Thoughts on shaving my head

I'm looking forward to shaving my head. I think it will be liberating. I am excited to do bold makeup looks with no hair. I'm looking forward to not being too hot. I'm curious about people's reactions.

I almost always wear my hair up in a bun because it gets tangled in everything. Even then it gets in the way a lot. I hate the way my headset at work interferes with it.

And if someone tells me I looked better with hair I'll tell them the USA looked a lot better when I had rights.

My spouse has had REALLY long hair for the majority of her years.....

And then about 2 years ago she said "I might want to get my hair cut short." Put in a way that made me believe she was soliciting my opinion (as in ... would I be OK with that)

I encouraged her to GO FOR IT... and even searched the internet for photos of short hair on woman with her facial structure.

After she got her first "SHORT" (very short) haircut. She said "Why didn't I do this before?" and "It is SO EASY to take care of"

Having said that... I will caution you about shaving your head.... as I have "been there/done that" on several occasions.
-Be VERY mindful of the sun.... PALE WHITE skin burns VERY easily (including the tops of your ears, especially the tops of your ears if you have always had long hair). Use loads of good high SPF sunscreen and remember that ballcaps and full-shade hats are your friends.
-Don't be surprised to learn that your skull is "lumpy"..... In my case I was like "Where TF did these divots come from?"
