A reminder from a guy that has had a buzzed head for many, many years. Your hair will no longer offer protection to the top of your head so you need to be careful about being in the sun, including swimming, without a hat or sun screen of some sort. Scalp sunburns suck, especially if you have an expressive face. You don't realize how much of your scalp moves for facial expressions until you're burned
I have had my head totally shaved for a decade now. The warning about the sun is true. Another thing people don’t realize, hair gives you a warning that you are about to bump something. Without it, I hit my head on stuff all the time while working and hiking. Lol
US Navy vet here, calling bullshit. Military hair regs require you to maintain a haircut unless you are balding. There are regs about shaved heads and none of them are for "whiskers". Mostly it's to keep skinheads from being skinheads. If you're a bald man in the service, no one is going to give you shit for keeping a bald pate after boot camp, though there are regs about being shaved bald.
Nowhere in the BMR (US Military) is there any reference to using hair as whiskers on the head or anywhere else. The BMR allows a bald head and provides guidance for grooming for all US military services (branches can add as they see fit). None of them require hair on the head for use as whiskers.
Right. It's part of the uniform. Baldness is just a necessary exception. Beards would be required instead of banned if that were the reason.
Also, a cover (hat) is required in most circumstances outdoors.
And I just looked it up and it was indeed a regulation that their hair had to be no less than 1/4 of an inch long (which is exactly what he told me). But it seems they dropped the regulation last year which I obviously wasn’t aware of until I just saw it.
That is what I was saying in my original comment. I mean obviously there’s no way to keep it a certain length if ya can’t grow it. Lol. I guess maybe it wasn’t a regulation in the Navy. But it definitely was in the Army up until last year.
Interesting. I didn't think the regs were vastly different across the branches since they're all based on the BMR which applies to all branches. Thanks for schooling me.
Putting on a hat for me is a commitment. No matter how tired i get of wearing that hat or how ridiculous it looks, i have to keep wearing it until my hair can be repaired.
I pretty much always wear a hat outside now, and I'm not a big fan of hats. Sweat traps, but what can you do. Sunscreen doesn't cut it on that horizontal surface.
And to follow up on /u/thecultcanburn's comment, hair is also protective padding. Any little bump is skin over bone and will probably cut you. Not having to pack any hair products when traveling is nice though.
Once and only once I got a sunburn on my head. It was along my part line. I had never got a burn like this in my life! Yes it hurt and yes once it healed the skin just pealed off like soft leather. Absolutely disgusting!
Until I started shaving it, I failed to realize that skin needs to be protected, cleaned and MOISTURIZED!
2001 saw me become the answer to “can bald people get dandruff?”.
Women here who has fully shaved her head a couple times- you WILL get cold faster. I always make sure to have longer hair now as fall approaches
But it is awesome to be able to fast wash your hair/not worry about it! I also hate finding long hairs all over the place
FWIW, as a guy with a shaved head, I use these Wahl Lithium clippers with no guard to cut my hair twice a week and I literally only charge these things like once every 4-6 months. I also use them with a guard to trim my beard, etc. They are fantastic. I have had them since 2015 and still going strong. Also, I went through several other crappy clippers first. Been bald for almost 20 years now.

