Most people didnāt mind, my dad and his side didnāt care in the slightest, and I couldnāt care less what mum thinks lol (Iām no contact anyway these days).
Workplaces havenāt cared at all, as long as itās neat and clean, of course.
3 times I have shaved it down to the skin/light fuzz, usually after I had been dyeing my hair (10+ yrs black, shaved, pink/red/purple, shaved, then a blonde streak in my fringe, then shaved), and the most anyone has said was āomg do you have cancerā šš and I just said no, just wanted to shave it after dyeing so the hair grows back healthy.

@StudChud My three big concerns with getting a full shave are how it will look, how work will react, and random dickheads. That, and it's getting a bit chilly this time of the year.
How did people at your work react to the shave?
And did you get many randos making comments about it?

I had one meth head say I should smile more, but I think that was unrelated to my hair, (told him to get fucked).
People at work asked why, but that was early 2010s. When Iāve done it more recently, I just had colleagues/bosses say they liked it and it suited me š¤·āāļø so no negativity when Iāve done it.
If you do it this time of year, have a scarf and you can hoist it up to keep your scalp warm, or a beanie. I tend to do a big cut or shave at the start of summer.

@StudChud That's really reassuring š
Yeah, I think I'll wait until the start of Summer, and then go for a big shave šŖ
