    i buzzed all my hair off a few years ago, because i was a little too liberal with the hair bleach, and fried it. lol. it was certainly a hell of a lot easier, and it looked ok. it was sort of an interesting experience in that i realized that it's just hair, and it sort of cured me of bitching about bad hair days and stuff like that. i probably wouldn't do it again, because it was a lot of trouble while it was in the in-between growing out stage. it's been nearly 2 years i guess, and it's finally just about to my shoulders.

    yeah, i did it twice in high school (once junior year, then again senior)... i don't remember exatly why i did it, but i think it was mostly because i was afraid of doing it and then i thought of how silly it made me feel to be afraid of something so insignificant. i liked it.. the fresh air on my scalp, people giving me scalp massages (it is impossible not to touch a freshly buzzed head!!) and just having the courage to do it felt good.. even though after i did it, i realized it was nothing to be afraid of... like jumping off the diving board =) i might do it again someday, but for now i am really enjoying having hair again.. i didn't realize how much i missed it until it grew back. it was strange having to buy conditioner again. for me, the only bad things about it were that i lived in a conservative oklahoma town and a few people thought that my lack of hair somehow implied i was a lesbian... and that was strange. the other bad thing was growing it back out.. but i just put clips in it and let it do it's thing while i did mine.. and we got through it.. anyway, i would recommend it to any girl who is considering it just because it feels good to do something that makes you nervous and it's kind of liberating

    I cute all of my long pretty hair off last year. I thought it was a good idea at the time. Damn it! I'm still pissed for my lack of judgement. It looked horrible, and it still hasn't grown back to how it was. I just don't look right with short hair. :( But at least I can say I tried.

    I would never ever ever not in a million years shave my head. In my opinion, women are supposed to have hair...except for Sinead O'Connor, she's probably the only chick that could get by with it.

    Everyone I've talked to who used to have long hair & cut it short regrets it every time, so give it a lot of thought.

    Nope. Could never do it. My hair grows so freakin' slow it's not even funny. And for the longest time I've been trying to get it back to the length I had it before... Between my knees and hips. One day I just hacked it all off, above my shoulders... Dunno why... I was very angry and I just cut it... It looked cute, but it's just not me. I love that "hippie goddess" type hair... Long and straight. Right now my hair is about 6 inches below my shoulders... and it's driving me crazy! It'll prolly take me a couple years to get it back to the length it was at...


    I may do a lot of strange things to my hair, like putting it in funky styles and dying it real funky colors (Right now it's a deep red, but that's gonna turn into a very dark purple sometime in the next week, keepin in mind I'm naturally dark-blonde...) but I dont think I'd be able to cut it off again. Hell, I hate getting it trimmed! Esepically when I tell the person who's cutting my hair "hey, I'm really trying to grow my hair long so could you please just take off AS LITTLE AS POSSIBLE? Hopefully a quarter inch?" And they hack off an inch or two! They don't realize that inch or two is gonna take months and months to grow back... grrrrr....

    Ok I'm done ranting now... Sorry about that...

    sure. i've done it several times, and i liked the way it looked and felt. i have thin hair, too, so you could see my scalp. but i also have high cheekbones, and a nicely shaped head, so i got away with it. i had hair down between my shoulder blades a couple of months ago, then i had it cut to neck length. i like it like this.

    I think it would feel so good to shave my head... but unfortunately, the back of my head is flat, so I'd look a little uh.. funny to say the least. And when I say flat, I mean I definitely could not get away with a shaved head.

    I once shaved it off because I just didn't like my hair. The only thing I regret is that I did it during the middle of winter.

    I'm attached to it, but it took me a long time to get it as long as it is now (did that make sense?). So I guess I couldn't.

    actually lately I've talked about how I think I should just shave it all off. I think it would be good for me.
    It would definitely be a spiritual experiance, I'd have to look at beauty in a whole other way.

    Am I the only one who equates bald with
    a) skinheads (went through a plate glass window courtesy of one in the 80s) or
    b) chemotherapy?
