Well over the years I have posted many times the things that I hate or have hated about being bald. Well I thought it was about time to look for some positivity and I thought I would post what I believe are some of the great things about being SLY.
1) I love shaving! I used to hate it and recently decided to get myself a 'routine'. Warm water in shower, apply shaving cream, shave head and face, enjoy warm water on dome for a bit, feel for any rough bits and sort, apply exfoliating wash, massage head and face, spash cold water on head and face, moisturise.
2) Bald not balding. When I was obviously losing my hair people used to comment. I once remember being over with some mates when I was about 27. One of the guys sitting behind me said, hey I can see your horseshoe! At that moment, I knew that SLY was the way to go. Since then people have asked why I shave my head, but other than that the comments have stopped completely. The main critic now is me!
3) The element of surprise. There is no doubt that bald gives you an intimidating edge. Well I am 6ft 4 tall, and a fairly muscular build. Yet I am a massive softy. I had an incident in a wine bar recently where someone came in really drunk, as he was leaving he thought I commented and decided to come over and try it on. My heart was racing, but as I stood up calmly and slowly and realised his head barely reached my chest the words, we'll leave it there shall we, seemed to diffuse the situation somewhat!!
4) The sport factor. I love playing sport. I feel so much cleaner with a shaved head.
5) The sun burn factor. I can protect my head, protecting my balding head was just messy
6) Being in control. Occasionally my Dad will ask me why I dont grow my hair out a little. It is so nice to say well I dont, because I dont want to!
7) This website. Almost a reason in itself to be SLY
I am sure there are many more. So what do you love about being SLY?
