Share Before & After Pics Of Your Extreme Haircut Transformations
You just know that when a girl shows up with a radically different haircut or goes for that long to short hair look, it's either she just broke up with her boyfriend, she's trying to get your attention or was feeling sad and chose the best pick-me-up known for humankind.
Every one of us who have cut their hair at least once knows that blissful feeling of losing a few kilos from their heads and starting afresh. There's really no better way to improve your mood than shearing away those sad and boring locks and sport a new short haircut. However, for most of us, it takes time and courage to make this step finally.
Below you'll find photos of brave heroes to whom going with a short hairstyle wasn't enough and their idea of an extreme hair makeover was to sport a shaved head. If you have undergone similar short hair or bald head transformation, post it to this list. The best before and after haircut changes will be later featured in a separate post that will be shared on our Facebook pages, and well, who knows, maybe you‘ll become internet-famous!

There are some hurtful comments, which is a shame, but I think (hope!) submitters were prepared for that. You say "No one was asking for an opinion", but we all know that people have opinions and that Bored Panda provides comments fields for people to express those opinions. But yeah, I hope no one regrets being brave enough to share their pics!

My wife is always threatening me with doing this, luckily we have made a deal, I'll keep shaving my head as long as she doesn't cut her hair. Before anyone attacks me though, yes it is her hair and she is free to do whatever she wants to do with it, same as I could too. But if she got a short hair cut I would find her less attractive the same way I would if she got a giant question mark tattooed on her face. I would still love her the same if she did either though.

if she really wants to cut her hair -- give it a try. It's just hair, it'll grow back ... and you might actually like it.

I was always too self conscious when I got my hair cut too short. I had it to my chin, a few years ago, and hated it. It's back down to my mid back again, and I love it. What's good for one person, isn't always for another.
