Title: Just went sly from chicago
Post by: Sockman on July 22, 2011, 02:32:08 PM

Hello everyone. I'm 24 years old and never really had a great hair line but It was pretty ok until I hit 19. After that every hair cut seemed to look worse and worse, and what used to be happy experience turned into a depressing one. I was being told my hair needed to be cut because it looked messy, then being told right after the barber messed my hair up because he pushed my lining back to far. I felt like I was tossing my money in the trash every time I went to the barber.

So yesterday the time came to cut my hair again and instead of going to the barber I grabbed my old clippers and just shaved the whole thing off. Do I have the right head for this?

Thanks guys. The reaction has been a bit tough from a few female family and female friends but I'm getting through it. One girl thinks I look too much like a thug, but being a black male that sorta just a given stereotype no matter what I do so I don't really mind. No one who meets me thinks I'm a thug at all. (I'm actually a pretty thin guy as I've lost 40lbs due to stress from work over the year so I know that was just her shocked reaction)

On a positive note I posted my new picture on facebook book and haven't received any openly negative replies. A few "omg's or "lols you're bald?" but that sounds like mostly surprise. The same girls who were obsessed with me before still seem obsessed with me now so I'm pretty glad I saved the 20 bucks and just shaved the whole thing off.

One thing I noticed is that it actually feels really good this way and no one even stared when I went outside. I think I'll def keep it this way from now on. However, I do admit I'm really liking how my shadow looks and I'm considering  getting this done in the future http://www.hishairclinic.com/category/videos/ so I hope you guys won't kick me out.

Thanks for the warm welcome!
