Do you shave your head?

Post Reply New Topic

I usuually get my scalp buzzed for summer. With the kind of hair I have, and not to mention the rate at which it's thinning out on top, this is pretty much the only option. Most people have 1 crown at the back of their head. I have 2 crowns, for some reason. So it sticks up at the back. It's okay cause I still have my eyebrows.

Thanks for remimding me, OP! I'm heading off to the barbershop.

once in awile. im thinking about getting a buzzcut for the summer time

Yeah, for sure a ultra close crop counts. Thats what I do. You dont have to razor it.

Voted for "used to". Am a female, BTW.
Strictly speaking, have only had it done once, went to a hair place & had them do that flat-top buzz cut thing. It was 1992, I was 19 & it was just before I took a long bus trip, so was very convenient. Had been keeping my hair short & shaving the underside/lower half for a couple years, so was already halfway there.

Loosely speaking, I continuously had the underside/section shaved for several years (since early 1990's), while growing the top parts out. Loved the soft, fuzzy feeling when it had just been done-though loathed dealing with the electric clippers myself (plus the noise). Got to be too much hassle, also I was bored with it, so in 2000 (in my late 20's) I stopped-have been letting it all grow since then.

One thing I hadn't anticipated (or had forgotten about) was how painful it is when wisps of hair (that have some length to them) get snagged/tangled/pulled at nape of neck-that part was always shaved. Ouch !
Surprisingly, got more nasty comments (from total strangers just hollering at me out of the blue) when I had a bit of hair length hanging over shaved lower half of scalp than while I had the "complete" version (all same length-maybe an inch or two). Perhaps people perceived former as hairstyle choice (meaning "deviant to yell at", to them ?) and latter as "maybe she's sick and lost her hair, or had to shave her head for some involuntary reason" ? Bizarre, that people react so intensely, negatively, and publicly-about this, of all things!

I have goten some really bad haircuts where I wanted the barber to just shave it off...but nah...perhaps if I were slender and graceful looking, but i know I would not look good bald.

I do hate dealing with hair though.

I am female and I hate how society wants me to have long hair that is impossible to maintain or short hair that is even worse to maintain because they demand you use styling and so on... I want to shave my head, I wanted it since years, but I think hell would broke lose if I did. not only in my family but also because people would think I am a Nazi or something like that.

I've always had very short hair, and quite recently went to the number 3 about two months ago. I never styled it beyond "getting up in the morning." So when I went with a number three it was fantastic. My friend told me I looked like a dork. But hey... what do I care? I went a number 2 last trip and that seems the best tradeoff for ease of management (absolutely none) and comfort.

As of right now, I think I'm gonna stick with a "number 2" for the rest of my life

And I don't think I look like a nazi. I am white, but I aint exactly "angry looking." I have been told my default face is delighted contentment. Which is my expression.

I wore my hair very short (was mistaken for a boy several times) from 3rd grade until 10th grade, but I have never desired to shave it all off. If it all fell out, I probably wouldn't much miss it, but keeping my head shaved seems like it would be a tedious thing. I don't even like shaving my legs!

I got my hair "buzzed" once, but it was with the longest attachment the guy had (maybe a 6?) and it made for a nice, even cut that was very short, but not short enough that you could see any skin. For the most part it looked like a normal but very even haircut, and you couldn't really tell that it had been "buzzed"

For the most part I like it short and easy to manage, but buzzing was actually a bit too short for my taste. So now I just get it cut with scissors.

Someone yesterday showed me a youtube video of a girl getting a buzz cut and it actually looked really good. Probably not all girls can rock a buzz cut that looks awesome, but in some cases it can really work, I think.

Do you mean like shave it bald? no never lol.
