If I (@DeltaEchoVictor) shave my head again, will I regret it six months later?

I have shaved my head twice before. The first time I did not regret it, but the second time I did. The second time I had grown it out to almost shoulder-length before cutting it all off. 6 months later I had decided I wanted to grow it out again, and had to go through the awkward medium phase wherein it's too short to tie back but too long to look anything but disheveled. Right now it's basically at shoulder length again.

But now I'm getting older (35) and I expect hair loss to be a factor soon. On the one hand, if I do shave my head, I am very unlikely to ever grow it out again, so I'd effectively be just giving that up entirely. On the other hand it will be MUCH easier to deal with. (I'm a man, if that factors into anyone's calculations).

So this time I'm asking Manifold for advice. Closing date will be changed to 6 months if I shave my head. If by the end of 2024 I have not shaved my head, I will N/A this market.

Obviously resolution is my subjective emotional state, so I will not be betting on this.

Edit: Head Shaven! Now it's just a question of whether I decide it was a horrible mistake in 6 months.

Update @traders: I did the thing. My head is now shaven, so now it's just a question of whether I do indeed end up regretting it

I do believe that you will regret it, but betting "YES" is just asking for an N/A resolution because if you look at the probability being high, you will not go through with shaving your head.

I mean, this was mostly for fun. And I'd need a lot more liquidity before I based my decision off of this market.

How long was your hair before you cut it the 1st time

Medium? More of an irish afro type of thing.
