On October 12, 2018 I decided I would buzz my hair. I had blue hair at the time and it wasn't growing out fast enough. I was going on a trip to New York City to a taping of the TV show "The People's Court" and my mom was worried they wouldn't let us in the 'courtroom' if I had blue hair. But then after buzzing it, I had wondered what I'd look like with a shaved head. I liked it and while people around me were shocked at first, nowadays nobody can remember me with hair and when they do see pictures of me with hair they say I should keep the shaved head.
I did have 1 customer tell me I looked just as hideous with a shaved head as I did with blue hair. I've had several older people comment that it makes no sense somebody with a full head of hair would shave their head. Another person told me I was insulting people who couldn't have hair on their head for whatever reason.
When I first started shaving my head, it took me about 20-minutes and it was a bloodbath. I thought there was no way I could sustain shaving my head if it took me that long and if I was cutting myself that much. Practice makes perfect and now it takes me 10 minutes and sometimes I go weeks without cutting my head. The longest I've gone without shaving my head is 4 days but I try and do it everyday or every other day.
I'm much happier without hair than I am with hair. It's cheaper than going to the barber or salon every month. I also feel as if I'm able to pamper myself a little bit everyday.
Here's a picture of what I looked like with hair shortly before shaving my head and here's a picture of what I look like as of a few days ago.
