Title: This is the first day!
Post by: Shaun1988 on October 15, 2013, 01:41:46 PM

Hi, all
     I decided to go bald last night! well, the picture is not that good. Hopefully I can hold on 30 days rule consistently. And I am from China. It is really hard to shave my head, for my hair is really hard ( am i using the right word? I mean stiffness？）anyways...I have full head of hair, and I think I am bald by choice! one more question...how to upload a picture?

Welcome. I'm Bald by Choice, too. 

To help with hard/stiff hair, take a hot shower first, or use a washcloth soaked in hot water to soften the hair. A shampoo or other warm compress to the head can help with this.  If you swim, shave your head after the swim. Any of these will soften the hair and make a shave easier.

Welcome Shaun. 
Yes, we call that kind of hair "coarse." I agree it is harder to cut and shave.  Making sure to soak it with very warm water is necessary to shaving it easily.

Welcome aboard Shaun. You wear bald really well. Happy to have another Asian bald brother here. Why settle for 29 days when you can go for 29 year years and beyond

Hi,
    I have a question....how do you keep warm in the winter....recently, there was a temperature dropping....I feel so cold on my head...so cold.....every night I feel my head is like ice cold...So does that mean I need to warm a hat for the rest of the autumn and winter all day long?!

Hi Shaun, if the cold is too much, a warm beanie would do the trick to keep your head warm.

Shaun,

I live in New England and my head is very sensitive to the cold.  If I walk outside in the winter without a hat, I instantly react and turn and go back inside for cover.  I've got a great collection of hats that do the trick in keeping me nice and warm.

Shaun,

You look great.  I'm glad to hear that the sly look has gone international  ;D  I agree with the other posters that a beanie is very helpful in cold weather.
