I just went sly!

[shavedhead88]

Thanks so much for the support! I really appreciate all the encouragement.
I really love having my head shaved smooth. I grew it back to a very short buzz though. Both feels amazing, so I'm just going to alternate between the two. But I'm not growing it long again, that's definitely over. I'm tired of the shedding, and this feels so much better.
People's reactions have been ok so far, nothing too unexpected happened. What's weird though is that some people seem to feel that I have to somehow justify myself for making that choice. Which I don't. So that's rather annoying. I mean, I don't expect other people to explain themselves to me on why they choose to look a certain way. They have to like it, not me. So I just don't get that kind of attitude. oh, well...
also, I'm a very introverted and quiet person, so the attention I'm getting now isn't always easy for me. Getting used to it though.

Some people often feel the need to impose their opinions on you, whether invited or not.

Don't be surprised if living the Sly life causes you to become more confident in yourself.  If you're happy being introverted that's fine; but if you would like to be a bit more gregarious that can happen too.

Being Sly is very empowering.  Enjoy it to the max.

Looks good on you mate! Other people's opinions of your hairstyle choice aren't relevant. All that matters is if you like the way you look. I've just gone from a short buzz to full head shave for the first time so the next 30 days are going to be interesting / eye opening I think!

Adam, looks great. 30 days should post no issues for you.

Looks great either way- I shaved on weekend first time and then was very envoy's for work- but once you show up that way the buzz settles down pretty quick and people don't bring it up. Good luck with whatever you decide for now.
