kinda awkward. I also just want to grow it out for a while and play with lengths that I’ve never had it. I would not doubt that I will shave it again though.

Bald...

Is it just me or is being bald kind of addicting? I know it sounds dumb, but it’s so very addicting for me.

Wow

Wow, you look really good bald! I daresay you look even hotter than with hair, because it emphasizes your beautiful (and hot) face and gives you ‘attitude’. Cheers!

ChewKitty is really sleepy

Some people look strange when they shave their heads completely bald—You look wonderful!
Is that a mohawk I see in the one picture?