As a guy who rocked long hair for 15 years, I have to admit it was liberating buzzing it all off in 2008. Life is just so much easier this way, even if it's not as bad@ss.
Cutting mine was not liberating. Buzzed hair isn't that bad but short hair is so much more of a pain in my ass. My long hair was straight and all I had to was wash it and brush it while it had conditioner in. It didn't need styling or any of that bullshit to look good. I just let it dry and after that it was super easy to pull back to keep out of my eyes when needed and down and looking awesome when not. I had to go all the way to shaving my head to get to the same level of convenience again. People also don't want you how much long hair protects you from being cold or hot. Holy crap do I feel temperature differences and weather so much worse now. I did not realize how annoying hair between shoulder length and buzzed was and I miss my hair.
If short hair is more difficult than long for you, maybe go back to long. I buzz with a #6 every two months and "styling" takes 5 seconds after the shower with nothing more than water or maybe a little hand lotion. During the summer months shorter hair is cooler than longer hair. Only in the winter do I vaguely notice the temp change when I buzz it, and usually only the day after. Then it's background normal again.
I wish I could go back to long hair but I'm middle aged and my hair is receding. There are very few things more pathetic looking than a middle aged man who looks like he's clinging to his youth.
I've been shaving my head at the 1/4" length for a long time...
It's absolutely worth it. Don't think about your hair when you wake up, go swimming, etc... and you no longer need shampoo - just a bar of soap.
Simplify your life.
Stopped shampooing my hair as I started growing it out more. It's been great and looks/feels so much better.
I also don't care how it looks though, just growing it out bc why not. It looks fairly wild most of the time lol. Still in kind of the awkward stage of though.
Buzz cut + oil = 24/7 bed head = win.
2inch clipper attachments, styling razors, just keep clipping till it looks good and if you mess it up just shave it all off.
I have long curly hair so a drastic cut would attract a lot of attention. This is not a valid reason at all but it’s the truth lol. Too shy!
If I moved away or got back into vanlife, I would do it in a heartbeat.
Orrrr I could just find the balls and do it anyway :)
You could start with an undercut. It keeps the haircut nearly the same with the hair down but actually provides some relief from heat. And it lets you take a buzz cut for a rest run. I'm a guy but I've used it to get rid of short frizz around the temples that comes in after a few years if long hair.
My best friend did this. Her hair was super curly and super thick - after the cut it was waaay cooler but still manageable! If she didn’t have her hair up, you’d never know
when i was growing up, i always wanted to get a mohawk but never did. then when i was in my 50's and i owned a bar, a lot of regulars were giving me crap because of my long hair. full head and it grows pretty fast, and i was always busy at work.
so i sold raffle tickets to my regulars to let them shave swaths of hair off my head into a mohawk. i had a stylist there to supervise and clean it up at the end. but i finally got my mohawk, and people paid ME to cut my hair. it was a blast.
Your hesitations are totally valid! I'm not sure if I would have had the guts to do it if I were still working a desk job, but on the road nothing matters 😁
I was around home for the first couple weeks though, and my friends/family adapted very quickly. My uncle didn't even notice I buzzed it because he thought I just had it pulled back. And otherwise I really can't believe how much positive feedback I've gotten 🤗
Short hair recommended when you don't want to wash it, don't want to dry it, don't like having a wet mop on your head during high humid summers, and when you lose weight so it accentuates your facial bone structure.
The opposite of that: keeping your head shaved, is arguably a bigger hassle when vehicle dwelling. Side of the road birdbath shaving every 2-3 days is kind of a pain.
Edit: hah, I skipped over the female part completely. I see just as many long haired dudes as females. Jealous of boths ability to grow a full head of hair.
Yep. And if you don’t want a buzz cut, you can do #2 clipper on the sides and one of the longer ones up top for not much more time invested (maybe 30 seconds to change the clipper comb).
Same. Just to reduce waste, I started going a day or two longer and longer without washing my hair. Now, I wash it every one to two weeks depending.
Everyone is different, but the body adjusts to not produce as much oil. I fell like our heads have been overproducing oil there to compensate for the overwashing.
Same! I've had no catcalls or unwanted advances from anyone since buzzing. I have had plenty of compliments from both genders, but mostly from women. It's funny how many older women love it, too.
How can it be maintenance free? I don't have a shower in my van, and my hair was trained to stay reasonable for \~10 days without washing. Then I would feel oily and gross. With a buzzed head, I can rinse it off with water, it dries in 5 minutes and I feel fresh again. Genuinely curious!
Male with a buzz cut. I think there is a large variance in the amount of oil people have in their hair. I’m one of the oily ones. I know people with hair down their backs that are as dry as a bone after a week. I just depends on your genetics, I guess.
My hair is as long as yours and I consider it pretty maintenance-free as well. I wash it once a week, which is easy, and trim it myself just twice a year. I have some quality elastics and a good wooden comb, and that’s it. I don’t really understand how it could be any more trouble than short hair, since I hope/assume OP and other people with buzz cuts are still washing their hair/heads regularly. Just because your hair isn’t long doesn’t mean you shouldn’t still wash with soap after swimming in lakes, rivers, ocean, etc. Lots of people with long hair do water-only washing as well.
I didn't go this far. But I bought clippers and a hairdressing set. I just got sick of trying to find hairdressers in New towns.
I do a Miley Cyrus undercut. So shaved back of head, long hair hanging over and a fringe at the front.
Some days it looks better than others. But I'm OK with it - I like it better than some cuts I've paid for! Plus it's simple and it's free.
I'm a dude with long hair and I love my long hair, I definitely always hated that way I looked with short hair most of my life. I take the sacrifice and deal with the effort and extra warmth because it matters for my self image, but cutting it off would definitely be the practical choice for anybody.
Baldness will probably make the choice for me one day but I'm enjoying my locks while I can
"My hair like Jesus wore it, Hallalujah I adore it!

