Mothers

[Miller1989]

How did everyone's mother react to their clean-shaven head? My mom was a professional and very talented with both men's and women's cuts, so she had cut my hair all my life. The bald head definitely wasn't her fave at first, but she got over it and thought I looked just fine. She'd even ask me if I was shaving it with a regular razor and shaving cream or an electric razor, if I was moisturizing it and remembering sunscreen, etc.

My mom passed shortly after I first started shaving my head, so she never saw me without hair. She most likely would not have liked it. My dad, who passed over 40 years ago would have liked it. In the 70's, when long hair was popular he was always bugging me to get a crewcut.

Moms typically do not like their son's with a shaved head.  Or a beard.  I am of the opinion that toa mom a shaved head, or a beard, is more evidence that their little boy has grown up.  They go as far as to like the look of a shaved head or beard on other men, but not their own son.  Over time, my mom accepted that I was going to continue shaving my head and growing my beard (3 years or so).  The negative comments eventually stopped, but I don't think she ever like either.

My mother was shocked and horrified when I first buzzed my hair  and I was already in my early 20s then.
That was years before I shaved bald for the first time and the reaction by then was more subdued but still not approving
