My beard-capable friends warned me of the itchiness that comes with post-shave hair growth. And I thought I would be spared of such an inconvenience. The first two or so weeks passed itch free. I felt confident, proud of my sprouting scalp, and congratulated myself for having such amiable hair follicles.
Such bliss came to an end, and, for the past two weeks, my hair has been like a batch of itchy grass. Does it matter that I took a shower three hours before? Nope. Cleanliness deters the itchiness of mine head only for a moment before the itchiness begins again. I have resigned myself to my fate, hoping that once my hair grows out more, my scalp will find itself to be more agreeable.
For now, my coping strategy (or non-coping strategy) include jamming a baseball cap on my head, taking off said baseball cap and rubbing my head to relieve itchiness, putting baseball cap back on with reminder for self-control and endurance, and sighing at my scalp-beard-like predicament. .
Perhaps the next centimeter of growth will be more agreeable.
