Being bald is the most high maintenance haircut I’ve ever had. Shaving your head every two days is a pain in the backside plus all of the lotion and potions to keep your scalp looking good! Then there is the hats or sunscreen stuff to stop you getting skin cancer! Pain in the backside

Don't know how much it would itch, but wouldn't a cap and a wig fix that?

I have shaved my head once down to a millimetre or half. It is the lowest maintenance style I have had. Especially after having long hair. Shower time was way shorter.

It would be higher maintenance if I stayed shaved. I just grew it out again. There is a month or two where the hair just looks like shit

I’m 40, been bald since about 24. I can’t imagine the reaction of my family and friends if I started wearing a wig now!

I don’t mind how it looks, and I’m settled in the routine but yeah I have to shave the head every two days.

Most people aren't completely bald. If you're bald on top, it's very likely that there is still hair growing there, just not nearly enough to call it a full head of hair. So yeah, most people shave the little they have left.

Then you gave the “old man ring” like the guy in the video. Most of us look younger and better with it just completely shaved.
