Reactions I get are at the other end of the spectrum. Obviously I don't have my full head shaved, but my god, the looks I got at comic-con. I mean, there are people walking around in full costume from various sci-fi movies & comic books, and STILL people are gawking at me like I'm the main event.
Rarely do people actually have the guts to say anything to my face, mostly it's just pointing, laughing, whispering, glaring, sometimes loud rude comments when I'm in earshot. It's very easy to figure out whether someone is looking at your head based on hatred, attraction, or just fascination.
Even if I received all positive comments all the time, I'd still feel the exact same way I do now about myself.

WOW!
If I saw you, even though I am shy by nature, I would feel compelled to go up to you and tell you *I love your look!* And smile:)

Well thank you. I think you look good, too. I love your little head ornaments, hee.

It seems like now that I think about it, the main positive comments I ever get are either from people on the internet with unnatural hair colour, or shaved heads. Or....anonymous hair fetish enthusiasts. ::cough::

p.s. it appears we have a similar birth mark (?) on the back of our heads.
Just thought that was interesting.

That was a pretty cool post. I can relate to much of it.

My head isn't shaved, it's a pretty normal guy haircut, but it used to be down my back and I cut it last summer. I feel more comfortable, on the street, in the shower.

Short hair or shaved hair is very alive. Your skin is bared to the world; it's a lovely open feeling which does create a lot of confidence.

Yeah... school will start soon for my 12 year old son and I think I will be getting a lot of reactions from the parents and the kids in his class. He's used to it by now, so he has no problem with it.

Just recently have there been a few whispered 'Freaky' comments in public. That threw me for a loop. I thought for sure they weren't speaking about me. But I agree, the positive outweighs the negative.

I think it's great that you've been able to keep your head shaved for a month.It shows dedication and that you really enjoy the feeling of being bald.The best part of your message is that you have had fun with it as well.I think if you can't enjoy the sensations of being bald,then why do it.You are an example that other women should look to before they shave so that they see that it can be fun being bald and not worry about the stares,comments,etc.Thanks for sharing your experiences with us.
