Until yesterday I used to have long hair. Due to unusually high tempetures I started having problems with the skin on my head. So, to avoid problems. I shaved it clean and it will remain that way until the skin in treated.

Now that I'm bald, I now know what's it's like. It sucks. My old hair suited me perfectly. It was messy just the right amount, perfect length, made me look different than the rest and handsome as hell. Every girl would look at me where ever I went to. Compliments floating over the air, jealous looks from other men etc. etc. It made me feel powerful.

But most importantly, it suited my personality and clothing. It was perfect! But now it's gone. I hate bald me. I will never look back at this bald version of myself.

It feels weird. I don't feel that bad but still it's disheartening.

Are you Samson? What kind of magic hair did you have?

Althrough I think a good cut is good for a good first impression. It's not a big deal, they will eventually grow back. You can cure other aspect of your style.

I voluntary shave myself in the summer, and I know very well that I am more handsome with long hair. But I don't care and so do others.

There are some good aspects of a bald head eg. Time efficency when I shower and feeling fresh during the day.
