Hair Care:My headshave in Barber Shop
2010-07-27
Name: Priya



Hi I live in US. After seeing some of my friends getting their headshaved for charity. I decided to do it too. I told my parents that I would like to doante my hair, they did not object.

I called the local barber shop to find out about it.

They said if I have long hair, they will take at least 10 inches of hair and give me a free hair cut of my choice.

I have hair just below my shoulders, So I siad I would like to give all of it and would go for a clean headshave.

They said they have an event the nex tday for \" locks of love\" foundaton and I can come in anytme during working hours. I told my friends I am going to donate my hair for \" Locks of Love\" foundation.
They cheered me and said they would join me at the barbershop to see me shaving my head.

The next day , I shampooed my hair for the last time, blowdried ,tied it into 2 pony tails got ready and headed to the barber shop.


The Barber welcomed me and asked if i am there for the \" locks of love\" envent. I said yes.
He asked me what I wanted to do. I said I would like to give all the hair, so told hime to take all of it and give me a clean headshave.
meanwhile my friends came in.

He asked me if I was ready. I said yes and he showed me the barber chair to sit.
I sat in the chair, he put a cape around my neck, turned the chair back to face the mirror.
He took the clippers set it to zero and started from front. He clipper shaved one side of my head , got the pony tail from one side and gave it to my hand.
I waved it my friends. I looked funny with one side pony tail and other side shaved. He took off the other pony tail too and gave it my hand.
He made sure my head was clealy clippered. then he put a warm towel on my head for a few minutes.
It felt really good.
He applied shaving foam on my head and asked me If I prefer a razor shave. I said yes.

He got his straigt razor out inserted a new balde and started to sahve my head. The scraping noice of the razor was so soothing I closed my eyes and started to enjoy my headshave.
He gave a reverse shave to make it smooth.
After he completed shaving, he put a cold towel and wiped my head clean to remove any shaving soap on my skin. He then put some peppermint aftershave. It was so cool. Then he put some moisturizing lotion on my shaved head and massaged gently, it was so soothing. I looked at my self in the mirror, saw my smooth shavedhead, touched my head with my habds to feel it. It was so smooth and so soft. My friends came and sarted touching my smooth head saying it was really cool of me to donate my hair.
Seeing me shave my firnds too wanted to shave their heads. They all sat one after the other and all of us are bald now.
After completeing all of us posed for a photo holding our hair in the hand.
Then we dropped of the hair in the carity box.

We decided to enjoy this summer going around bald. We decided to get our heads shaved once again after 2 weeks. We all took appointment for the next headshave and walked out happily caressing our soft smooth heads.

Dear Priya,
I read your message & feel excited remembering my own headshave at kalyakatta,Tirupati on 21st March,2010.Before my headshave I have feared about haircut as my mother shaved my head(before my secondary examination) due to lice.Then I was just sixteen years old & would not able to go out for one month.Everybody used called me ' taklu' .So when my husband give me a proposal to offer my hair to god of tirumala I became embarashed.But ultimately I have to shave my head & shaving at tirupati I enjoyed a lot.After just three days I told my husband to shave me again & he himself shaved my head.Now I am maintaining school boy cut hair & very happy with it.I have told lot of talk.I just want to ask you why you have shaved?Only for charity?In US I know straight razor in woman' s head is not allowed.How your barber shaves you with straight razor?Please clear my doubts.

Hi Bubla, I wanted to shave my head so that I can dontae my hair for a cause.
In Beauty salons, they only cut and style they dont do headshaves.

Headshaves are done only in Barbershops. Barbers are different from hair stylers.Yes they do use straight razors. But the blades are disposable.
They do have the old style straight razors in US but they are mostly for personal use, some men like to use straight razors for shaving.
Barbers use only those with disposable baldes.

I have shoulder length hair now. I´ m kind of hesitant to tonsure it again now even though I´ d I´ d like to.
I sometimes like to watch tonsure videos on youtube and imagine being tonsured. That´ s the best I can do :-(

Priya, i have tonsured my head in the past. This was some 7-8 years back in Tirumala. Though I would like to do it again, i don´ t for fear of what my family/friends would say/feel.
However i try to compromise by reading about the tonsure stories of others.
