    I starting to think we should encourage it. Thin the herd without spreading the Rona. Win win.

    I try to to be a ray of fucking sunshine and encourage people to be the best versions of themselves but watching those videos and the news the last few weeks has me ready to go to the mountains and stay far, far away. Husband and I are planning to move to the western slope when the kids graduate high school but I don’t think I can wait 3 years anymore.
    Hopefully I can live near a 5g tower.

    So... right now my work has sponsored a (cash donation to the food bank for each person participating) "shave your head" zoom meeting... 18 people shaving their heads in a big company zoom meeting.

    3 of the women have LONG hair and are on the verge of crying.

    It's hilarious.

    2 of the guys have their kids shaving their heads. One of them just took a swipe diagonally across the top and said "done". lol

    If it's solidarity with a cancer patient or you're donating the hair or something, sure. But your company could have just donated the money without mangling their employees' haircuts in a private zoom meeting and it would have achieved the same result.

    Oh, it's because some people are nuts and might want some attention while working from home.

    Some of us actually shave our heads on purpose... but don't do it on a zoom call.

    This was an effort that was crowdsourced by the staff, not the company... except one of our C-Suite said "well, if we raise $10k for food bank then I'll do it too", so the CEO said, "we're donating as well" to get us to the $10k. in short, the CEO probably paid $7k to watch one of his senior pretty boys shave his head.

    Probably worth it.

    Oh. My. God.

    I cannot believe that womEn participated. I'm not nuts about my hair or anything, but I have a lot of it, and I would definitely cry and have some major emotional issues for a little while as it grew out, if I were to shave it.

    I did have a short haircut once and it was real bad. I do not have the face or features for that look. I took that as a lesson and vowed never again.

    Any hair donated is precious to somebody else. Not as important as blood, but loved just as much.

    The hair isn't donated... it's basically a case of "we need a hair cut and let's see if we can't have some fun with it and why not try and spin it into a good cause" situation. More power to them, but it's not for everyone.

    I’ve always wanted to shave my head to see what it looks/feels like. I will probably do it once I’m done changing the color all of the damn time. Even though I want to try it, I would probably feel a little anxious at losing it. It’s gotten very long and I would probably feel very naked.
    At least a decent sum was donated for it.

    Yeah, my company really believes in helping out the community, year round, so we would have spent the cash anyway... at least this way we build up some esprit de corp along the way.

    You always shave your head after killing somebody in the heat of the moment, because you hate what you see in the mirror.

    Oh my. I could just imagine if something like that happened on this side of the border.

    One woman would participate. Within a week she would have a lawyer retained and be screaming "Trauma! Emotional Abuse! Sexism! Hair Shaming!" and from there it's just a short leap to "This is just what the Nazis did! Confined people and shaved their heads!"

    They did, but I almost more associate head-shaving with the French who did it after the war to women who "slept with the enemy" (aka were likely raped, or at the very least coerced).

    Okay, people, it's another day, and another bunch of used wippet cartridges in the road.

    I used to shave my head then decided to grow it out thinking I was losing it. Though my hair has relaxed itself since high school when it was a wiry and rats nesty when I grew it out. Used to curl into ringlets when I got it wet. Now it's more or less straight but still not close to silky smooth. I have shoulder length hair now. Lots of surprises having it this long. I mean the joke on women filling the drains with hair balls it hardcore real life. I had to stop using guys combs to comb my hair because the fine toothed ones yanked out so many tangled hairs on one stroke. Now I have bunches of hairs that I had yanked out a year ago that are a couple of wiry inches and stick up around the longer hair that is weighted down on itself.

    I went years without using anything on my head at all when it was shaved. I have to condition and use leave in moisturizers just to keep it soft enough not to tangle and get pulled out when I comb or run my hands through it. It's actually not that much work and I like the way it looks so Im going to see how it looks just past my shoulders.

    Sweeeeet score if there have anything in them. Also those boxes are sooo porn store head shop skeevy. I forget the Phish song my friends had me listen to when they brought home a box of those once but it was perfect for the WompWOMPwompWOMP. Fuckers at festivals make 10s of thousands of dollars off that with those big medical canisters they have for dentist offices. Hippy crack for sure.

    Oil is your friend. Use some argan oil or similar when its still damp out of the shower. Take it from someone who has ALL THE FUCKING HAIR. I do own a small brush but most actual brushing is done with a fat comb out of the shower after oiling.

    One of my in-laws posted on Facebook about crowded beaches in Arizona.

    I’m trying really hard not to tell people they’re idiots, but they make it so tempting

    Did you send the moron a map of the US with Arizona marked on it? Because you should.
