For nearly my entire life I've had really shaggy hair. For about half a decade up until today it's been below my shoulders. Today on a whim I decided to cut it all off. So I did and then took an electric clipper with a 1mm guard and cut all the hair off of my head. I've had short hair but never anything shaved. I'm really not liking how it feels. My ears and head feel so cold, even worse becasue winter is coming up fast and it gets really cold where I am. The wind feels extremely harsh against my scalp, and I can't touch my head with anything without noticing the lack of hair between it and my scalp. Worst of all is that I can't touch my head with anything bigger than a point without EXTREME discomfort. I can't lay down on a pillow without feeling like each hair is a tiny needle poking into me. And rubbing against anything is even worse. I can't rub my head, I don't know how sleeping is gonna go, I'm not looking forward to it. It's seeming like I might just have to constantly wear a beanie until I adjust or get a basic head of hair back. Mainly just venting here because there's no way I could go to the people I live with and complain that I regret shaving all my hair off on a fucking whim.

Funny, I did the exact same thing a few days ago. It's cold and it looks bad, but showering is wonderful! And it's going to grow out again soon enough.

OP here, it seems the discomfort is already over. I managed to eventually fall asleep and when I woke up I didn't feel the pain from putting my head on the pillow. I don't know why it was so bad or why it got better so quickly, but it did and now I'm glad I did it.

I shaved my head to avoid brain blasting electromagnetic waves emitted from commercial buzzers barbers use. Unfortunately it e-blasts my strands like a cybercrash. Stay low on the funkwaves, heard it gets better under UV treatment.

Just have normal hair and use shampoo/conditioner designed for the hair you want.
