My Dad’s friend shaved his head recently. This only makes me eager for the day I get to do it. It seems so freeing and I know it’s much less hassle. I won’t have to worry about what my hair looks like. I won’t have to waste time drying it. I won’t have to keep that hairbrush in the Jeep to brush out all the tangles I get from riding with the windows or the top down. I won’t have to always have my hair up when the top is down. I won’t have to get hair out of my eyes, my sunglasses, and my mouth when I am driving with the top down. Oh the day just can’t come fast enough. My Dad went and got a hair cut today. He told the woman to make it shorter and it came out really short; it looks like he has a shaved and it feels the way I want my head to feel. My Dad says it feels a lot better. I can only imagine. I’m going to love rubbing my soft, fuzzy head after I get it shaved! I can’t wait!

How to shave my head
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.

More "How I Did It" stories
How I did it: I had a friend do it for me with an electirc shaver, I got a shot at it too! It was simple: I stood in the shower, off of course, and she started from the front and went back. It is difficult at first because the razor doesn't like to cut long hair. That just means that you will have to go over it again when you get most of the hair off. Read how I did it…
allexrut is excited!!
How I did it: got a friend to shave it with a cheap pair of clippers! my husband can't stop feeling my head. i get weird looks every now and then, but it's worth it to get such a fresh start! Read how I did it…
How I did it: I'd had it in the back of my mind to do this for years. Then after I had my daughter my hair was coming out in clumps, so one night I just had had enough and shaved it off. I then bleached it and spent a few months dying it crazy colours. Its been a year since then and I'm now growing it out which is a pain in the a*se!!! But still worth doing. Its only hair, it grows back! Read how I did it…
How I did it: Ok, so I didn't really mean to do it. But I got very drunk one night at a friend's party at it happened, not in my memory, but there is photographic evidence of me being a willing participant so there you go. Read how I did it…
AlyV feels like Skittles.
How I did it: I wouldn't do it again, but it was definitely worth it to try once. Never back out of doing something you want just because you think you might regret it. Even if you do, you can always say you had that experience. Read how I did it…

I had this on my list before and removed it. I’m adding it back now because the date that I’ve had set to do this is coming up in about two months. I’ve had the date set for years.
This last week my hair finally grew out to my hips, so as much as it pains me to say it, I must with my hair a fond farewell. BUT… here’s the catch. It seems another person on this site wants to run a fundraiser to shave her head as well, so if I can get my head shaved along with hers in the next 2 months or so it’s all coming off, but if not, I will cut a sizeable chunk off (say to my shoulders) and donate that instead.
I’ve decided that I definitely want to do this, and I planning to do it in about a year. My friends and family are gonna flip out, but I don’t care; it’s my hair. A collection of dead skin cells on top of our heads shouldn’t be the end all and be all. Over the next year I’m gonna try to fund raise a little for cancer research and grow my hair out so I can donate it when the time comes.
I’ve thought about doing this for a long time – over a year now. But all of a sudden I had to strong urge to shave it all off now. But the thing is, I’ve learned not to trust my impulse because it usually leads me in the wrong direction and I end up regretting what I do (for the most part).
I know for sure I will shave my head sometime in my lifetime but I just don’t know when. I am currently a senior in high school and I planned to do this in my freshman or sophomore year of college. But is now a perfect time to do this? I am nervous about shaving my head while I am still in school, especially since I am a girl. I am scared of others judging me, especially if it turns out bad (in college, I’m not so concerned; it’s high school I’m nervous about). It’s kind of ironic b/c the main reasons I am doing this is to boost my confidence, see how others treat me, to see what it’s like and for charity as well.
I really am almost terrified about doing this right now. I guess I’d only have to worry about being bald for only less than a month since school is ending soon.
True, I could do it during the summer but at the same time I want to see how people in school would react!
So, I do want to do it now, but I also don’t.
What do you think I should do?
I figure I’m slowly losing my hair, and will probably look better with a shaved head than with male pattern baldness.

ok so i’ve done it before years ago but now I have dreads that are longish (till my shoulders) but today I’m doing it. I’m gonna get a close buzz cut not fully shave cos it’s autumn and when I shave my head is a totally different colour to my face which gives it a weird look. They told me at the hair salon that I could keep my dreads and maybe later put them back..ummm weird but interesting. It’s just I know this sounds weird but I feel like all this negative karma and energy is in my hair and I just want it off. FUCK IT AND THEM I WANNA LIVE MY LIFE AGAIN. I know this sounds sooo corny but it’s gonna be like a rebirth for me. I’m starting afresh. I just want it off. I’m just worried about whether my face suits it though but I guess that’s the beauty of change you never know what’s gonna turn out. Gone are the days of normalcy..Gees I’m taking this hair cut to some crazy level. I guess that’s the indication of the kind of space I’m at right now. Like I’ve said I have done it a loong time ago one thing I remember is feeling free. To all those that are a bit scared just go for it. It’s not like your hair isn’t going to grow back :)I’ll send pics
I can’t wait to do this. It’s my way of saying f*ck the world, I do what I want!
kwdobson is very full
i want it to come out looking like this:
but i’m afraid it will just end up looking like this:

TajLV asks,
“I hate haircuts, but I am afraid that shaving my head bald will require more frequent shavings/cuts than having hair. After all, I shave my face once a day. It grows back fast. How often do you have to tend to a bald head to keep it looking good/clean?”

Eric Hamilton asks,
“What do you use to shave your head??? A straight blade razor, like you shave your face?? Or should I try an electric razor?? Which is least painful and would irritate my head the least?? :) Also, I'm really scared that I'm gonna look friggin retarted”
