Being bald actually suits me and I've done this twice, so I'm kind of used to it. I hate the bumfluff. It's great to see some activity on your noggin, but that weirdo poodle hair was more of an insult than having none at all. It was a constant reminder of treatment which I didn't want to deal with. Heaps of people have really short hair for non cancer reasons, I decided I'd rather pretend to be one of them.
I kept mine buzzed at a #4 for nearly 18 months and am only now starting to grow it to a non-statement length, It's really thick and looks like normal hair, even though it is, and always has been, unruly
