I've had between 1/4"- 1" for some time now.... years..... so as this was a shock, it wasn't that much of a shock. I'm old enough now where I can say I'm happy with my shaved head and so is my hubby so don't give a rats a$$ what others think.
Most everyone that knows me just smiles....
The military is the only thing now I need to concern myself with. Have to have it 1/4" by drill time.
I'm at the three day shadow here....
Thanks for your post.

Hi Laura. I'm new here (2 week anniversary tomorrow). I have to say I wouldn't recomend to most woman that a shaved head would be attractive but I'm always amazed when I see one that I think "She has a pretty face". And you can definitely pull it off.

Welcome!! I lurk and pop in and out... hope to be more consistant here myself and I do appreciate the comments.
I think what I hope to achieve here most is demonstrate that some women have/like long hair and I like/have no hair. It's no big deal. Different but no big deal.
People need to get past their original perceptions- whatever they may be.
I'd like to think beyond the shaved head, I'm a fun loving broad with a great sense of humor.
Baldness isn't something that just men should enjoy.
Have a great summer- what's left of it!

Thanks Laura,
I hope that You can keep in touch with some of your those that You were overseas with. It took us a long time to get together again but we did it thanks to my buddy who put in the time to attempt to locate everyone. I found the reunions to be very rewarding.
I wish you the best of luck now and always.

Yep- with today's technology there's no excuse not to email and keep in touch. heaven forbid we'd ever have to go back to the archaic pen and paper!!
Facebook is excellent and lots of us stay in touch that way also.
Nice night out here in IL... hope same for you!

"People need to get past their original perceptions- whatever they may be."
Laura, truer words were never spoken. There are a number of posts on the Forum of guys who afraid that people will think they're skinheads or neo-Nazis or racists if they go sly. People make generalizations about others with no basis in fact and that's where the problems start.
You look great sly and I'm sure you're a good person. Anyone who would judge you because of your hairstyle is petty at best.

Thanks.... appreciate your thoughts.. if everyone only felt that way.
I have perceptions.. everyone does..it's hard going against what you've been told or raised with. I get that but it doesn't mean that is correct and putting that aside takes a serious dose of self-realization.
It's even harder being a chick.. a few more generalizations are cast out there but once again.... I don't give a rats behind.
I thank god I don't have a knob head and I try to be a good person.... not easy but I think I'm heading in the right direction each day. Life is short.
xoxoxo to you Sir and have a great day!

Wow... thanks!!! Your check is in the mail....
Just kidding but I do appreciate the comment. Makes up for all the "Sirs" I get..... it's rough being tall, no hair and not well endowed. Bad combination.
Dyed the stubble blonde this afternoon... it's 11 days until I shave again.
xoxoxo,

I think I like it natural better...if you want bald they should let you shave it.

Too much gray in the "natural" look.
People get freaked out by 1/4" as it is... I'm thankful I can keep it that short.
