Should I shave my head?

I’m still unemployed since late 2022 and my hair is getting long. I’m contemplating to shave my head. I don’t have cancer. I’m not on the military.

Im purely shaving my head to save money. Should I shave my head? Is it wrong to shave your head JUST TO save money?

My own experience of shaving my head was lots of small cuts all over my head and a realization that I have lots of strange bumps on my head. I don't think a shaved head will be helpful for finding a job, and I think a short buzz cut is a lot more time effective. If you shave your head, you have to shave it almost every day. It is definitely worth investing about $20 in a pair of reasonable electric clippers.

Thank you for your comment. It would be the first time to shave my head. I wasn’t thinking about the close shave cut. But maybe more off the buzzcut or like you said short buzz cut.

Not if you'd be happy with a shaved head. My husband has one , and he's not in the military, he's a teacher and cancer free , he just suits it.

Well it would be my first time to shave my head. Plus I think it’s confidence and how you would present yourself with your new fresh look.

For me I still have a full head of hair fortunately. And I’m grateful for still having hair. I’m thinking do shave my head to save money.

And thank you for your comment.

Nothing wrong with it at all. It's your head, your hair and nobody else's business but yours! You may need a woolly hat though to keep your head warm.😉
