How long have you been a self-proclaimed baldie?
5 days now!
Did anyone inspire you to cut your hair? (include @ name if possible)
No, me cutting my hair was really a spur of the moment type thing.
What made you decide to cut your hair?
I honestly had just gotten tired or the perms & chemicals. I wanted something new, something fresh ya'know.
What reservations/fears did you have about cutting your hair?
I have none. This isn't my first time with a pair of scissors / clippers. I feel it's just hair and no matter how drastic the cut is, you hair is always gonna grow back.
How did you prepare yourself for your hair cut?
There was no preparation needed lol, I literally got up last Thursday and was like "I'm going to the barbershop today".
What was your initial reaction to seeing yourself with short hair?
I just smiled. I have strong facial features, the cut brought more attention to my bone structure.
Did cutting your hair symbolize anything to you?
To me, I was saying you can still be beautiful & attractive without hair. It was like me taking a stand for the woman who want to cut it all off but are afraid of cutting it all because they'll be deemed "ugly". I just wanted to inspire some people.
Do you plan on ever growing your hair back out?
Eventually I'll go back natural, but who knows I might not! That's how much I love my fade.
Did cutting your hair hurt or help your self confidence?
No, my self confidence is always on Kanye.
Do you regret your decision at all?
Heck no!
