I have my hair buzzed w/a #1 all around except for a 4" wide swatch of hair I have in the front that falls over my eyes.
I LOVE IT!
Don't have to do a darn thing to it & I do wear a lot of knit hats too. At the gym I can put it in a pony.

Sometimes I get compliments on it but have to say it all comes from the 20yo group Bec I'm in my mid 40's.

If shaving it down helps then so be it. Plus you'll be cool in the summer!
