I do not care what any one says, i love the shaved head! Given, it does not suit everybody. If  you have the head and face for the side shave and you are brave enough to shave your locks then do it! If worn and presented right, the half shave can really work. I just hate how people say how ratty it is and blah blah blah, if the person who has shaved their head likes it, that is clearly all that matters!
