What's the best thing about having a drastic change in hairstyle? It really draws attention. The reaction from others is just fantastic. Questions of why followed by compliments and approval makes the change worthwhile.
Personally, it's life transforming because wherever I go, the reflections I see from mirrors, windows, reflective door panels or even the shape of my shadow makes me feel different and new. It has a psychological effect of change and transformation. Furhemore, the feel of running my hand over the short cropped hair is really pleasurable. Felt like a permanent spiky fabric over my top.
What's next? A beard?
