How long have you been a self-proclaimed baldie?
since June 2016
What made you decide to cut your hair?
I had been talking about cutting my hair short for months before I actually did it. However, when I finally went through with the big chop, I felt the need to cut my hair in order to begin my self-actualization process. I no longer felt like what I saw in the mirror reflected who I was and I was not happy with that. My hair had become a burden that I no longer had the patience to tolerate, so I let it go :)
What reservations/fears did you have about cutting your hair?
I was terrified that if had a weird shaped head so a short cut wouldn't look good on me.
How did you prepare yourself for your hair cut?
Watching lots and lots of YouTube videos.
What was your initial reaction to seeing yourself with short hair?
I cut my hair myself so it was really just a shock to watch years of hard work falling around me but I loved it once I was finished.
Did cutting your hair symbolize anything to you?
My haircut symbolized the shedding of negativity and bad energy in my life.
Do you plan on ever growing your hair back out?
For right now, no. Maybe I'll feel differently in a year.
Did cutting your hair hurt or help your self confidence?
Cutting my hair boosted my self confidence by 300%. Literally no one can tell me anything now.
Do you regret your decision at all?
Nope. One of best decisions I've made thus far.
