Why I Prefer A Shaved Head

July 26, 2007

The place where I work has a formal dress code. Being one of the few Kuwaitis, and also because of the nature of the place, I prefer to dress in a dishdasha with a ghutra and agal. Because of the gahfiya under the ghutra, the hair has usually been pressed for long hours, so it tends to get pretty messed up (either that or it becomes super slick and you know what that looks like don’t you?)

Anyway, I shaved my head the other day and boy does it feel good. I’m a big fan of shaving and have been doing it for a while. I sometimes grow it, but I prefer a shaved head. Even showering is easier :p Never the less, the benefits of a shaved head are far greater than having a non shaved head.

Thanks to Shale for providing 4 – 15.

1. Use less shampoo while taking a shower.
2. No need to Comb.
3. Can easily take of head gear without worrying about a messed up hairdo.
4. No head lice.
5. No dandruff.
6. Save a bucket of money on wax. Also, since you live in a hot country, you do not have to worry about your wax melting and your spiky, messy hairstyle falling down.
7. If you lose weight, people will think you have aids.
8. You are more like an egg, and people will want you to tap your head with a spoon.
9. You do not need to wear a hat to the swimming pool.
10. When you go to prison, you will not feel humiliated by the shaving bit.
11. If you wear tight black t-shirts, people will think you are gay.
12. If you get a black eye, people will think you started the fight, because you are a skinhead.
13. My Mother will look at your head in disappointment, like she looks at my younger brother’s shaved head.
14. You are more streamlined when you go swimming.
15. You can tell people you have undergone chemo and ask them if they think your eyebrow wigs look real.

What other benefits would you attribute to a shaved head?
