Hey there.
The most obvious negative reaction Ive had was when I was talking to the girlfriend of a friend of mine in a pub last year. Shes of middle eastern extraction, my friend is a white guy, who himself has had a shaved head in the past. So, I was talking to her and my friend turns up and tells me to take my hat off (I often wear a flat cap). I did so and she never said a word to me for the rest of the evening. For the record, I am absolutely not racist or right wing or anything like that, and it came as something of a shock to me. Still dont understand it to this day and havent seen my friend since so I dont have an explanation, but I no longer expect one.

Sorry that you lost friends, but if they stopped talking to you because of your hairstyle, it's their loss
-
Indeed, I couldnt believe it. Their loss as you say. :)

Yes, people are different sometimes. There is a couple that have been best friends of mine since I was a teenager. She hates my shaved head and after 4 years, she just can't accept it. Now I hardly see or hear from them. But as you say, if something as simple as a hairstyle caused that, too bad, their loss.
-
Her reaction was very peculiar, especially if her boyfriend had a shaved head at times in the past.
-
Lots of shaved heads in the Middle East. Jews and Arabs go bald... and young. Many men just shave it. So, probably is just a personal thing.
-
One of my pet peeves is when others feel/think they have a right to determine how someone else should look. Who do they think they are?! It's one thing to have an opinion, but another to pass judgment.

I second BigKen's statement. I see what I think are some hideous hairstyles but keep my mouth shut. Why hurt a person over something as superficial as hair or lack of it?

If your "friends" left you because of your choice of haircuts - thank God you found out now how shallow they are and that you are well rid of them!

Not to mention how lousy they are
