Ladies, would you shave your head?

I've considered it, but I highly doubt that I'd look the least bit favorable with a bald head.

 

Mmm, considering nothing was unfavorable about my hair, probably not. It also depends on the situation. Shaving my head bald as a way of supporting a loved one going through chemotherapy was a good answer. That would be a good reason, and a reason I'd don "the Britney."

I do admit that I have a problem with feeling a bit attatched to my long hair so it certainly would be a great, liberating experience to try to shed the little bits of vanity I was raised to have. Some women look breathtakingly gorgeous bald, too. I mean, I know I personally wouldn't feel I looked beautiful with a shaved head but I suppose that would be the point for me. If I didn't do it out of support of a cancer victim who I love, I'd do it for the empowerment that I'd feel. I think it would be the ultimate slap in the face of vanity for me.

But as of right now, dreadlocks are extremely desirable to me. I want to feel at one with nature in as many ways as I feel I can, and that's one way I feel can keep me grounded. Plus, I feel locks would be another fabulous, liberating slap in the face of vanity.

 

i just shaved mine again yesterday. love it!

 

I hope to soon be initiated into the priesthood of my religion, Lucumi/Santeria. Getting your head shaved is part of the ceremony. I am honestly looking forward to it! My hair has always been thin, fine and stringy. I'll be so glad not to have to worry about it for a year! :gorgeous:

 

It's very liberating. I like your username. Don't take this the wrong way, but one of our cats is named Pyewacket.

 

Take it the wrong way? Are you kidding?? Pyewacket was an old Witches' familiar name! I once had a cat named Pyewacket too! Thanks muchly for the compliment! :jester:

 

Not a problem. Glad you saw it the same way!

 

if i may say so, your beautiful with a shaved head!!!

 

Hells no! I would look like buddha without my mane.

 

Wow! I have never seen a shaved/buzzed do look so natural and beautiful on a female.

I would probably never do it myself though, unless to support a family member going through chemo. My thick, red, wavy hair gives me a unique look. Sure, if I shaved my head I'd still look unique, but I'm just too damned attached to my hair. Vanity's a bitch.

 

No way, I love my hair ^_^ I'm growing it at the moment, it's down just past my shoulders. As soon as I finish doing my GCSEs I'm dying it all bright pink, it was pink before but I had to dye it to a 'natural shade' as my school admin are against individual expression.

 

I might. My mom and sis tell me my hair is beautiful and it would be a shame if I did, but I think about it every now and then. I think I would like it at first, but I don't think I would like it when it was growing out again.

 

No, most definitely i wouldn't. Especially now, i've been growing it out for a while, its getting quite long now, and i love it! I would never shave it at this point, much less even cut it.

A while ago, maybe say a few years ago, i might have done something like that. But definitely not now.

 

no i love my hair

 

Right now, I have loooong long Dreadies. But when I got them 7 years ago, I knew, if I wanted to get rid of them some day, I had to shave them off. I don't plan to in the near future, but it's not that I would not want to do it. In fact I love the thought. But I love my dreadies more :-D

 

Have done it once, but wouldn't do it again. No,no no good!

 

Same here!

 

i have done it twice so far in life and it was fun. but then i grew it out and would have it long for a bit and then shave again. its down to my shoulders again. shaved it last about 1 1/2 ago. for others i say more power and fun ^_^

 

i would totally do it. i think it's kind of a testimonial. in my opinion it's like saying "fuck the world that thinks only men can have short hair!" It's a very sexist thing in my opinion! I also support burning bras. (Although, I personally like my bra, keeps my boobs from flopping around!)

 

I wouldnt do it personally but i definitly think its beautiful.

Havent you folks ever seen pictures of Masai women in kenya? case in point.
