Title: Thinking is shaving it all off again!
Post by: oakdan5 on August 08, 2015, 09:23:05 AM
About two years ago from this time I shaved off all my hair, I was an NW3. I let it stay shaved for about a month as I couldn't get use to it. I mixed reactions. A lot of girls actually liked it, with some not. Most of the crap I got was from co-workers. At the time, I did t have the confidence to not let it get to me. Right now I have the itch again. Mostly cause I'm in Florida and with this humidity and thin hair it looks like a rats nest, but I know it's getting that time where it needs to go. Been doing the NW3 concert forward thing for too long, it keeps me from doing too many things. Going go to a barber this afternoon as I am currently away from home on work. Here is what it looked like last time.

Welcome back.

If you want to shave it again, do it.

Well I can see I wrote that fast, a lot of grammatical errors lol! Well, I went ahead and did it, had the itch. Feeling both positive and negative about it, looks the same as before, going to try to stick to it this time.

Welocme.  Remember the 30 day rule.  That itch is hard to ignore!

Well from your photo with the buzzcut I cannot see why you wouldn't want to shave it.  You have a nice head, a nice face and nice skin --- so show them off!

BTW; where in Florida are you?

Thanks for the replies. I feel much more comfortable this time, and my co-workers will probably not give me as much crap, but I don't care either way. I have advanced a lot in my career and recently finished a Master's degree, so I feel a lot more self confident than when I did last time and care less about looks.

Right now I am near Destin Fl, at Eglin AFB for about a month. But I live in phoenix so no matter where I go it is hot lol.

The comments will stop as soon as they realize that you aren't going to react to them.  Hang in there; it will get better.

If you want to shave, just do it.  Don't be influenced by comments.  They come with any change.

If your job allows it, add some facial hair too.  And don't forget sunscreen.

It's always a good decision to just shave it all off. Go for it & stay bald.

Regards,

Don't mind what your coworkers say. Shave your head and keep it for at least 30 days. Your coworkers will stop their comments before you have reached the 30 days  ;)
