Should I shave my head?
I am not handling the heat well and my last dye job turned out awful.

1. My dear KitchenWitch!
Um, sweetie!

That would be no!

You have beautiful hair!

How about just a shorter do?

:hug:

3. Short hair is really not an option
I am one of the few people for which short hair takes longer to make presentable than long hair. I have about five hundred cowlicks in my scalp. It is truly a nightmare.

8. Yeah
The very thing that adds the body to my hair makes it impossible to style if it is short.

:banghead:

4. LOL
Other than hair length (because short hair looks terrible on me) I am thinking Jamie Lee Curtis has it right.

I should have never started dying my hair again.

12. I could see you with the Jamie Lee Curtis thing...
...it's short, but not "skinhead" short, and it does have style.

6. Shave off half -- the right side, say -- and see if you like it
If you decide to like it, you can always shave off the other half

If you decide to dislike it, pat yourself on the back for not hastily taking an extreme step you would have regretted

11. Honestly, I don't know why anyone would buy a wig and shave it

9. I'll do it if you do it
I've always hated my hair and I've had fantasies about just shaving it all off

10. Believe me, I am very tempted
If only I did not have to go through three horrid years of the "short but growing out" hair stage

15. I've been asking myself that same question.
I have thick, heavy hair. I wonder how I'd look if I shaved it all off.

I've been told many times that people would kill to have hair like mine. I guess we're never happy with what we've got. :P

16. True.
Although my dissatisfaction right now is my own doing, since I started dying my hair again. I was truly happy with the salt and pepper. My friend talked me into dying my hair. Now I have to somehow get it back to its prior color before I started to gray, and just let it grow out.
