Head Shaving

I'm really sick of my hair, so I'm planning to have it shaved off. Except I'm not entirely sure what length to ask for when they use the clippers - probably either a number 2 or number 3. What do these look like (any pictures?), and what would people recommend?

    Good idea. The thing is, I'd like to go for something a bit different to what I have now - but I'm far too timid, and don't have much confidence in the way I look, so I probably won't like anything!

    How much difference is there between a 2 and a 3 then?

    Id go with what Seed said. If you go too drastic at the beginning it can be a shock to the system LOL
    Least if you start at say number 4/5 the next time you go to a number 3.
    Not sure about what difference there is between 2/3 but id think it would be a lot if youve never had it that short before. My hubby started off with a number 3, because hes had it short for some time he has now gone onto just complete shaving :)

    I used to have a number 2 which was pretty damn short. But nowadays I prefer a 3 - less short, but for me it does the job nicely.

    I had a number 2 last time and it wasn't too bad, quite short but at least it was manageable. But it's that time when I need a haircut again, and for some reason I have an urge to try a number 1!

    I'm not sure whether to do it - my parents would probably hit the roof, and I suppose there's a chance it could look really terrible - i wish there was some way to preview it! Exactly how short is a number 1 - anyone have any pictures?

    Cheers
