Today marks day #30 for me of being sly, and it's taught me a lot. Specifically:
I completely understand the need for the 30 day rule. For about the first three weeks I went back and forth every other day thinking I was really happy that I had shaved my head or that it was a really dumb idea and I looked stupid. By around the fourth week, I felt like I had finally gotten comfortable with my new look.
It was a lot harder to stick with it than I thought it would be, but I'm glad that I did.
People's reactions tended to be more positive or more restrained than I expected. I'm at the point now where the comments don't really faze me anymore.
And finally, I'm not sure I knew what I would do after I initially went sly. I think I figured that it was just another new haircut and I would eventually grow it out again. I now realize that I love being bald, and I have no plans to stop shaving anytime soon. I just want to say thanks to Tyler for starting SBG, for the wealth of information here, and for the support and positive feedback from everybody here!
