Bald

Contrary to the picture shown below, I'm not really bald.  It's more like I elected to shave most of my head as my hair thinned to the point that I was approaching the dreaded combover look and I wasn't having any of that.  So I shaved it one day and decided that was the better of the two options.  But I never considered any other plusses or minuses to a bald head.

The biggest negative is that I get my hair cut more often than before.  After about four weeks the sides grow out enough to create a "Bozo Effect" (yes, like the clown) and it's not a good look.  So it's back to the barber for a 3-minute, $20-dollar hair clip down to 1/8 of an inch.

The biggest positive is that I don't have to shower first thing in the morning.  Sleeping on my longer hair always resulted in one messed-up hairdo that could only be tamed with a shower.  I also like that drying my hair takes two seconds with a towel and getting caught in a rainshower isn't a big deal anymore.  One swipe of the hand and I'm good to go.
