View Full Version : The things you do when bored...
I really hate my hair. Doesn't do what I want it to do, which is look cool and compliment my head. So I put a hat on and ignore the problem. Easy peasy lemon squeezy. For the past few years I've been thinking of rebooting my head. Shave it off, start over. For the past week I've been so frustrated with it that I came close to doing it. Yesterday I decided to **** it and got it done.
This is a few weeks ago.

So there you go. The things I do when bored and annoyed with something. Want something doing right, do it yourself :) I'm aware its probably just a tad too short but will hopefully look fine in a week or two. I have enough hats to hide it till its back :) Kinda funny though. I hated my old hair because i looked like I was going bald in photos. Now I've got less hair but I think it works.
It suits you.
I go for a shaven head not because I dislike my hair (although I'm not madly keen on the amount of grey there is!) but because I'm a lazy git and like the lack of faffing about that a shaven head needs.
That is a very good reason too. No hat hair. No trying to get it to work in the morning. Get in shower, get wet, exit shower and away I go.
My sentiments exactly. It was helmet hair (fnar) that made me get my head shaved the first time - when I'd been out on the bike my hair was always a complete mess.

Likewise - low maintenance haircut as I call it. Also, when my hair is longer, it grows in all directions and sticks up all over the place.
Suits you Pete.

Looks good Pete. Short hair FTW. Keep it that way, it's much cooler in the summer as your head doesn't get quite so hot :)
:D Cool. I was worried I'd gone too far. When I was shaving it off it looked ok. A good amount was coming off. But it kept coming off. Then I looked in the mirror and was like "OMG LOL! Oh well, can't turn back" so kept at it. My Dad was like "Jesus christ!" and my Mum thought it was too short but accepted it. My sister, a hair dresser by trade, is coming round today. Last time I asked her to cut my hair she left it too long because she claimed it'd look silly short. I wanted it shorter but meh. I'm expecting her to hate it :D But I'm happy with it. Its easier to manage and can't be any worse than the previous do.
It looked pretty cool in the top picture tbh :p
Looks good almost gone too though.
I have the same hairline as you and have been toying with the idea of shaving it off but not sure if it would suit me. It would also seem that I have the same kind of problem when it comes to doing something with it, it never looks like you want it to no matter what you do.
Pete! Shaved head really suits you!
I'm jealous because I've got a pin-head and monster eyebrows so if I shave my head I'll look like a Thunderbirds baddie :D

I nearly coated my mac in chocolate milkshake then :D
I wish I could get away with a shaved head. I have all sorts of bumps all over it and it really wouldn't work. Oddly enough, when I'm bored I do just grab a comb and mess about with my hair.

Looks good, i go between phases of short hair and pretty long hair (its inbetween atm :D).
When i'm bored i'm more likely to have a **** than shave my head i must admit though...

Same difference. I gave myself a good head ;)
Massive improvement. That looks really good :) You'll also find that ladies like stroking it now too :p
I REALLY need a haircut right now as it's getting far too long. I wonder what I'd look like with a shaved head?
Suits you Pete, might just suit me too :evil:

Mine is getting a bit annoying now. I usually shave it as soon as I get home from Egypt and then again the day before I leave but I thought I'd leave it until after my aunt's funeral tomorrow, so I don't look too much like a bouncer in my dark suit :D
