As for the answer to that question, here it is: I've wanted to do it for years, but never had the balls. It's not like I was having one of those crazy Britney moments or anything... I've been working up to actually doing this for the last two or three years. Either my concern for how ugly my head might be, or how cute my current haircut or color was is all that stood in the way most of the time.
As for why I wanted to, well, there's a few reasons for that. One is that I just don't like having to deal with hair... there's haircuts, color, combing, brushing, drying, styling, worrying about how it looks all the time... I mean, seriously, (not that I'm much of a girly girl), but if my hair looked bad or felt gross that would be enough to make me not want to leave the house. I don't like that shit. It's just too much, which is why my hair hasn't been colored in over a year and also why I'd been keeping it pretty short already (so that it didn't require much styling).
Not only that, but I feel a lot cleaner. I tend to feel dirty with too much hair (same thing with fingernails - I keep them cut off, too). I dunno. And I guess I was just curious to see what it would look and feel like (which I'm pretty happy with on both accounts). As for how long I'll keep it this way - who knows. I may grow some back for the winter, but then there's always hats. 😊 I'm really enjoying it so far, though.
However sappy this may sound, it's the truth - the breeze, the warm sun, getting your head rubbed - all that feels a lot different (and much much better) without hair in the way. I'm definitely digging that aspect of it. And honestly I don't feel unpretty without my hair, which is a pleasant surprise. I wasn't sure how I'd feel about myself once I looked in the mirror. But I'm not disappointed with it at all. So that's cool. All in all, if you're thinking about doing away with the hair - I say give it a try. If you don't like it - you can always grow it back; so no worries. 😀
