has anyone ever shaved their head?

I did once (done almost anything there is to do with my hair... it's one of those things where I just thing "oh well, if I don't like it, it will grow back again!")!

It was heaven! The feel of your skull as the baby hairs (it will be baby hairs!) grow back again is amazing! And sooooo easy to clean!

At the moment I have strong urges to cut my hair REALLY short again... but I'm trying my best to resist (as my partner prefers me to have short hair... it's all about compromises... he gets his hair cut the way I like it, and I try to keep my hair girly, the way he likes it... after all, I see his hair more than he does, and he sees my hair more than I do!)

Also, if people have problems with thin hair... get a wig! Really, there are soooo many smart and gorgeous wigs out there, and they look completely natural! Even for people who just want a change, you can get nice wigs for a decent price. The three I've had cost me £30 each... one long dark curly one, one short (and REALLY smart) black one, and a red bob. Unfortunetly, they've all been lost moving over the years...

I don't think that I could ever shave my head bald but I did just get my hair cut very short this past Friday. I love it and I feel so much cooler now. My hair is baby fine but naturally curly so having is cut shorter and layered makes it now appear much thicker.

I see nothing wrong with shaving your head. If you want to, I think you should go for it. Shaving for the cancer thing would be great, I know people who do it. I also knew a group of boys who shaved their heads because a buddy had cancer. They didnt want him to feel quite so bad.

I personally don't have the nerve to shave my head. I know it's not about looks, but I already feel horrible about my looks, and I'm sure without hair I would feel so bad. It's probably wrong to think like that, but it's not intentional. I don't think other people with bald heads are ugly anyway. just not for "me"
