Poll question: Should I Shave My Head Again? You be the judge!
So today I got a haircut, and I just hate it. It just makes me feel so square! I'll spare you pictures of that. But I've been wanting to shave my head again ever since I did it last year for the first time. I hate combing my thick damn hair and how frizzy it gets, not to mention styling it is impossible.

Anyways, I submit the question to the collective wisdom of the DU Lounge!

Here's a couple photos from when I shaved it in November '05:



And then my normal thick quasi-fro mess:

5. Shave it. That shaved hair cut looks good on you.
It's weird but it makes you look "more mature." Not sure if that is the look you are going after.

8. leave it = I'm gonna grow my hair down to my feet so strange...
So I look like a walking mountain range
And I'm gonna ride into Omaha on a horse
Out to the country club and the golf course.
Carry the New York Times, shoot a few holes, blow their minds :-)

16. nah, my opinion don't matter
for nothing...its all up to you. Some people can carry the shaved head look, fortunately, you are one of them. I tried in my college days, and it was a mistake...:)

19. Whatever you feel good about
I could never shave my head. Hair is precious, and it is there to keep your head warm in the winter and help you sweat to keep you cold in the summer.

It looks like you are going bald prematurely anyway, so you may as well shave it.

21. HA, actually...
I have a seriously screwed up hairline because for most of my younger years I would twirl and twirl the front of my hair into little knots and then yank them out! What a horrible nervous habbit to have, I tell ya.
