Around 5 months ago I began the process of shaving my head. This was a drastic change from my previous hairstyle which came down to the middle of my back. I knew nothing about shaving my head, I'd had long hair for something close to 8 or 9 years and had barely even had a haircut in that time, so I enlisted the help of a couple of female friends who happily (perhaps overly so) began the process of buzzing down and shaving my dome.
