How long have you been a self-proclaimed baldie? 

A year

Did anyone inspire you to cut your hair? (include @ name if possible)

No

What made you decide to cut your hair? 

I wanted something different--it's only hair, so why not?

What reservations/fears did you have about cutting your hair? 

My head wouldn't look right with a cut and my curls wouldn't coil like I would want them to.

How did you prepare yourself for your hair cut? 

There was no perpetration, I just woke up on morning and started cutting.

What was your initial reaction to seeing yourself with short hair?

Damn, I look good!

Did cutting your hair symbolize anything to you?

It meant growth for me. A journey of growth physically, emotionally and spiritually.

Do you plan on ever growing your hair back out? 

Probably not. That's what wigs are for!

Did cutting your hair hurt or help your self confidence?

It definitely helped.

Do you regret your decision at all? 

Not at all.