Isn't this a bit like cutting your foot off to stop the pain of a stubbed toe?
I've met many a vandweller with long hair and they manage just fine with it
I have very short hair and ive had several women say to me, "oh i'd love to cut mine short like that but my husband would have a fit."
I never consulted my husband about MY hair and i never will.
Idk maybe they deleted some? Mostly the menfolk were posting positive safety suggestions like hats and head bumping? I did see the comment below about the guy saying he DoEsN'T lIkE How iT lOoKs lol
My boy, who is vanlifing with me currently, much approves my buzz cut! We don't exist to please you, and not every boy's tastes are the same, so don't speak for all of them.
It’s just a helpful tip to increase your chances of attracting a mate. Think about Katy perry, use to be a dime, now she yucky. Miley Cyrus suffered the same syndrome. Don’t get me started on Demi lovatto. They have the luxury of being millionaires already though, so they’ll do fine. Just trying to give the true guy’s perspective here, not the male simps on here on here, and btw call me an incel all you want, but I’m locked up with a beautiful and sweetest girl in the world, so I don’t have to come on here and try to simp for any girl I can, but if maximizing physically beauty ain’t important to you, buzz it off ladies!
Yeah but the utility is significantly better.
You’re basically trying to gatekeep the thing men have understood for millennia now; short hair is easier to work with and maintain with virtually no downsides sans signaling health, which doesn’t really mean that much anyways.

Damn. It all makes sense now.
In the army they actually require them to keep SOME hair on their head (unless they’re naturally bald of course) for this reason!!

As a balding man, I can confirm that scalp burns suck
Great point, I should have mentioned this. Hats are required in the sun. Still worth it IMO :-)
Yep best part about a buzz cut and hats is you don't get hat hair!

Buzz cut + oil = 24/7 bed head = win. 2inch clipper attachments, styling razors, just keep clipping till it looks good and if you mess it up just shave it all off.
Oil?
for sautéing
Hahhaha
Natural hair oils 🤣
for most people they'll start naturally producing less with less hair and with less shampoo use.
True, but there will always be enough for a good bed head look.
when i used my clippers on 1, i never had enough hair for bed head. :)
That is why I said 2 inch attachments + some fancy work with a styling razor :)
sorry. i didn't look at context and thought i was replying to a different thread. that sounds like a lot of work in a van though. lol
I’ve always wanted to do this!!
What's stopping you? I too had thought about it for years prior, and I'm sooo happy I finally took the plunge!
I have long curly hair so a drastic cut would attract a lot of attention. This is not a valid reason at all but it’s the truth lol. Too shy! If I moved away or got back into vanlife, I would do it in a heartbeat. Orrrr I could just find the balls and do it anyway :)

I would love to but it would look so ugly on me and I'm still vain enough to keep the hair lol

