Well, I deleted the first topic I created, so the actual first topic that I created that is still around is the #2 topic - Sunscreen. http://www.slybaldguys.com/smf/index.php?topic=2.0

I think because it was the end of July, this was an important subject in my mind.

Professor Melon:
 :) Shiny, after looking at your before and after pics, I am very glad you've taken the plunge and joined the site. A clean, neat, totally bald head beats all other contenders. I took it off because I got tired of taking supplements, messing around with hairspray,  fearing the wind, and the bedraggled professor look. There was some initial shock or disconnect, but it's gone now, in just over three months. I doubt I'll ever attempt to regrow what's left of my hair. I am looking forward to the pleasure of being a chrome-dome in the hot months, when our hairy friends are sweltering. Professor Melon

Shiny:
Thanks prof!  I can't wait for spring and summer either.  I just got back from a road trip down to the southern interior of BC,  (Canada's desert region).  It's winter there of course but the daytime temp on the day I was there was 2 degrees celcius.  I had come out of -15 C so it felt really nice and I went bare-bean and loved it.  Now I am back in -15 and depressed.   :'(  Can't wait for those warm spring days with the sun shining down on me and me shining back up at it   O:O

my reason for shaveing my head bald was simple...i am the only one of three generations of my family to inherit they losse my hair Gene ...it comes from my mothers side of my family not my fathers..they are all thick strong hair..my hair is baby fine..as they choose to type my hair in my past barber visits...i had long hair for several years but it stayed in a pony tail..Before i joined the Navy still in high school a freind who found out she had Cancer was going to loose her hair during treatment...she always would tell me she wished she could have hair like mine ..so i gave it up and she got her wish...after looking back shiny fit me better than with hair and was going to have it wacked off in boot camp so i put my to good use..lol O0 O0 O0 :) :)

Vash:
I started shaving my head because I have a comparatively mild case of Psoriasis. It manifests for me as REALLY thcik patches of danfruff whereever I grow much hair. The dandruff is unsightly and itchy as all get out. Scratching of course leads to scratching, which means lots of flakes on the clothes and even bleeding and it all gets pretty ugly.

So, I just gave up and shaved it.

I'm not "losing" my hair at all, but it grows in pretty thick and very curly, so having ANY hair on my head, starts the process. It gets expensive and troublesome to use the prescription shampoos and stuff necassary to keep the Psoriasis in check and they rarely work for long.

Shaving is not only cheaper and easier, but I think it's a good look for me to boot  O0
