Should I shave my head?

I'm an 18 y/o male, I am thinking of going to the hairdresser next week and shaving my head.

Basically, about 7/8 months ago I got my hair highlighted. I liked it at first, but now I hate it. It's so bad and I want my natural colour back.

My mum doesn't want me to do it, because when I walk in public I will apparently look "like an egg".

My dad said I'm 18, do what you want but don't come crying to me when you regret it. I am seriously considering it.

My ideal hairstyle would be shoulder length. How long would it take from the point I shave my head for it to grow that length?

I like my hair now, but I want a fresh start.
Probably 3 or 4 years

My hair is quite thick, and it grows slow ish. I just fancy a new look haha but I'll be scared when I walk in.
Your hair grows around 6 inches a year so you can work that out I guess

I'm bad at maths.

Haha all joking aside, with hair it'll always grow back. Worst case scenario I just wear a hat, and also, atleast my highlights would be gone.
Why don't you just dye your hair back it's natural colour? :confused:
