Right. I have 30 minutes to...

[BertrandRussell]

...persuade ds not to shave his head. Arguments, please. Attached, with his permission, a picture of how he looks now.

Let him do it! It'll grow back.

Ah, let him shave it if he wants to, it's only hair. It'll grow back if he hates it.

His hair is gorgeous- but I also say if he wants to shave his head, let him do it! Hair grows back and it's fun to be young and play with different styles.

Aww he is lovely hair and what a lovely looking lad. But I think you have to let him do it, it may suit him and if it doesn't it will quickly grow back. We learn from our mistakes. How old is he?

How old is he? I say let him do it, I think it could suit him.

Given the weather forecast for this week I'd say it's the ideal time to shave your head. It'll grow back quick enough if he doesn't like it.

Obviously I can’t stop him! I was hoping for cast iron arguments against. He’s working with young children- do you think I could tell him it would scare them?

Tell him he will get a sunburnt head unless he puts sun cream on his head stubble each day?

Lovely looking young man
I hope he doesn’t

Sunburn! Hadn’t thought of that!

Tell him chicks dig curls!

He really suits his hair! My dh has curly hair, shaved it off, looks ok for a week then odd looking waves appear!

It will make him look fat.

Dh was shaven headed when we first got together. He looked like a massive fat headed bald giant.

He looks old enough to make his own mistakes!

“He looks old enough to make his own mistakes!“
Of course he is. Maybe i’ll tell him
I’ll cry.....
The only think that’s made him pause is realising that he won’t look
like James Acaster any more.

Ah let him do it. I’m tempted myself in the heat 😄 DH has a shaved head an he certainly doesn’t scare kids 😄

So handsome :)

He'll look good either way, hair grows back, chill - if he likes it great, if he hates it then he'll know he should have listened

It would be a shame if he did.
It would be a shame if he hated it.
It would be really unpleasant if he got sunburn on his head.
There will very likely be a line where he has caught the sun which will show up if there is no hair.

Ha. I have more persuasion time. His girlfriend has chickened out of doing it so he’ll have to wait to gotni the barber tomorrow.
I’ve told him i’ll keep stroking his head because it’ll remind me of his baby hair.......

That'll do it!

I hate how shaved heads look. But they do feel lovely!

“There will very likely be a line where he has caught the sun which will show up if there is no hair”
Now that’’s a good one!

People will think he’s got nits.

CollaterlyS1sters I just laughed til I cried at that description.
My DH once came home with clippers ‘to save money on haircuts*. He looked like a mass murderer, and only did it once thank god.

Ahhh let him do it, it's not permanent. And if he looks daft he'll never do it again. He looks cherubic. Is it a reaction against looking too goody goody?
