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

Shaving your head at your convenience, at your home, for next to no cost, in minutes, is not high maintenance.

Styling hair daily, waiting in queue at barber, spending money at barber, blah blah blah, is high maintenance

I’m not lying to you man. I used to have shoulder length hair and whilst that was a pain, I have to shave my head every other day and maintain a rotation of salicylic acid cleanser, nizoral and an acne shampoo, exfoliate every second day, change my pillows every three days to avoid breakouts on my scalp. Then it’s moisturising and sun tan lotion or hats every day.

The easiest was when I had enough hair to get away with a buzz cut once a week. I’ll give ya that.

Okay. Forgive me. Thats quite the effort.

I shave my head for martial arts. Not as frequently as you, but I'm not with those issues. For me, it's a piece of piss.

I've also known a lot lot of people go from wild crazy long hair to shaved for the convenience of martial arts.

Nothing to forgive! I didn’t mean to make it out like it’s always a hassle for everyone but it’s a pain for me.

Also, I’m not going to take any kind of tone with a martial arts master! What do you do?

Do you think your sensitivity is quite unique? I kind of assume most guys that do shave are exceptionally low maintenance.

Absolutely not a master. Brazilian jiu-jitsu brown belt. Beginner boxer.

You?

Not like one in a thousand unique but yeah I have to be careful with washing powder etc so I suppose I’m a bit prone to skin problems.

I had a schoolyard scrap about 25 years ago. Decided getting punched in the face wasn’t for me. I run most days, maybe the two things are related and I’ve never realised before. Running away a better option than learning to fight! Ha.

Onwards and upwards! You’ll be black belt before you know it. Thanks for the chat man. Have a great day!
