I decided to add my slyette advantages and disadvantages too!
Being really honest...
What's to love about being bald?Bad hair days? Extinct! Bed head? Nope. Hat-hair? Uh-uh. Tangles? Never. Lice? Can't get those either!
Much less itching.
Dandruff? What's dandruff?
Change my 'do any time I want to with a hat, scarf, bandana, etc. I can even wear different color/style wigs, all in the same week!
I can pretend to be badass and get away with it for the first time ever.
I make earrings look awesome! And I enjoy dressing up girly more than I used to.
You can't see my gray hairs....(nanny nanny boo boo)
Who needs an umbrella? Not me.
Saving lots of $$$ on haircuts and products
Showers are fast and easy, just swipe my head with a towel and it's all dry.
Getting ready in the morning is faster too.
I really like my head's shape, as do many others. I think I look cute bald just as well.
Focus on my eyes/face/what I'm saying rather than my hair.
Keeping a cool head in the summer.
Interesting coversation-starter, since I've never known a stranger.
Head rubs.
Most women like it or are "ok" with it and envy teh ease and worry-free lifestyle.
What's to hate about being bald
Bumping my head hurts more (and bruises show up too).
People constantly sharing their opinions (the negative ones anyways) of my head though I never asked.
People getting weirded out, not sure what to say or if they can look at me when out in public.
Getting mistaken for a cancer patient/lesbian/political activist.
Mosquitos like a bald head too...what's for dinner?
When I'm really tired or really sick...I think I sometimes look even sicker.
Getting mistaken for a guy just sucks (I usually pretend I didn't hear it...).
Winter without a hat can be really really cold.
My head is like velcro and tends to attract fuzzies from my environment (hats, others' clothing, lint) etc and friends have to pick my fuzz out because I can't see it myself or I go around all day with knots of various colors of fuzz stuck to my head...
This velcro effect can also make hats/shirts/bandanas/scarves difficult to remove!
Some places/events just aren't socially appropriate for a woman sporting the sly look - weddings, funerals, certain parties, many churches...
Men tend not to be fans.
Head rubs.
Nicks. Enough said.
