One last thing to do

• Now being a confirmed BBC and on my 30 days I had one last ceremony to carry out.
  
  Tonight I collected up all my hair gels and hair products and tossed them out with the rubbish.
  
  What a great feeling of freedom.
  
  What was your final step?  What made you say 'yeah that's it im finally free'?

• Well, the hair dryer is put away, shampoo and conditioner in the shower has been replaced with shaving equipment. Haven't worn a hat since I shaved, I like to show off the new me!

• My daughter used the last of my shampoo on the dog.
  
  I thought it was fitting since I had used his clippers when I went smooth.
  
  (Yes, I cleaned them first.)

• Reddog's comment raised a thought.  I notice a lot of sly men covering their bald heads with a hat or bandanna.  Good idea in hot, sunny weather but I prefer where possible to show off my shiny pate.  What do others think.

• I'll wear a hat for protection, or for fashion, but never to hide. I love to show off my shiny scalp proudly.

• Mmm the hat or no hat is a good question.  I've only been BBC for a week and I did try a baseball cap at the weekend but didn't like it. Which is strange because when I had hair I always wore one in the sun.
  
  Now I prefer factor 50 and a bald head.
  
  I checked in the mirror with some shades on and I thought wow that look rocks. Way better than a hat.
  
  Everyday is bald brings a new experience.

• Same here. With a full head of hair, I either spent an hour before I went anywhere washing, drying, combing into place so it looked decent or threw a hat over it to cover up the mess. Being sly, you don't have to give it a second thought which makes things a lot easier.

• I learned the hard way when my hair was starting to fall out that a hat was a necessity for me whenever I was in the sun.
  
  I still wear a bandanna if my head is going to be exposed to the sun for any prolonged period. It also keeps the sweat out of my eyes.

• I had a little ceremony where I placed all the gels shampoos and conditioners into a box and threw the lot away. The bin was empty, I opened the lid and threw the box in hard, there was a reassuring thud and sound of clutter and a beautiful feeling of letting all of that go ahhhhh
  
  I also remember what added to the liberating feeling, was knowing that I would never have to make an appointment with the hairdresser again. Quite strange but good after a lifetime of appointments. No more depending on and paying others, the satisfaction of shaving my own head, self made man! Ahhh

• I'm going bequeath to my hair products on to my nephew, including my beloved "wave" brush that I have trained and cultivated for the last 8 years LOL
  
  Think Im going to hold on to my clippers for beard maintenance...
