At what point did you decide to shave your head?

I have had AA for 2 months now. I have lost a lot of hair but by the grace of God he gave me a head full so it still looks like I have a ton of hair. I can cover my spots with my remaining hair but I have to zig zag my part and hair spray it like a helmet so the wind doesn't blow it to reveal my spots. The spots on top are coin size so "it isn't that bad" but I hate fixing my hair. It is torture. I do have a spot as big as my palm in the very back...and growing but that is covered. So do I wait till the spots get bigger? How do I know if all my hair is going to all fall out? Or how to know that it has stopped? I hate the process of it falling out and putting it in the trash can. What made you decide to finally shave it? The pictures of everyone on here are inspiring!

Anna Hall that is a good suggestion.

I just shaved the rest of my hair off last week.  Feels so much better than seeing all over the house, the full brush every morning and worrying about washing it every day.  It wasn't a hard decision, it looked awful with all the bald spots. But everyone has to decide when the right time for them is.  Now to face the world!

I shaved it when I took a good look and decided to be completely honest. Here's what my head really looked like; I was combing my hair and adding products 9 ways to Monday trying to hide. I decided to stop living my life hidden, although for a good while I got away with it. Eventually you have to just be real with yourself. Here is a few photos to back this up

I never looked back. I feel better and have been since I shaved, March 6, 2011
