NO GOING BACK NOW! true story!
By a Recruit
I am about 16 years old and a freshman in high school. I am a typical teenager and love everything the average teen loves. Like most guys, i spend hours in front of the mirror primping my hair before i go school in the morning. i ahve always wondered about what it would be like to be bald. My brother cory ahd been bald before an di ahd even helped him buzz his hair to the ground but i myself had neevr had short hair. At one point, he even offered me a buzz but i rejected it as always.
There would be many times that i would find myself steering in the mirror with a set of clippers in my hand, ready to plow through the thick locks that make up my hair. I could neevr bring myself to do so. the last week of school i decided to get a crewcut for the first time. i went to the local solon were my brtoher has gone for years. The lady who appeared from the back, aske dme to ahve a seat in her chair. She rapped her nylon cape around my neck and fastened it tight. No going back now.
"Do you know what blade you use?" she asked.
I just acted puzzled, i had no idea. I didnt knwo there were difrent sizes seeing how the barber only used one set of clippers and a comb on me before.
"So your knew at this huh? we will start you out at a 31/2." she said.
She began to work. Running her clippers up one side then the other. pass after pass, a larger clump of hair would fall to my cape.
"Maybe we should go shorter huh? it wouldnt be much of a change?"
"No, thats fine" i replied.
She trimmed the top and finished me up and then sent me off. I ahve to say, i liked my new cut, it felt great. The next dayi was shopping around wheni saw a pair of hair clippers. I wen tover to inspevt them and saw that they looked pretty good. I bought them. It was the next to last day of school and i dont ahve any class so i went home and took the clippers out of the package. I closely examined them and took them into the bathroom. I put a towel around my neck and turned them on. i put the 1/2 inch attachment on them and and with one shaky pass, right down the middle of hair, it was as short as ever. Next, i took the attachment of the clippers and put the bare steel aganst the sides of my head and back making a very short haircut. It was a wesome feeling.
The next day was a half a dy for the rest o school but i did not ahve nay classes. As soon as i got up, i went into the bathroom and picked up the clippers. Its now or never. I put the 1/4 inch attachment on and right down the middle. Man was that short. Next i put the 1/8 attachment on and that made it even more short! WOW! I then found a 1/16 of an inch attachment and put it on. NOw that is short. What the hell, i put the steel to my forehead and pushed it down my head removing any hair thatw as left. I was bald. That when i paniced, what would my family say? what would i do? I ahd to face them with my bald head, what ahve i done? There is no going back now!
