I don’t understand how bald plus a wig is cooler on a hot day than hair plus a tichel🤷‍♀️

Right. Who's comparing that?
It's bald with a wig vs hair with a wig.
Or bald with a tichel vs hair with a tichel.
Op was hot with hair under a tichel.(It's in the op)

I thought OP was complaining about the hot weather outside. It’s not her minhag to shave.
She’s choosing to do so and I was wondering what the benefit is. If I go out in this heat, I am very cool and comfortable with my hair simply covered with a tichel.

Oh my gosh why would you want to shave your head!!?! Please use your brains. That is not a normal thing to do! I really dont think you'll be any cooler. I'm telling you our religion is completely crazy when we have women happily shaving their heads for no reason Banging head

Huh? It's not for no reason, it's much more comfortable, and how would it not be cooler? Hair is like a wool sweater on your head all the time. Taking it off just makes sense.

Ok so I’m guessing the OP would rather shave her head than go out with a tichel.

Most people would be uncomfortable going out in a tichel in town. Especially if she works. Or in other formal settings other than the grocery store.

Plenty non-jews get very short cuts for comfort & ease of care. It's really not that strange to want comfort over beauty especially over a certain age & only in your own bathroom.

Wow. I wish my husband wouldn’t care. I love to shave it’s the best feeling. It’s a turn off for my husb. When I shave I have to keep my head covered at all times. Even when we shower together I’ll wear a shower cap or something.

I’m MO. I only was inspired to shave because I met a non-Jewish women who was bald as her “hairstyle” and she talked about the benefits. I have very thick curly hair so for me it was a game changer

Many hair is in a tiny pony.
But there’s so many hairs that never grow and get me annoyed especially sideburn hairs. And I have thin gross hair so I have bald spots that I can’t cover properly and it annoys my sensory.

I go out in a tichel. I'm uncomfortable both in a wig & in a tichel. I'm so sweating in both. Inside & outside.
I took the plunge, I am absolutely loving it so far. It's so so comfortable, showering is a breeze.

I don't understand the itchy part. Itchy is a scalp thing not a hair thing, no?

No if it’s short enough, under a 6, it doesn’t stick out
