At first I knew my regular customers, neighbours, and coworkers would be shocked. However, its going on 4 months and people still stare at me and make somewhat rude comments.  At least once a day a customer goes "What the heck possessed you to shave your head?" or "You look like you'd have a full head of hair, you're silly to shave it." Plus all day long I have to hear people say how shiny it is. Yes I know its shiny --- move on!

When I first shaved my head, a customer went "You looked hideous with blue hair and look hideous bald."

You hear about women being body-shamed all the time and while you can't compare my experience to what women go through, it still feels like an attack on my appearance.

Rude people are going to be rude.  While I may ask a friend or acquaintance about a new hairstyle, beard style, tattoo, or piercing, I would never throw out my opinion if it was negative.  I would either keep my mouth shut or give a compliment.  But, I would take the shiny comments as compliments, even if they were not meant to be compliments.

I used to hate hot weather I was always hot and sweated profusely but now I don't run my air conditioning as cool a when I'm out the heat I actually enjoy the heat now it feels great if I had known that I would have shake my head the re years ago .  I've got a great tan now and I'm enjoying being bald.

I didn't expect to feel comfortable with it instantly and that I didn't feel a need to where a hat the first time out. Other haircuts like getting a flattop for the first time, I wore a hat!
