New here and TERRIFIED!!

Any thoughts on what I can say to the obvious impending questions?!?!?

"I got a haircut."

Why do you feel anyone is owed an explantation about your choice of haircut?

Welcome mate

Hopefully the shave goes well

[mrzed]

I was not balding. I just shaved my head. Pretty much, nobody said anything. Now i had been buzzing shorter and shorter over the period of a year or so.

But when i went from an inch to half an inch, no one said anything. Then i just took it shorter and shorter each month until i was bald as you see today.  I like the bald best! If i were to do it again, i'd go straight to bald.

I've dealt with this question for weeks. I usually say that I got a haircut. Honestly I kind of enjoy the attention. My friends that have adjusted greet me with "Hey, baldy!" to which I reply "What's up, hairy!"

Thanks for the comments everyone,

I suppose no needs an explanation for my haircut, it's just the worry of how to react to people's reaction to the fact on friday I had a full crown (concealed) then on saturday a very empty crown!

I love the 'what's up hairy' comment! :-)

Four days to go!!

:-)

I've related this before. A woman I know saw me the day before I shaved my head. At that point I had hair down to my shoulder blades. When she saw me the next day I had a shaved head. She said I looked different and asked if I had lost weight. The thing about this that always makes me grin is that she is a hairdresser.
Based on that experience I would guess that most people who know you won't even notice the empty crown.

Thanks for the reassurance Buddha,  I suppose it's really only huge in my own head and people will get over it pretty quickly and hopefully I'll be fine with it once I've finished this trip in a few weeks! :-)

Hey, I found something that will show what I might look like come Saturday but I can't seem to load the picture! Any idea what I'm doing wrong? :-)

[Hyperocker]

I'm using an iPad could that be the problem?

[Sir Harry]

I think that you have to use a laptop to upload pictures...not 100% sure though.

[Hyperocker]

OK, hopefully this has worked! Is this a vision of saturday afternoon?!?!

[smoothsailing]

looks good

[VOT]

Well if that is what you are going to look like you certainly have nothing to worry about

[Lynchy]

Looks great mate.

How are you liking it?

It will look even better when it's real!  You have nothing to be terrified of.

Go for it- I am totally BBC for almost one year- went from full head of hair with gel products etc to totally shaved. Daily shaver here to keep the look but well worth it- some will like it others have to just deal. It is your choice. Good luck and post a pic.
