Hi. I finally took the plunge & shaved my head. I cut off the length with scissors then used hair clippers without the guard. I shaved it clean with shaving cream & a Mach 3 razor. It was alot easier than I thought it would be. No nicks or cuts. The only difficult part for me was in the back where the hair was real thick. I think it looks kinda badass. I'm just nervous what friends & family are going to say (as you can tell by the time of my post!).

WELCOME ABOARD JAYHAWK , Ive got an idea if you arent sure how itll go over you could take the hair you clipped off and lay it all over your pillow and then lay back down , when you reAWAKE you start screaming " my hair my hair , what the hell happened to my beautiful hair ?" WOULD THAT HELP ? no?

Welcome, Jayhawk. What part of Kansas are you from. I take it from your name that you are a KU fan???
Hope ya stay around awhile. Don't worry too much about the reactions. Most of the anxiety is way overblown in our heads. At least that was my experience. I still was nervous but it didn't take long to figure out that nobody really cared that much about what I did with my own hair.

Thanks guys. I am from Salina, right in the middle of the state. I am a huge KU fan. The Jayhawks are living large now. #3 in basketball and sure to be top 5 in football after the Orange Bowl win.

hey Jayhawk...looks bad ass to me bro. Just walk out into the world this morning feeling good about yourself. You can do it.....its a feeling you will never forget. And just be prepared cause there may be a few who will give you bad comments....but they are far and few inbetween....Looks good ....honestly....give it 30 days and then decide.

Welcome JHawk,
You R-O-C-K the Sly look.
No need to be apprehensive about family and friends. It's generally a non-issue.
So enjoy all the benfits of being a SLY brutha~
-ease of maintenance
-it's cooler
-it looks tough and intimidating
-nothing for someone to grab in a fight
-high CDI (Chicks Dig It) factor
Rodger, over and out! -

Congradulations, really great look. Family & friends will split on it, most probably okay. You'll be suprised how many people won't say anything. Welcome, enjoy.

It looks great. They'll get over it. Anytime there is a big change bad or good, you'll hear comments. Give it a few weeks they'll come around.
