You guys are a bad, bad influence :) -- I did it, I'm bald!
« on: June 29, 2008, 09:50:12 PM »
Well... I did it. Ditched the wig and shaved everything bald today. Wow. Also, felt raindrops on my newly sly head tonight. Another Wow. Tomorrow should be an interesting day at work. Haven't run into anyone yet in the neighborhood. Family says the like it, although my young kids were a little unsure at first -- thought daddy looked "funny."

Will post a pic probably tomorrow. Thanks for all of your support and words of experience http://www.slybaldguys.com/smf/index.php?topic=6056.0.

Here's to new-found freedom and a great new look. Hope it was a good decision -- in any case, too late now! :)

NWTRNR

p.s. How long does it take for the skin color to balance out?

Congrats and well done!  You should also post a before pic up too, they are always good to see, if you like that is.

Now I'm wondering, if we're this bad of an influence on here, how bad are we going to be on each other and everyone around us in Chicago?

I'm glad you took a step to make yourself happy.

I'm sure the people who knew you wore a wig, will respect you more.  Those that didn't know should respect you as well, since they think you shaved a full head of hair.  Either way, they will realize you are not self conscious.

Good job, and good luck.

Good luck today!!! I'm sure most, if not all comments will be positive. Remember, don't get discouraged by negative comments.... it's a big change for those around you as well as you.

See... what did we tell you?  I can't wait for the photos, be sure to post some before and after shots. 

That over all skin tone will depend on your normal coloring and the darkness of your shadow.  Give it some time, but go slowly.  Use sunscreen.
