Think of the worst comb-over you ever saw. When I was 16, I took a summer job and my boss had one that resembled this, only it went pretty much from one ear over the top to the other ear. I guess growing up my generation saw too many of these drastic comb-overs because we've developed a comb-over phobia. Now any man who is slightly balding and has hair over 1/4" long (especially if he gels it) MUST have a comb-over. The only solution, therefore, to allow one to be both bald and fashionable is to shave it all off and adopt the skin-head look.
(Mmmm, not bad, Bruce.)
...but he didn't, and I couldn't convince him. He actually agreed with 2 other balding friends to take the plunge together, to shave it and let it all go, and they all showed up at church together bic-ed bald. (All but one, whose wife got him to keep his hair for a couple of weeks longer....but he has now jumped on the bandwagon.)
I was worried he wouldn't look as great bald, but I was pleasantly surprised. My husband has a very handsome bald head! The funny thing is how he didn't do it alone. My husband isn't one to hesitate in doing anything alone or on his own, but with this venture, he got his friends and kids to do it with him. (One of the other guys got his boys to shave bald, too.) It reminded me of teenage girls who can't take a bathroom break unless their friends go with them. Some things are just more fun in numbers, I guess.
All sooo handsome!
(The mow hawk Porter had in the last post was a baby step to going bald. Sariah actually paid him a dollar to go with the mow hawk, and unfortunately he fell in love with it and cried when I finally shaved it off.)

Umm, that first picture is disturbing for so many reasons. But I think the most disturbing fact is that I think those are a woman's hands slicking it down...yikes! and yes Bruce Willis!
if you go blonde I will too...
