It has been dared...

I shaved my head for my 30th birthday.

Don't do it in winter would be my comment.

the last time i did it was in feburary in the mountians... so i know what its like... burrrr!

Yes, August seems like the right time.

Well, given that you'll do it, have fun.

Seems silly to me, which is probably a fine reason to do it.

past that, I can see changing hair affects our sense of self and the process can punch buttons re selfrecognition past the usual.

I've had medium length hair for decades. What changes is whether I slave to make it be sort of straight and curl under, or have kind of a wedge angle, etc., be curly, be straight. But as a woman of various decades, I have felt most me with this shoulder length hair. Every once in a while I get it cut short, or cut it myself out of frustration with salons. Have had it short this last several months, short and curly, cut it myself twice, complements both times. People seem to respond, oh, yes! I see what they mean, but it isn't quite me in the mirror.

Which is useful, interesting, since we aren't our faces, our hair, exactly.

It's growing again and I'm happy...

If you're going to do it, and it's part of a dare - have them make a donation to a charity in exchange.

i just might... sound s like a good idea to me thanks ms. beth

In the perfect world, it would be part of the Bear's benefit concert (and we'd be sure to get pix that way). :wink:

lol that would be fairly awesome... :-D
