I did. Once. Never again.
Actually, it wasn’t entirely shaved … though most military males have more hair than I did. At the longest point, it was maybe half an inch long, and just gone everywhere else. I think it would have shocked the hell out of most of my high school, except for the fact that my best friend at the time had a foot long electric blue mohawk.
Getting mistaken for a man wasn’t a problem. I just looked weird.
After that point, I let it grow and grow and was terrified to have it cut. When I finally gave in, my hair was so long that I was sitting on it and they cut off over 16 inches of hair.
