Neurotypicals seem to place quite a high priority on how their hair looks and I really don't understand their fixation with it. For example:
Do you understand it? Funny stories and explanations both welcome and encouraged.
1. They care about image more than 'substance'
2. They care about what other people think
3. It's part of the social ritual of 'nothing chat' / 'verbal grooming' - grooming in the sense like when you see monkeys picking lice out of each other's fur as a form of 'social bonding'
I cut my own hair with clippers: 6mm on the sides, 9mm on the top, 3mm at the back for anything below the level of the bottom of the ears
It's only gone wrong twice when the length guide slipped/came off... hair grows back so 'no biggie'. I'd quite happily just go 6mm all over (or even 3 or 0) but the wife's not keen...
I love the feel when I shave my head. I just find it a faff having to keep on top of it!
I have my neck shaved and I can't stop stroking it for weeks after
