How long have you been a self-proclaimed baldie?
I've been a self- proclaimed baldie for about 5 months now.
Did anyone inspire you to cut your hair? (include @ name if possible):
I would have to say the @Thebaldierevolution page.
What made you decide to cut your hair?:
The @Thebaldierevolution page. I was laying down one day and I stumbled across a YouTube video and in the description, there was a link to the page. I saw so many beautiful women and I had a huge urge to cut my hair so I went to the bathroom and took some clippers and shaved all my hair off.
What reservations/fears did you have about cutting your hair?
The biggest fear I had was about having short hair making my huge forehead stand out even more. I decided to not lessen to those fears and reservations and go for it anyway! Best decision ever!
How did you prepare yourself for your hair cut?
I would say to just breathe! If this is something you want to do don’t think about it just do it!
What was your initial reaction to seeing yourself with short hair?
I was in utter shock. I just felt so free and brave! I thought to myself that I should have done this a long time ago.
Did cutting your hair symbolize anything to you?
Not really, I just wanted to see how I looked and I was ready to change my look.
Do you plan on ever growing your hair back out?
Right now I am in love with the little to no maintenance so I would say “No” for now.
Did cutting your hair hurt or help your self-confidence?
I think it definitely has helped I feel a sense of empowerment! I know it’s weird to say because it’s just hair but, it can make you feel on top of the world!
Do you regret your decision at all?
No regrets!! Lol
