why do skinheads shave their heads?

I'm guessing here:\n\nShaving the hair from your head makes you more like the rest of the group, which is both a submission to the ideals of said group and also a self-defense and intimidation mechanism.  Hair does a lot for recognition in humans, so if everyone's in uniform and have very short hair, they're hard to identify AND create a sense of monolithic fear.  It's not an individual you are dealing with but a pseudopod of The Party and its ideals.

Blackheads consist of skin oil (called sebum), dead skin cells, and bacteria that are clogged in a hair follicle.\n\nBlackheads are rare on legs, and more common on face and neck and other parts of the body. I recommend washing regularly and exfoliating to remove dead and dry skin. Use lotions to repair damaged skin and stay away from treatments with too much alcohol. Despite what people say, they may 'dry up' pimples quickly, but will also entirely dry your skin.

Some women do it for themselves...Cleaner look and feel.\n Some do it to please their partner.\n and some do it for medical reasons (LICE)\n\n If you are debating shaving, I would suggest you DO NOT do it to please someone else. Try it for yourself. Make sure you use a shave gel and a sharp razor !! Moisturize afterwards too to avoid those nasty little bumps..

The tradition of short haircuts for soldiers goes back to Roman times.\nRoman military leaders saw the value in having short haircuts to prevent enemies from pulling hair in hand-to-hand combat.\nSome native American tribes also saw value in this, especially when their enemies used scalping as a tactic in combat.\n\nIn more modern times, like in WWI, it was also found that shaved heads also prevent the spread of head lice, which was a common parasite among soldiers in the trenches. You'd hate to get shot because you were scratching an itch on your head and took off your helmet.\n\nIt also has the function of acting as a way to taking away a soldier's individuality as a person, and makes them appear as part of their squad, unit, corps. This provides a psychological effect for both the soldier, and for civilians and enemies.\n\nAnother benefit is keeping hair out of your eyes, and avoiding getting hair caught in helmets, and allowing sweat to disperse faster.\n\nHowever, in modern times, it is also a good way to pick out military guys in a crowd when the common hairstyles are not short - US soldiers on leave in some countries are sometimes at risk because they stick out as both americans and as soldiers.

It's better than having the stubble grow back through, also women usually have thinner and more delicate facial skin then men and thus are more likly to cut themselves.\n\nAnother point to remember that shaving one's face is not socially seen as a feminine thing to do - it's like a man with a handbag: practical yet not very acceptable in our society.

Because we have curves, soft skin, shiny hair and naturally less hairy bodies than men (and what hair we do have in unwanted places, we get rid of) :)

To help the body in homeostasis of body temperature!Also will stand on end when frightened like a cat but due to evolving to have less hair you just get goosepimples!\n\nWe probably evolved to have less hair due to our ability to produce clothing!Possibly still have head hair as we either didnt produce hats, or it conferred some advantage such as preventing heatstroke(by protecting the back of the neck and forehead)or sexual selection.

Some guys do it for hygiene purposes. Others because it makes their ------ look larger. And yet others do it out of curiosity!

I think it's a personality thing. Creation of ones own style. \n\nAll boys look forward to that first whisker.  it's a sign of entering manhood.\n\nI personally LOVE facial hair.  it does tickle sometimes when you kiss, but it is great for "oral".  \n\nSome men just look better with facial hair.  it can slim their face out.  \n\nMy hubby has a goatee and mustache with that little line from the side burns to his goatee.  I think it's hot!  it seriously slims his face and he has a scar on his top lip that the mustache hides.\n\nIt just fits him.

There are practical reasons, too, beyond appearance and insecurity.  Some men have way too much hair "down there" and trimming it back (note I did not say shave) can make for a cooler, less sweaty groin.  \n\nAlso, very hairy men might want to trim back their anal area so as not to promote feces getting stuck in the hair.  Gross, I know, but like I said, practical.\n\nTrimming is always preferable to shaving... a lot less abrasive, avoid the possibility of encouraging in-grown hairs, and more attractive as well.

I know what it is although I am not a part of it.  \n\nSHARP (Skinheads Against Racial Prejudice) - Aggressively anti-racist and usually political, often left wing. The moniker "SHARP skinheads" is commonly used for all outspoken anti-racist skinheads, even if they aren't members of a SHARP organization. Anti-racist skins also include RASH (Red and Anarchist Skinheads), Redskins, and Anarcho-Skinheads.

hairs are to keep you warm. You lose a high percentage of heat from the top of your head, thereby you have lots of hair to cover it. Hairs on legs stand up to help when your cold. Unfortunatly hair on my head needs gel

Because they are men and think they are cave men, plus even if they are clean they still smell.. too much hair.

Why have we retained it when we shed most of our body hair elsewhere? To help the sweat odour evaporate, and attract a suitable mate. No kidding.
