Guard #2. 6mm

Shock

I've always wanted to do it. I kept seeing people having done it.

I was bored.

I love it. But am self conscious about it also.

Very liberating.

Ahhhh you look amazing!! I've wanted to do this for so long but never had the guts which is silly because I've honestly never seen a woman it didn't look amazing on. And I already have short hair and it grows very fast. And we're on lockdown so it doesn't even matter if it looks shit. But I just can't take the plunge!

BayandBlonde · 08/04/2020 12:26

I love it. I'm short, a number 8, but I would love to go shorter 😁

BayandBlonde · 08/04/2020 12:27

Oooh I love it.

I'm short, a number 8, but I would love to do this 😁

SpockPaperScissorsLizardRock · 08/04/2020 12:27

It looks great. I want to do mine on number 8 but am too scared. @BayandBlonde any chance of seeing what 8 all over looks like please?

Rocaille · 08/04/2020 12:52

You're very pretty and have lovely skin, also your makeup looks fab. You can definitely get away with this look.

TheEndIsBillNighy · 08/04/2020 12:52

Wow, you look beautiful!!

MinkowskisButterfly · 08/04/2020 12:53

Oh wow! Looks fab!

motheroreily · 08/04/2020 13:03

It really suits you. Do you think you'll keep your hair short

Shahira78 · 08/04/2020 13:14

Love it. Not many can get away with it but you look gorge. May try this myself!

Irial · 08/04/2020 13:22

wow you look fantastic!!

tupperwaretowers · 08/04/2020 13:25

@ShavedIt can we see a before picture?

I’m very tempted myself to do this. Ideal time fur it, I’m not going anywhere!! What does a number 8 look like??

Fleamaker123 · 08/04/2020 13:26

That looks really, really good! It suits you. I'm so jealous! Hate faffing with my hair!

zen1 · 08/04/2020 13:27

Cool - I’m so temped! The shortest I’ve been is a 6.

MayTheGodsBeEverInYourFavour · 08/04/2020 13:28

Fab, love it!

Surly · 08/04/2020 13:29

I am actually very jealous as i could never pull this off!
It looks good, I love it

ShavedIt · 08/04/2020 13:31

Before

I'm REALLY fat BTW 😂 so it always stopped me but with all this shit going on in the world I figure life is too short.

I decided I would shave my head and start my journey to lose 5 stone :)

I done it a couple of years ago. Had been using colours alot and it felt kind of dirty. Not sure what grade, but it was either shortest comb or none at all. Washing it was a breeze! When it got to a certain stage like a pixie it looked really good.

SpeedwellBlue · 08/04/2020 13:38

I like

JonHammIsMyJamm · 08/04/2020 13:41

You look ace. You Havel great face for it.

JonHammIsMyJamm · 08/04/2020 13:41

Have A great face for it.

ShavedIt · 08/04/2020 13:42

My hair was FUCKED. I've had it every colour under the sun. Home bleached so many times, so this was probably a good move.

I can see my grey now though 🙄

pepperpod28 · 08/04/2020 13:42

Oh gosh OP I LOVE it!! It looks amazing, makes you look like a real take-no-shit type! And, weird compliment time, you look like you have a lovely shaped head for it.

I would love to shave my head but I have a massive honking nose and high hairline and I think I would look like an alien, so I make do with an undercut.

JonHammIsMyJamm · 08/04/2020 13:43

I’m so tempted to do mine but I think I’d look bad

GuyMartinsSideburns · 08/04/2020 13:50

Looks brilliant op. I’ve had a Mohawk and shaved sides for months and now that I can’t see my hairdresser for the foreseeable I might just get dh to lop the lot off too Smile

NiceLegsShameAboutTheFace · 08/04/2020 13:54

@ShavedIt

You look bloody amazing. It's the only civilised hairstyle for anyone. I've been shaving mine for years.

When I'm PM, I'll adopt a North Korean approach and introduce a list of 'approved' hairstyles, of which there will be only one Grin

And ..... I also lost six stones in weight. Good luck with your plan Smile

Here's me. Nowhere as pretty as you. Where do you think my user name comes from? Grin
