Bald Diving

[halocline]

WOW....I have issues with long hair. I am sometimes envious of my male dive buddies who can put their hoods on in seconds and are not fighting bangs coming out the front and the inevitable knots from hell after the dive.

You know, you could shave your head too.

Embrace the bald. The creator only made so many perfect heads. Hair was invented to hide the mistakes.

You could try one of these:

They should help keep your hair piece in place but are thin enough that you won't overheat during the dive. Easier to remove than a neoprene hood.

I have thought about cutting my hair short for just this reason (is that scuba addiction?), and I actually did once a few years ago. My BF was out of town and I flew in to meet him. His first words when I got off the plane was, How long is that going to take to grow back?

Now the she-p. That requires a whole other aspect of baldness.

Bald women can be beautiful...

I was wondering if anyone on here has been diving while wearing a hair piece.

I first started diving "hairless" in 1972 with the Navy (they have a hate against hair). Sorry, I can't help you with this one...

FREEDOM! Set yourself free! Most of my hair betrayed me and left 30 years ago. I cut what’s left short, it’s the perfect dive hair, and I couldn’t care less what anybody thinks about it. I wear a Lycra hood in the warm water though as I tend to get cold no matter where I dive.

There might be a rug for that purpose also ..............but I may have digressed a bit from the original topic.......

Being a bald headed diver allows one to experience first hand how much heat is lost through the head.

I always wear a hood of some type. In very, very warm water (84 degrees +) I will wear a Doo-Rag. One thing I don't want is a sunburned scalp . . . . oooooohhhhh that smarts!!!

I am also bald. I hated being bald but after watching one of my dive buddies that has real thick hair fight from keeping it out of his mask, I will gladly wair a hood and a hat on the surface. Now beeing bald is not as bad.
