My cousin is losing his hair due to cancer treatment and the family is contemplating a mass hair-shave event in support of him. Nothing definate planned yet.
I shaved my kids hair when they are a month old the girl as well as the boy. It was cultural thing (not religious), people believe that the hair will have stronger roots and healtier, not to mention getting rid of cradle cap.
The guys in my old country have to shave their head as part of University orientation (the ladies just have to do more than 2 ponytails (three or more). So, shaved head on a young men's life is worn proudly as it means they are getting into higher education. I am not sure if that is still a practice until now. Actually they are suppose to just shorten the hair to about 2 cm, but some can't do that and opt to just shave them all.
It's a bit cruel, but for once, these men don't have to worry about their look or being snoobish about who they are. Just wear that hat and study, hehehehe.
she doesnt look horrible but it does look like she just had a breakdown of some sort. she goes into rehab for an hour or two and then does this. something is not right.
I don't mind the shaved head thingee. If I could, I would just to have a new set of hair. I heard that it's really healthy to regrow your roots. But, neh, not my thing though. There are some girls who are into vanity extremes and their hair is number one thing. If I had bald hair, I wouldn't feel that I've lost myself. It wouldn't be the end of the world for me, that's for sure. For some girls, it is.
A guy can shave his head, but not me. My ex once shaved his head and I was shocked and choked for a while but within a few months, it was back to a reasonable length.
I don't see what the big deal in her shaving her head is. She can wear a wig. It's not like that not's easily accessible for her. Plus, now, she'll have nice, natural hair. She wanted something different. I can understand that.
Gawd. Are you kidding? Yeah, I guess she's definitely losing it.

LOS ANGELES -- Britney Spears appeared in a tattoo parlour in California's San Fernando Valley with her head shaved completely bald.
Video on KABC-TV showed the newly shorn Spears with tiny tattoos on the back of her neck as she sat Friday night for a new tattoo -- a pair of red and pink lips.
"She just wanted something real small on her wrist, something dainty," said Max Gott, the tattoo artist at Body and Soul in Sherman Oaks.
"She got some cute little lips on her wrist."
Derrik Snell, who works at the tattoo parlour, said Spears showed up without notice and stayed for about 90 minutes as about 60 fans, photographers and gawkers gathered outside.
"She seemed fine," Snell said.
"I didn't really notice (the hairdo) at first. She had a hood on when she showed up."
Before heading to the tattoo parlour, Spears grabbed an electric clipper and shaved her own head at a San Fernando Valley salon Friday night, CNN reported.
"I tried to talk her out of it. I said: 'Are you sure you're not having a bad day and tomorrow you'll feel differently about it? Why don't we wait a little bit?,' " salon owner Esther Tognozzi said.
"She said: 'No, I absolutely want it shaved off now.' Next thing I know, she grabbed the buzzer and she went to the back of my salon and she was shaving off her own hair," Tognozzi said.
The appearance came the same day as reports on TV and websites that Spears, who has drawn criticism for her recent partying and sloppy behaviour, had briefly checked into rehab.
Syndicated entertainment TV show Extra first reported Spears had entered a treatment facility. Celebrity website TMZ.com then said the singer had entered a treatment centre but had checked out one day later. Neither revealed their sources.
People magazine's website, citing "a source," identified the facility as Eric Clapton's Crossroads centre in Antigua, in the Caribbean.
