Hi,  Well to answer your question it feels strange really strange but still is awsome.  I went to tne barber shop after school just before practice started.  When I put my helmet on it was really loose so the coach had to add air.  The really neat thing is that when I run I can now feel the breeze flowing through my helmet so its a lot cooler.  Otherwise so far I hate it,  I feel really self concious and naked but I kinda expected that.  I think when I get used to how I look now I may keep it awhile.

Yeah, it takes a bit to get used to it, but once you have, you'll likely feel a lot more comfortable.  Get past your own initial shock to it, and you'll be far less self-conscious.

And welcome to SBG!

The change in appearance is usually a shock in the beginning, so try not to form any opinion about it for a while.  Stick to the 30 day rule and then decide.  I'm sure you won't be the only one on the football team with a shaved or closely buzzed head.   And if you are, you won't be for long because I'm sure some of the other guys will follow your lead.

Try to keep it shaved for a while.  If you can get used to being bald now, it won't be such a scary thing if you have to shave your head when you're older, like a lot of us have to do.

Welcome Jordon!  All these guys have had great advice.
You'll get used to it in no time.

[Christian]

So you did it! Cool! Hope you like your new look! And I am pretty sure you get used to the bald head. Think it's a great decision. Give us some pics!

As others said in here ... stay bald for 30 days and then decide if you want to keep the bald look!

Welcome to SBG's jordon.

I agree with the other guys, you should give it a bit of time to get used to it.
It was a more drastic change for you since you didn't buzz it down like a lot of fellas do at first.
I believe in time you will come to like it, especially being a football player. It lends itself to the look, and is a heck of a lot cooler and easier to manage.

Good to hear that your Dad was behind you too. That's usually one of the obstacles the younger guys face.

Good luck and I hope you keep it "smooth".
