So I wore my hair relaxed for my entire life. But when I was 31-32 I was sick of using all those chemicals on my hair. So I literally went to a barber shop & told them to shave my head. They looked at me like I was crazy. But here I am 4 years later & I have never regretted it.

    I'll be doing the same thing, when the weather here within New Jersey; gets cold enough to've to wear a hat! I'll be able to donate, my hair; since it qualifies but I am doing it to alleviate the chore, of dealing with it; since my disability's getting worse & to save money because I hate up~dos, unless they're necessary because it begins to hurt, my scalp but I shed, worse than a dog; I literally've to vacuum daily & go through 4 vacuums annually! The money that I'll save, via not having to replace vacuums; as often & using less shampoo/conditioner, I'll put towards hiring someone once monthly to take me to run errands, help me batch cook & scrub my outdoor clothes drying rack.

    I'll get a wig just in case, the way that I'll look; horrifies me without hair but I've found that a regular average cost wig, via a Halloween/Party store's adequate when classmates had mistaken my curly wig hair for a costume then; as being my actual normally straight hair!

    I always wished I had curly hair, but it was pretty straight. So then it was short for years, and now that I'm growing it out it's curly, but only the under layers! I wish mine would grow in curly all over! :D

    Gorgeous! I shaved my head last year around this time....I've had alopecia for almost a decade and was always ashamed of my head....and then i buzzed all that was left, off....i was always afraid of my boyfriend seeing my head, but after i buzzed it, i became so confident...now I walk around bald at home. Next year I plan to start going out in public :)

    I'll only shave mine once as well, it'll take 3 years prior to me needing to get another hair cut thereafter; so that should grant me enough time to focus upon finishing with getting rid of all of my excess weight also!

    be careful what you wish for. lol most of my life my hair was wavy,as I have gotten older its now curlier than ever. looks like I have a perm and I havent had a perm in over 21 years. now to even straighten it is a chore and the shorter it is the more it wants to curl. They say hair cant change,lol I beg to differ
