For the winter
« on: November 27, 2014, 07:36:56 AM »
Hi everyone,
given to the approach of winter which isn't too merciful here in France, I am starting second thoughts about shaving my head. I shaved my head for the first time with a hair clipper, on my own, about 3 weeks ago and now I've started to having hair around my bald crown. I know that shaving is indispensable to avoid the declination of my cephalic aesthetics but since I have had bouts of hypothermia couple of years ago I am hesitating to go with it. Any suggestions ?

It's much colder here in Canberra, Australia in winter than France and I find I usually manage without a hat and on really cold frosty mornings wear a woollen beanie. 

I love the phrase 'declination of my cephalic aesthetics'.  I'll have to use that in conversation.

I will agree with Theslybear....take a hat. Go into a shop, and choose one. At the start maybe you will feel strange(if never wear before), but after little days you will feel comfort and warm. :)

That is another one of the great things about having a buzzed or bald head - you can finally wear a hat in winter without having to worry about "messing up" your hair or having "hat head"!

I used to suffer from the cold winters here in Chicago because I didn't want to put on a hat and mess up my hair.  Now when I go outdoors I can pull on a nice warm knit hat - and when I pull it off indoors my "style" looks "fresh"!

I good newsboy cap should do the trick.  If you need your ears covered, a wool beanie will keep your head warm.  Winter shouldn't be an excuse to not shave your head.

When it is really cold outside like now, I wear a good old fashioned and warm wool stocking hat. They really keep your head and ears warm. I usually prefer not to wear a hat unless it is really cold outside.

A hat is certainly the way to go. A knit wool stocking cap is fine as is polar fleece. They wash easy and fit in a coat pocket. Most of my coats. Have a cap. In addition a nice felt hat adds a sense of style to and wardrobe.  Since your in France you might consider a French alpine hat.  A trilby or short brimmed fedora will do also.
