Ugh, I don't think I should have shaved it off.

I was cutting my hair the other night and I shaved my hair down to a number two. He convinced me to shave off my widows peak. With my brother's help, he cut the back and help straighten out the hair lines. He said I should shave off my widows peak to make it look "cleaner". But now, its starting to itch as the hair is starting to grow back and I'm constantly having to shave it back down. Is it going to come back in darker and bushier?

Ugh.

What's going to happen to you in about 7 years.

Lies. Long beautiful hair in my family... Both my parents haven't balded at all. Unfortunately, both my grandfathers did.... Hopefully this gene doesn't skip one generation (Or they cancel out!). :) I don't see it happenin'... And if it does, I am going 100% bald.

Old wives tale. Cutting hair cannot affect how it grows. You just aren't used to the feeling. Scratch the area, rub the area, whatever, but the sensation will go away if you keep shaving it.

Male pattern baldness is directly inherited from your Mother's father. You'll be joining the fun club soon enough there, skippy.

Exactly like shaving your pubic hair. Like shaving any hair on your body at all. Drove me nuts when I shaved my head and sideburns off for the first time several years ago, but I quickly got used to it. Having a shaved head and goatee is awesome. :cool:

When you grow a pair and pick up a BIC and do it right, you'll finally be a real man ;) :p

Do you get your hair care advice from Joe the Plumber?

If I did, I'd have my ass crack hanging out when I bend over.

I get my advice from Mr. Clean!

err, wait, there's a gay joke in there waiting to ambush me.

I, uh, get my advice from stupid high school friends who dare me to shave my head :eek:

Not necessarily.

I'm going bald. My mother's father, on the other hand, had a full head of hair when he died @ 99 years of age.

I had to shave it off once, that's because of crabs. I just trim now :eek:

Wait... you're not talking about...?

My older and younger brothers take after my dad and his dad going bald, I on the other hand am not suffering from this.

haha I did that once... except the rest of my hair was much longer. I don't know WTF I was thinking, it was a pain the ass to keep shaving that one part down and I probably looked like a moron. Eventually I cut the rest of my hair short enough and just grew it back out.
