How long have you been a self-proclaimed baldie?
I've been short for 2 years, baldie status for approximately a year and a half.
Did anyone inspire you to cut your hair? (include @ name if possible)
I didn't have anyone who inspired my original cut, but now @yaya.tonye, @raima_, and @aperfectsummer are my cutspirtations. But, @himooch has me wanting to go shorter.
What made you decide to cut your hair?
My original haircut was based on the stylist. I arrived at Howard and I was not taking care of my hair (wrapping it, going to the salon every two weeks).
What reservations/fears did you have about cutting your hair?
I really didn't have any. I never thought that my initial cut would lead to short hair becoming my style.
How did you prepare yourself for your hair cut?
It was a mental prep, because I knew that the outcome of my hair appointment was going to involve me cutting my hair. My mental prep wasn't successful because I still cried like a little baby.
What was your initial reaction to seeing yourself with short hair?
My initial reaction (and everyone else's) was that I look just like my Mommy now. (She has short hair too.)
Do you plan on ever growing your hair back out?
I don't plan on it. I want to be one of those cute, slayed older ladies with salt and pepper short hair. I find myself missing having hair, but there's nothing that a weave/wig can't do to satisfy that feeling.
Do you regret your decision at all?
No! I love my short hair.
