I'd half heartedly attempted to grow my hair out a few times, but always chickened out when it'd get to a certain point, but the pandemic allowed me to finally give it a try. My wife initially shaved the back and sides letting the top grow out, and then later a stylist cleaned it up and styled it better a couple of times. I made it to jaw length. I liked it most of the time, but sometimes it was uncooperative and it would look crap. In the end, my wife had gone off it so that was the deciding factor in getting rid. Oh well, I got it out of my system.
Had very curly hair as a young child. But, when I hit elementary the look vanished as I had extremely short hair. 25 years later, COVID hits. Grew my hair out during COVID.. little did I know that I still have very curly hair, ringlets style. Looked awesome but too much to handle. Now my hairs short but i style it to keep the curls fresh. One of the best hygiene changes I’ve made lol.

July 2005. My parents had a garage sale before they moved to a condo and didn't think they could take the coo coo clock to a condo as that may have been noisy and disturbing for other tenants.
The pandemic sped up the head shave for me. Realized how much I was balding when I couldn't get a haircut more regular. But, hey, on the other hand I got lots of practice styling my own beard. It's key now that I'm Mr. Clean on top.
Haha I could see that for sure. I'm also follicly-challenged and have been shaving it on a #1 since 2012 due to it. That initial Covid spell actually knocked me out of work for a few months so I grew it out for 6 months since civilization seemed over at the time and we were basically shut-ins.
I was actually amazed how thick it still was - I swear it came in thicker in 2020 than it was back in 2012! I got really attached to it too, too bad about the large bald spot in the back or I would have kept it haha, I wasn't going ANYWHERE without a hat on. But having my dark wavy curly locks winging out the sides and back of my hat was fun again for a few months anyway.
Of course I had to shave it off once my job came back due to how, ahem, uneven it comes in now, but it was hard even letting go of that. If any of you still have all your hair, live dammit! For those of us who cannot

Was thinking of taking the head down to a #1 all over just to see what it looks like
Not so much a big deal for me cos I don’t have to look at it.
Just worried about the cold.
But that’s what a beanie is for.
Any advice for a potential first-time baldy?
Oh and no I wouldn’t tell/ask my wife first.

Your reflection is going to startle you for about a month. But it’s worth it.

My personal experience is the you will definitely feel the cold this time of year, especially if you have thicker hair (I imagine as I never had). You will adapt fairly quickly. You don’t need shampoo every shower which is cool. People with thin or balding hair hate you for being able to choose between being bald or rocking a sweet flow.
Ill drop a bomb on someone occasionally to see how theyd react. Im keeping my mouth shut on the more controversial stuff, but ill talk about stuff like the gulf of tonkin incident, high profile pedos, why the moon shouldnt exist, etc. I have a strong reputation as a technical thinker and problem solver and have not had a single negative reaction in the workplace. Ive found that the type of people who inherently hate conspiracy theories are usually really weak thinkers. Engineers are actually a bit more willing to go into the weeds with the weird stuff.

Friend of ours served in the Russian army when he was young and had his blood type tattooed on his chest, I think it was standard practice. Years later when he moved to Canada he had a medical procedure done, they typed him and he discovered the tattoo was wrong.
