Since my late twenties I wanted to shave but always chickened out and ended up with a 3mm cut till my 50th birthday. Then I found the courage to shave. It took a while to get used to the new look and feel and even after letting it grow a couple of times in the last two years, I shaved again last week and loving it. I will definitely stay BBC this year!
I started to thin at 16, after hiding it, at 30 I finally shaved it all off... kept it that way for twenty years, then grew back my hair to find I was an N6.
Alternated between sly and mpb for a few years, the last year I decided I needed a change of style, so got a hair system. I am still sly underneath.
