I'm coming up on a fresh shave day, and thought I'm due for a little story time on my big bald head.
One of the things I often get stopped for by strangers out in public - is my head. I always hear from random people out and about is " I wish I had the courage to shave my head like that " , and then usually get asked a ton of questions about why I do this.
I always grew up with long hair. Not by choice! I was a competitive dancer, in RAD Ballet and having your hair in a proper Bun was mandatory. I also attended a private school, and the one time I tried to cut my hair short , I was bullied relentlessly for having " Boy Hair ".
As I became an adult, I again tried to cut my hair short and was told by my relationships at the time that I was unattractive with short hair. I had alot of outside influences constantly telling me I needed long hair to be accepted.
Once the COVID pandemic hit, I was a newly single mom, discovering my Q***rness, and living in a brand new world where no one could tell me what to do, and being authentically myself was my top priority.
So I shaved my head. BAM. It was incredibly empowering, and for the first time in my life I felt like my whole self. Hair always bothered me, made me itchy, gave me headaches , and was more work then I cared for. Finally being free of that weight, and the burden of how I was supposed to look, I was so happy.
Ever since then, I have consistently shaved my head every few weeks to keep it extra short, and with my current chronic health conditions, having It shaved just takes one more self care chore off my list. I can get up and go and not exert energy trying to deal with my hair. No more headaches, no more sensory overload.
Ive actually found the best cheerleaders in the community who love to stop me, compliment my boldness, and say they love my shaved bald beautiful head. So if youve ever had the inclination to take a buzzer to your head - this is your sign.
DO IT!! you'll never regret it. Infact, call me - ill help you shave it and cheer you on the entire time 😉
