Friends who tell you that you look better growing your hair
« on: October 01, 2016, 06:54:27 PM »
How do you deal with friends who tell you that you look better when you grow out your hair? To me, it's sort of saying I look better in my 20s than I do in my 30s but they still insist that I should let my thinned out hair grow long, which is what was causing my insecurities and depression.

It doesn't matter what they think.  All that matters is that you are happy with the way you look.

Some people can't help themselves telling others what they should do, look like etc.  I bet your female relatives would not be impressed if you commented negatively on their hairstyles.  Go with what you want.

They will get use to the new look in a short time.  It's what you like that matters,and you look fine.

After more than 3 years of going BBC, only 1 or 2 old friends still don't like it. Everyone else has accepted it as my new normal. Especially everyone I have met since I shaved my head, I think they assume I have major male pattern baldness and just shave the rest.

When asked, there are alot of reasons I have for staying bald, but I just say " I like how it looks and feels, and I'm keeping it". No other explanation required.

I have the same view on this as Reddog.

 I have friends who say that and I know that they are right.    And so grown some hair back.  But I still love and miss th "feel" and the cleanliness of a nice  fresh shaven head and I still have the strong urge to do it!

So, Semi-sly, do you have the h&t flatty again. I recently grew mine back to the flattop for 5 weeks, but gave in again to the urge to shave. I just can't get used to the white hair on my head again, I really think it makes me look older.

What I tried to say was hello where dog yes I do have the Hyatt I Flatty again.

 I have to admit that looks better on me .   I have to admit it makes my face look less round .   I have to admit that I look younger with the flat top 10 shaved .   Know that I am becoming a professional barber is better that I have hair.   I already have quite a number of regular customers at the barber School to me for flattops because they can see that I appreciate them  and know. be done .

 But I still love getting and having a nice clean shaved .   And now that I have the Andis Lithium Profoil shaver as an alternative to blade shaving it is not  a hassle to keep it nice and clean .

 Right now Inam in the hospital being treat d will h IV infusions of  strong antibiotics.   If this stuff doesn't real number of my hair like it has in the past at least till have a good excuse to shave my head again for a while !😇
