How long have you been a self-proclaimed baldie?
Since about 10th grade year of highschool.
Did anyone inspire you to cut your hair? (include @ name if possible)
Rihanna & Amber Rose
What made you decide to cut your hair?
I was inspired to try something new and bold. (For the pixie) I had previously bleached my relaxed hair to a platinum silver and 2 months latery hair was so brittle the only thing I could do is shave off the relaxed hair & go natural. (For the shaved amber look).
What reservations/fears did you have about cutting your hair?
When I first got a pixie cut I was scared my head shape wouldn't go with it & when I shaved my hair and bleached it blonde (amber rose style) I was afraid of having moles or beauty marks under my hair. (Because I have a lot of moles and beauty marks).
What was your initial reaction to seeing yourself with short hair?
I was like "yaaaaass you sexy bald bish" I literally fell in love with myself 10x more.
Did cutting your hair symbolize anything to you?
To me it symbolizes being a risk taker, the fear of not knowing what you're capable of looking like with a new bolder hairstyle.
Do you plan on ever growing your hair back out?
Eventually I do plan on attempting to grow my hair into a bob cut. (I don't think I can make it... I'm too scissor happy.)
Did cutting your hair hurt or help your self confidence?
Cutting my hair helped my self confidence 10000000x.
Do you regret your decision at all?
I don't regret cutting my hair at all.