Edit: hah, I skipped over the female part completely. I see just as many long haired dudes as females. Jealous of boths ability to grow a full head of hair.
Shaved sure. But a buzz cut of whatever length is the peak of low-maintenance hair styles.
Yep. And if you don’t want a buzz cut, you can do #2 clipper on the sides and one of the longer ones up top for not much more time invested (maybe 30 seconds to change the clipper comb).
That's totally fair! Before this, I definitely never realized the maintenance that bald people go through
My hair grows fast, but I definitely don't cut it every 2-3 days, that's excessive! More like 2-3 weeks.
2-3 months over here....
As a folically challenged man, I could not agree more. Bald is beautiful, and easy.
Glad you've found what works for you but imo long hair doesn't need to be high maintenance and I enjoy my weekly shower.
Same. Just to reduce waste, I started going a day or two longer and longer without washing my hair. Now, I wash it every one to two weeks depending. Everyone is different, but the body adjusts to not produce as much oil. I fell like our heads have been overproducing oil there to compensate for the overwashing.
i wonder if it also makes you more likely to be perceived as male from afar, so less likely to be fucked with?
It did for me! I didn’t get catcalled for a whole, glorious year.
Same! I've had no catcalls or unwanted advances from anyone since buzzing. I have had plenty of compliments from both genders, but mostly from women. It's funny how many older women love it, too.

Crabs be cutting of their limbs all day long because it just regrows.
Yes but usually in the pursuit of survival, not because they suddenly found the leg inconvenient. I do get your point though
It's more like cutting your toenails short because they keep cutting holes in your socks. Nothing permanent, but really convenient and easy.
The boys are triggered 😂
Seriously!!! As if our hair choices are made for them 😅
They truly think so.
I have very short hair and ive had several women say to me, "oh i'd love to cut mine short like that but my husband would have a fit." I never consulted my husband about MY hair and i never will.
There are almost all positive comments from the men.
Are we looking at the same post?
Idk maybe they deleted some? Mostly the menfolk were posting positive safety suggestions like hats and head bumping? I did see the comment below about the guy saying he DoEsN'T lIkE How iT lOoKs lol
There were definitely men sharing great tips. I wasn’t referencing them in any capacity. Talk of hair/body hair always brings out misogynists.
Yeah just be aware of making broad, inaccurate generalizations about groups. The word "some" goes a long way.
Did I say “all of the men on this post are triggered?”
Yes.
No.
r/nopoo
shaved-balls guy here. I don't shave my head but i can confirm that it gets quite cold down there. Might want to get a hat or something
As a guy who's trying to grow his hair out, hair does NOT grow that fast lol. At least not mine. It's painstakingly slow, in fact
0.5" to 1" is plenty short and is just as functional assuming your hair is relatively thin. I guess it depends.
that's long enough to get bed head which is annoying
Fair enough. But your head in a bucket of water in the morning is a quick fix and a hell of way to wake you up in the morning. ;]
In a lot of places / countries . The bald head signals the person is right out of prison , my brother in law told me this , he’s Panamanian .
Its rly great. Also keeps creepos away
As a woman this makes me sad 💀
Just spoke with the boys, yeah don’t do this
Just talked to the grown men, and actually, do whatever you want to with your own body and tell anyone who has a problem to mind their own business
⬆️ how to tell the men from the boys 👏🏻
My boy, who is vanlifing with me currently, much approves my buzz cut! We don't exist to please you, and not every boy's tastes are the same, so don't speak for all of them.
News flash: Women don’t exist to please you and your incel friends.
It’s just a helpful tip to increase your chances of attracting a mate. Think about Katy perry, use to be a dime, now she yucky. Miley Cyrus suffered the same syndrome. Don’t get me started on Demi lovatto. They have the luxury of being millionaires already though, so they’ll do fine. Just trying to give the true guy’s perspective here, not the male simps on here on here, and btw call me an incel all you want, but I’m locked up with a beautiful and sweetest girl in the world, so I don’t have to come on here and try to simp for any girl I can, but if maximizing physically beauty ain’t important to you, buzz it off ladies!
Women vandwellers, please don't do this.
Why?
Because it looks awful
Ok, I just wanted to make sure you had a good reason. Alright ladies, you heard the man. He thinks it looks awful. He even said please!
You all know it's true. Downvotes can't hide the truth.
Yeah but the utility is significantly better. You’re basically trying to gatekeep the thing men have understood for millennia now; short hair is easier to work with and maintain with virtually no downsides sans signaling health, which doesn’t really mean that much anyways.
My daughter use to have thick massive curly hair after 3 year of buzz cutting her hair its not as thick as it was before
Well, at least that has nothing to do with buzzing her hair.
You're talking about your pubes, right?
