I would not do it unless I needed to. But, I was going to say you would look fab! Then I see you did it and you look fab!! I think you have the attitude, confidence, and your makeup is always so well done--you can pull off whatever look you want.

You look beautiful after the haircut/shaving! I love it, and it suits your style.
I don't think I'd ever do it by choice. Just personal preference.

It totally suits you. How have your boys reacted?  Will you have to apply sun lotion over your head now it's more exposed?

Y'all are fabulous <3
This is definitely going to take some getting used to. I didn't think about it at all when i was working last night, but every now and then I'd catch myself in the mirror and it was a little jarring but that is pretty typical of any change so likely just a time thing.
Showering was super odd feeling but doing my hair afterwards made me want to keep it shaved forever. I got caught in a crazy downpour and my hair was perfect so I celebrated and then realized how much of the rain my hair usually keeps off of my face. I'm going to need an umbrella.
I didn't realize his tongue was split until I looked back at the picture but DH and I had some conversation about it last night. It confuses me so much, mostly because I truly had no idea. Somehow it doesn't affect his speech at all. I feel like I'm going to have so many questions the next time I go.
i was actually surprised by the kids responses. Usually they think I'm old, tragically unhip, and simply ridiculous. I saw 2/3 of the boys yesterday and before I had it done had a conversation with Josh and he said he thought it would look really cool and I should do it. He's seen the picture, but closed last night and I'm old so i was asleep before he got home. After it was done, I saw the youngest and he said "I think it's going to need to grow on me, it's a big change." but he happily sat across from me at lunch (mostly because I was buying!) so I'll take it. DH is definitely a fan.
I had a party last night and the girls were pretty excited about it with lots of questions. Absolutely zero reaction out and about in public which was kind of nice as I was feeling a little self-conscious running errands after I left the barber shop yesterday.
Day 1! ha

I clearly shaved my head before, but like others here, it was for chemo. I got a lot of compliments on it and was actually pleased and didn’t mind it. I’m shy and self-conscious though and not all flashy, so I really only went natural at home. I had a beanie or scarf on when I went out—no wigs for me though, ever! Wish I had the courage to go free though. I will say that bald heads get cold FAST!. Most of the time I felt I needed the beanie for comfort reasons.
Be prepared for people to assume you’re sick, even though you look healthy. You’ll get lots of sympathy smiles.
Looks great on you!

You look incredible. I’d shave my head if I thought I’d rock it even half as well as you do.

You look fantastic! I have never had the desire to shave my head but DD19 recently had hers shaved for a St. Baldrick's Day fundraiser for pediatric cancer research. Her roommate did it too. I'm finally getting used to seeing her buzzed but it's taken a few weeks. Her roomie looks adorable bald. DD? Not so much.

You look wonderful, Steph! I hope that I look 1/3 as good when mine all falls out by the end of June.

you look great, Steph!
(be sure to use sunscreen or wear a hat if you're out in the sun-- my boyfriend has a buzz cut like that, and his melon can get very badly burned, very quickly.)
ETA: my older sister had hair that length after her chemotherapy, and she loved it-- easy, no maintenance, and it looked great on her. She did want to keep it that length, but people kept asking her if she was still sick. So she grew it out-- just a bit.

No comments so far from the public.
Clients seem to think I'm a badass. A few acquaintances have asked if I did it for a reason. The mom of a kids friend was obviously startled when she stopped to chat last night but almost acted afraid to say anything.
My team thinks it's fab but asked if I was going to turn this into a training session about making yourself vulnerable and ending with leading the whole team to a mass head shaving at the next retreat.
Not a bad idea! ha
I'm a big fan of showering, although I keep reaching for the hair dryer. muscle memory is strong!
I've also asked dh twice how my hair looks- once after being in the rain and once after pulling a shirt over my head that got stuck. I got a blank stare and then realized that it doesn't change.

OMG! You look awesome.  Seriously, you are a beautiful lady, either way, but your cheek bones are fabulous, and the shaved hair is perfect. Sorry for that comma induced sentence. LOL!!
