I did it. I shaved it off.

[ShiShiPooPoo]

My hair is gone and guess what? I feel totally emancipated. I came home and told my DH that I just wanted to be free and he shaved it off. Now it is still relaxed (I am about 1 week post) but we'll see.


Now I am going to go shopping for CLOTHES which I have totally neglected since I've been concentrating so much on my hair.

...and no I have not tasted thou tender elixir Platinum!

[Neith]

ETA:

Okay, now I'm over my shock

Still not sure... did you cut just to cut or are you going natural?

Shocking, big change! but congrats!

 

[GreenD]

CONGRATS on your chop!!!

 

[Finally Free]

You Look Beautiful!!! What did DH say? Did he think you had lost your everlasting mind? Doesn't it feel great!!!!

 

[Nonie]

Wow, you brave soul! :notworthy

But I hafta say, your face is absolutely beautiful and if I didn't know better, I'd swear that's the look you always had. Suits you, IMO.

Was hubby supportive of this daring move?

 

[Stepiphanie]

Looks good to me!! I know you mentioned shaving it off in the past (actually thought for a sec it was the old thread). Cutting your hair can e very emancipating and it seemed like this is the case for you. Go Get your shop on!!

 

[ShiShiPooPoo]

Thanks ladies.


My DH was the one who shaved it.

 

[Starronda]

Your BC looks good...Well go get your shopping on girl...you deserve it!

 

[Tarae]

I remember when you were threatening to cut it all off. Congrats!
And have fun clothes shopping.

 

[SelfStyled]

You are wearin' that short hair girl- I Lubs it! So it looks like you'll be hangin the fashion threads now huh?

 

[isabella09]

Wow, Congratulation’s on your new found freedom! You and your hair look beautiful!

 

[ShiShiPooPoo]

I swear this is how I feel...

I never understood what shaving your head had to do with being free.....

You have a pretty face so I'm sure you can get away with wearing your hair long or short.

 

[Ramya]

you better work! I love it! But I have a soft spot for super short hair on women I've been itching to cut mine again.

 

[Taina]

It looks so nice, you have a beautiful face. Congrats!!
I definitely now what you mean about be free .. enjoy girl!

 

[ShiShiPooPoo]

I never understood what shaving your head had to do with being free.....

You have a pretty face so I'm sure you can get away with wearing your hair long or short.

I guess freedom in the sense that I was beginning to feel controlled by my hair and now I feel in control of it...or what is left of it.

 

[Toy]

Very pretty Congrats !!

 

[tocktick]

I admire your bravery. Congrats!

I think for many women, a lot of how they perceive themselves is tied up in their hair. So when they get the courage to cut, the sense of freedom comes with it. It can be a relief to shatter your own restrictive perceptions. In some cases, the sense of freedom may also have to do with finally cutting off hair that has been bothersome (whether it's damaged, unflattering etc).

Thanks ladies.

Your face can definitely handle the shortest hair. Your features are beautiful...and eyebrows...wow! Are you going natural now??

Thanks babe. I don't know if I am going to go natural or not. My main goal was to just get the hair off asap. I am considering it though.

 

[Foxglove]

Wow you finally did it! I remember that thread
The short do looks good on you
I see somebody already asked if you're staying relaxed or natural
Good luck and HHG!

 

[BrooklynSouth]

Wow..you actually did it!! Happy Freedom Day to you!!

 

[FindingMe]

It's pretty on you! I feel you. Sometimes I think other folks enjoy my hair more than I do - I'm not to the point of chopping it all off yet, but I get it all about your personal freedom

Do YOU!!! You look HAWT!

 

[mswoman]

Way to go!!! Which ever way you decide to go is up to you. Liberation is great, I know how you feel!

 

[robot.]

Congratulations! I remember your funny threads talking about it. Enjoy it!

*shamelessly raises hand*




...what?

 

[pookaloo83]

You're pretty! You have the face for it!

 

[a_shoe_6307]

I must say you are working that new hair. I felt very liberated myself when I first cut my hair very short the first time last year. I was like wow, this is what it feels like to get up and not fight with your hair in the morning! It was a great feeling. Enjoy you hair and freedom. You will enjoy the versatility this gives you even though people swear that you can only get it through long hair.

 

[PinkSkates]

Congratulations! You look pretty!
