How long have you been a self-proclaimed baldie?
For about three years now...ever since I first started cutting my hair, I’ve noticed I’m just a totally different person!
What made you decide to cut your hair?
I wanted to prove that women’s attachment to their hair is superficial. Women are just as beautiful without hair, as they are with it. And that’s BIG FACTS!
What reservations/fears did you have about cutting your hair?
I was scared my head shape was ugly, or that I didn’t have the face for short hair.
How did you prepare yourself for your hair cut?
I told my stylist even if I change my mind and get scared, cut my hair off no matter what!!!
What was your initial reaction to seeing yourself with short hair?
I’m that bitch Periodt!!!
Did cutting your hair symbolize anything to you?
No, just the fact that I should of did it a long time ago when I originally wanted to.
Do you plan on ever growing your hair back out?
Possibly in about a year.
Did cutting your hair hurt or help your self-confidence?
It definitely helped. Sometimes hair can cover your face in a sense, but when your bald all you have is your face.
Do you regret your decision at all?: NOT AT ALL
