I don't think it changes individuality. I know I am not defined by my hair or lack thereof.I do believe it takes quite a strong individual to initially shave it off So I may say it takes MORE of an individual when its his first time. After shaving it though, its pretty easy to keep it that way...haha.
The military has done countless studies the subject of hair's association to identity. Based on my interpretation of how I heard those studies, I believe a person choosing a hair style is an extension of his/her identity and when that choice is not there the person will lose some identity. So if a person chooses to shave their head, it makes them more individualistic, if they had no say in the decision it is a loss of identity.
since we're talking appearance here: my next 'feat' will be to start wearing a kilt (not kidding, I'll do it at least semi-regularly) I think either a shaved head or long hair goes very well with that.
I'm not scottish, I just think kilts are awesome.
