my story is kinda weird i guess, i never really thought about going bald since i have a very very full head of hair, if i grow it out its almost a afro, however i was put in a spot where i was going to have ear surgery and the doctor said we are gonna have to shave part of my head for it, being in the medical field all ready i knew that post surgery i'd have to keep the area clean, dry, deal with tape and bandages and i didn't want to deal with just a bald spot (no matter how big it was), so i started thinking about just shaving my whole head, be easy to take care of while healing, would look better and have some perks and after my head heals the hair can grow in all at once. so i started looking around and found St. Baldricks organization, (shave your head to raise money for childrens cancer) and decided that if i did it i'd do it for them, so i made a video on facebook calling out all those people who did ice bucket challenge as trying to be cool kids instead of giving money to charity, had several people donate money to childrens cancer, and shaved my head haha. all ready had all the tools to do it since i cut my own hair to start with and after i did it, my s/o liked it, she loved my hair but she likes dome too (she supported me knowing about the surgery and all) and then my surgery got pushed back a little over a month so i kept my head shaved for longer than i thought haha, and it grew on me, i'm sure i'll grow it out someday but right now its fun and exciting and i'm experiencing something new. just going with it,
just wanted to say hi and the only question i really have is... does your head break out more when your newbie and everntually stop also my head feels greasy but i can't tell if its greasy or just more sensitive to cold air
Welcome!
As far as the breakouts, it varies from person to person. That's why there is the 30 day rule to give your scalp time to adjust to being shaved regardless of how often you do it. Good luck with the surgery!
