Head shaving is the practice of shaving the hair from a person's head. People throughout history have shaved all or part of their heads for diverse reasons including practicality, convenience, fashion, style, religion, aesthetics, culture, and punishment. The earliest historical records describing head shaving are from ancient Mediterranean cultures such as Egypt , Greece , and Rome. The Egyptian priest class ritualistically removed all hair from head to toe by plucking it. The practice of shaving heads has been used in the military. Although sometimes explained as being for hygiene reasons, the image of strict and disciplined conformity is also accepted as a factor.
