I’d do it for a thousand.
It’d have to be a considerable amount because I’m in the middle of growing it out of a pixie cut from about two years ago - it’s now shoulder length and my mum’s wedding is in three weeks and my year 12 formal is about a week after that. Maybe afterwards, but now, I’m too vain.
Would this be a one-time thing or would you have to keep it shaved for a certain amount of time?
It would be nice to be completely debt-free and have some extra money to play with, so a minimum of $20,000 sounds good to me.
Female, 48, with two big cysts on top of my head just a smidge to the right of the occipital bone. I have to part my hair to the side to cover them but for the right price, I guess I wouldn’t mind baring them to the world.
not too much. maybe three hundred bucks. Less if it were for some kind of purpose like a part in a play or donating it to bald kids or something.
Aside from the fact that I’m sure it would emphasize my cancer patient/concentration camp look, I could probably pull off short hair/no hair. I don’t have an abnormally large, pointed, or lumpy scalp.
And I’m 15 and female and have shoulder-length hair dyed brown
28, female, hair below my waist. Maybe $500,000. If someone were actually offering me the cash right now, instead of it being a message board poll? Maybe $10,000. Maybe. I’d look terrible with a shaved head. Just awful. My husband would cry, too. A lot.
Female, mid-40’s. I’d do it for free if it amused me.
Female/26
At least $10,000. My hair is coppery red (my grandfather says it’s the color of pure gold. I’ve never seen pure gold so I don’t know). It’s about 5" below my shoulders, thick, straight, and very healthy. I love my hair and I have no delusions about my body. If not for my hair, the only thing anyone would ever notice about me is my big tits.
My hair grows fairly quickly but I look really stupid with even mid neck length hair so I can only begin to imagine how bad I’d look shaved. Also, I have scars on my scalp from a very bad bout of lice (when I was 10). I don’t really want to broadcast those. AND, I have traditional red-head coloring. I am very pale, my skin has a bluish tint to it. I also have very light eyelashes and brows. I also have blue eyes. Without hair, everything above my neck would disappear.
$10k would give me the ability to pay off my debt and have some money in the bank so I think I could suffer for a year or so for that amount.
I wouldn’t need money. I’d need to know that it wouldn’t influence my situation at work negatively.
Being a female in a profession that people still think of as male (engineer), I’m expected to look boringly conservative.
Male, 39. I’d shave my head for a strong cup of coffee or a sandwich… backrub? A good joke?
Hell, I don’t care. It’s only hair. My hair doesn’t make me who I am.
One time thing.
Since my usual pattern is ‘grow it for four months then cut it really short’, I’d probably go pretty cheap.
My beard would take a bit more persuading.
Male, 48. I shave mine from time to time, usually once a year. Around here is goes pretty well unnoticed.
Male, 39. Cheap - make me an offer. I accept PayPal.
Back in my late teens/early twenties (can’t remember), I shaved off my shoulder-length hippy locks and raised a few hundred quid for charity.
Caused me no end of trouble actually, because, as a poor manual worker, I used to buy clothes at the army surplus store and the combination of shaven head and khaki made people mistakenly assume I was a neo-nazi - I was challenged aggressively several times and beaten up once.
I’d never do it. The sort of money that would have to be on the table for me to even consider voluntarily shaving my head would finance several concurrent guerrilla wars or rebel insurrections in various third world countries.
I’ve got medium length hair, and I like it that way.
Male, 25.
Male, 40
I paid R50 (about $8) to have mine shaved as part of a shave-a-thon to collect money for a cancer charity. Since then I kept my hair short as now I don’t need to comb it anymore.
Male, 22. I have middling-long hair, halfway down my neck right now. My ex calls it Japanese Rockstar Hair. It takes about four months to grow out to proper length, but about seven for it to recover its texture from a chop-and-go haircut.
I wore a flattop for about eight years, and then a buzzcut for two more, up until I was 20. I will kill the person, man, woman, or child, who tries to put me back there. Like Martini, if someone can put me in the Nine Zero Club, I might start negotiating.
It means a lot more than hair to me. Growing my hair out is something I associate with growing up, away from my parents and into the world at large, like not wearing long shorts with calf socks, or not wearing sweatpants when I’m going out. I imagine in ten or fifteen years I’ll shorten it up, but not that much.
I had my head shaved about half a dozen times when I was a kid for brain surgery, so I’m used to the look. I also look horrible with long hair so I’d go pretty cheap, just make me an offer.
-Lil
$12. That’s what it cost me the last 2 times the barbers cut too close the the scalp…
Idiots could not fathom, “I want my hair 1/2 inch long.”
Probably at least $10K, maybe more like $20K. I look too masculine with too-short hair, and I’d have to wear makeup and maybe even earrings every day to make up for it.
Female, 32.
- Female. My hair is 14" long, naturally curly, and envied by many. But if someone handed me enough money to cover my college loan and misc debt (about $25K total) I would shave myself bald in a heartbeat.
