The short and true answer is that it sucks, but it gets better as you get older. I ended up going shaved head at 25, late twenties were better than early twenties (also I think that's just generally true for men and dating). The other bit I found is that the decision to shave it and accept it lead to an increase in overall confidence which also helped.
