    So today my brother's girlfriend will be shaving my hair off. Luckily she hasn't asked why. I'm nervous though. I won't be telling anyone I'm doing it till it has already been done. I have one aunt that is rather opinionated and I am terrified what she'd say, especially since she is like a second mother.

    Bold haircut, man.

    I wish the best of luck to you. Hopefully they get over it quickly. By the way, I think you could rock a shaved head.

    Just out of curiosity, are you going to go for a shiny, bald head or more of a close buzz?

    Told my mom I was going to do it and she started telling me not to and that I would regret it.

    I guess in a way this a form of rebellion for me, as well as me learning to step out of my comfort zone. I tend to seek my family's acceptance in everything and if they don't accept intend to not do the thing. I feel this has resulted in a lot of missed opportunities for me. So buzzing my hair is me trying to step outside the comfort of always doing what is deemed acceptable by family as well as experimenting with my gender.

    Hair grows back after all. Its not like I am making some huge life decision in this one second.

    I like it a lot. The only thing I don't like is that I look very much like my dad now, don't like that msn

    Ah man, I shaved my head once, used to have hair down to my shoulders, went for one of those monk heads. Now I just keep it short. My mom gets so angry whenever I get a haircut because she really wants me to grow it out. It feels so good after you get a fresh shave, its all cold.

    I actually just got it buzzed instead of going shiny bald sahve, which is what my mother thought.

    I will post pics as soon as I manage to wake up xD.
    I'm actually rather surprised that my hair still tried to part lol
