Personally, I think that would be a much better idea than shaving your head. On the other hand, I could understand the shaved head thing if someone in your immediate family lost their hair to cancer and you wanted them to feel better about being bald. I've had family that did that.
Now there is a constructive idea, and a good one at that!
