You have a 8 year old who wants to have his head shaved?

Personally, I think he is a little young to be shaving his head. If you wanted to let him have his head buzzed that would be an entirely different story. That's just my opinion and again , welcome to SBG !

We're glad you could join us, jump right in and make yourself at home. As for your son, mine was 16 before he started shaving his head like dad, you could always buzz it for him to see what kind of reactions hell get from his friends, and then maybe he'll decid it wasn't a good idea at his age.

Just my 2 cents.

Maybe you could buzz your son down at the beginning of next summer, that way he gets to try, and no school hassles since he'll be w/ family and friends. We had a family when I was young that would shave their boys heads at the beginning of summer. My parents weren't into that, so I never got that preview.

Post by: Razor X on November 28, 2008, 01:50:52 PM: One of the problems with shaving an 8-year-old is that they don't always understand the consequences -- namely, if he doesn't like the result when it's done, he's going to have to live with it for a while until his hair grows back. In reality, hair grows back pretty quickly, but what seems quick to us can be an eternity to a kid that age.

What does his mother say? Usually they have the final word on this sort of thing. :)

Post by: xnewyawka on December 31, 2008, 12:17:02 PM: A late welcome to you Simon, and I can only echo what my sly bro's have said.
Definitely go with a buzz for your son. He's way too young for a head shave.

Keep yours smooth tho, bro. O0

Post by: DaithiSean on January 01, 2009, 05:06:48 AM: Welcome to the board.

I agree with the other posts, a buzz cut in the summer would be the ideal way for your son to try the sly way.

Post by: Noodles on January 06, 2009, 09:54:28 AM: Buzz is the word. At that age, he'll get plenty of feedback from his friends (hopefully more "+" than "-")

Then get his reaction to their reaction.

Post by: Tor on January 06, 2009, 12:42:54 PM: Welcome to our site. As for your 8 year old son, I wouldn't let him shave it,,,,I would maybe buzz it to a nice crewcut,,,,,depending on how long his hair is now. Good Luck.
