I let my hair grow back a month or two ago and have not shaved it since , do to the cold winter weather . Thinking of shaving it off all off again, getting sick of my thick hair plus like my head shaved. Any advice shaving your head during winter? Not sure if shaving my head will be good during the colder months like this.

Do it! It's as good as any time of the year.

I believe there is never a bad time of year to shave your head.

Well, now you realize what an addiction a shaved head can be. You don't say where you live, but for me, I wear a fleece beanie if it's below 40F, and I'm going to be out for more than 5 10 minutes. It's easy it folds up in my coat pocket. And I've got a nice shiny dome to reveal when I pull it off--love the looks I get when people don't expect it.

The worst part of shaving in the winter is when your toque (Its a Canadian thing) rides up because your head is so smooth.
The BEST part? Just one day of stubble and that sucker is LOCKED IN PLACE.

I'll get my beanie(that's not a LA term, and we do use a lot of French words here but toque isn't one of them) pulled down tight enough it doesn't pop off. But I'll never put up with stubble, aka velcro, just to avoid pulling the beanie down. On the other hand we never have to deal with the cold you guys do.

LOL agreed, but I tend to be a little lazy in my head shaving sometimes, and now that I think of it there was this one time I almost snapped my own neck putting on a sweater that got caught on the "Scalp Velcro."
Explain THAT one to the medical examiner...

I also dislike trying to keep a knit cap in place on a slick melon, but it's preferable to enduring an entire day with stubble. I don't feel clean if I haven't shaved.

Since it's been a couple of months with your hair grown back, I would recommend you wait till the weather warms up a little. Your head will freeze if you shave it now. It's like when I had a beard and I shaved it in February; my face froze! My head and face now are accustomed to the cold and it doesn't bother me. Just don't forget us Sly Bald Guys and what your were meant to be come the spring!
Next winter don't let your hair grow back!

I would agree with ChallengeMe: if you keep SLY through the winter you hatdly notice the cold, but once you've let the hair grow back your scalp will become 'weak' and soft and will hate to be exposed to the wintry weather.
If you don't mind feelin a bit chilly up top, then go for it, otherwise leave it till slightly warmer weather.

Shaving in the Winter is pretty much like shaving any other time. You may need to apply a bit more lotion if you feel you have very dry skin.
Just be sure to wear your beanie/skully/toque, knit cap or whatever you prefer to call it. It really makes all the difference.

I think winter is a GREAT time to shave your noggin. Your tan has faded so there's a lot less difference between your face and your scalp.
If you want to be bald, get bald!

I shave every day as I cannot stand the velcro feel - - - -the damn knitted hat slides off and I put it back on - -Just one of the advantages of being "SEXY BALD"

Hey Geg,
No doubt about it, this has been a cruel cold one in the northeast
But, being SLY is an ALL WEATHER DO
There is nothing better for me than that brisk air on the dome
Good Luck...Only 10+ weeks for pitchers/catchers
