I'm chopping my hair. For the summer, I'm thinking of a buzz cut, or even just shaving my head. After that, I guess we'll see.

I'd like someone to take before and after photos. I'd also be interested if anyone would like to do the cutting. I'd like to ask whoever that is to preserve what ponytail I have intact so I can give it to someone who wants to keep it.

Please comment if you'd like to participate. For that matter, feel free even if you don't want to.

Do it! Welcome to the club! I'm guessing you'll look great!

Oh wow

That'd be so weird!

Awwwww!

Well, all good hair must come to an end. Good luck with the big change - I'm really interested to see how you'll look at each stage!

I think the ponytail should go up on ebay.

I want pictures... this is going to be so weird.

Nooooo....

You have such great hair! I can't imagine you without the ponytail. Some guys look silly with a ponytail, you don't. Some guys can't pull off a shaven head, I hope you can, but I think you'll look silly. (coming from the woman with waist length hair who's partner's hair is as long as hers.)

Make sure you post the pictures.

I've been considering buzzing my hair for a while. We shall see.

I remember when I cut all my hair off--both times. I gathered it into a pony tail the first time and then handed the scissors to my girlfriend and said "cut". The second time was almost 12 years ago, shortly after arriving in Boston. I was mistaken for a guy a few times (yeah, even with these things hanging off my chest:)

On the subject of hair and weather, I’ve definitely got to agree with you there.

I might not have a ponytail, but a week in DC and New York (and the general shagginess) was more than enough to convince me I needed a trim.

Getting back into Singapore was the final straw, and said trim was pretty much the first thing on the agenda after the usual post-travel routine.


(p.s – can I just say how much I truly love the new direct flights? Not quite as good as I imagine a zeppelin would be, but a mere 16.5 hours on comfy seats?! Hell yeah!)

Yay! I'm happy for ya, I think you'll feel cooler (during the summer) and it's really freeing. Get ready for the day after shower--it's SO weird when you realize there's much less to shampoo!
I can chop the actual tail (for safe keepin) if ya want- but the whole shaving I cannot as I don't have clippers.
Also- as a side note- can I pet yer head when it's fuzzy like Nafe?

Oh and one more thing-I'm around, kinda, this weekend... and moving in the next week to JP so I'll be accessable.

That's funny, I am going to do the same thing! I'm not balding yet -- maybe I never will; you've met my uncles -- but I actually would prefer it short for the wedding.

Any thought of donating it to Locks of Love or a similar organization?
