shave my head

i love my new head! i always hated my hair, its thin and i cant do anything with it. i had wanted to shave it off for a long time but never had the guts. but i did it and im keeping it this way for now.

I had my head shaved a week ago. Feels nice and it’s a relief to have very uncomplicated hair. Somehow liberating. I didn’t regret this decision even once.

i should have my head shaved by mid august.
im getting nervous!!!!!!!!!!

My appointment is next Thursday! I’m looking forward to it, but I’m getting kind of nervous too.

But I don’t really count the last time because I used a guard (the lowest setting), and so it wasn’t officially bald. So this time I am going to shave it clean and smooth. At the moment, I have a bump (I think it’s a bug bite) on the back of my head so I’m waiting for it to go away before I shave.

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!

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?
