Shaving My Head
I have always wanted to shave my head at least once. As a hair stylist having the knowledge to color your hair sometimes isn’t the best thing. Meaning I was just constantly changing my hair color every week. Although I took very good care of my hair and did all sorts of good deep conditioning treatments. It just wasn’t making me happy. I just gave birth 4 months ago and let me tell you the hair loss was real! I was extremely depressed about how my hair looked and felt and said what the heck what better time to shave my head than now. I’m on maternity leave why not! Plus, I had already done two side shaves, so it wasn’t a big deal. It was scary to do the first patch, but once I did IT WAS THE BEST FEELING IN THE WORLD!!! I felt so alive, I felt so happy, I felt reborn. It has been almost 3 months since I shaved my head, and it just feels amazing. My hair has gotten thicker, and my natural curls are beginning to show. It has definitely been a struggle to learn to love myself with short hair, but I finally did. I feel fierce and proud of how I look now. As someone who has been coloring her hair for 20 years now, I can honestly say I am so excited to see my hair long and VIRGIN for once in my life. My plan from here on out is to just invest in different colored wigs so I don’t get tempted to color my hair again. If you have been wanting to shave your head, I say DO IT! You will feel amazing. Life is too short, and it is something you should try at least once.
