I knew I'd like it, I've had hair more or less like this before (not shaved quite so short on the sides, but otherwise the same) but it's funny how immediately it seemed normal to me: I'd been used to longer hair for years now and I didn't miss it, was never surprised at the lack of it... And no one I saw afterward really seemed surprised or mentioned it much either. It seems like this is a very unsurprising way for me to look. :)
