10 Things I learnt after shaving my head!

TEN things I’ve learnt after shaving my head:

1. I really did begin to appreciate my face more than ever before
2. I feel incredibly badass and strong most of the time BUT also have those fleeting moments of feeling “unfeminine” and “unsexy” due to being deeply indoctrinated by social beauty standards since birth - the reality of my turbulent emotions! 🤪
3. My hair dries incredibly quickly 😂 and straight up into a porcupine
4. Interestingly a lot of men have come up to me and complimented my look. I appreciate it but it’s so ironic because part of the reason why I shaved it is to not get validation or more attention from them 😂 just a funny observation
5. There is absolutely no hiding your face or eyes when you don’t have hair. I used to use my hair to cover my forehead and back acne so it’s super liberating to nurture my confidence from within to another level 🤭
6. People have the tendency to want to pet me 😂😂 and it’s absolutely fine 🤣
7. Kids are brutally honest 🤣 I’m a part time teacher and the little ones were shocked and sad “Miss why?! You look like a boy” 🥲😂
8. I have to use multiple products for my hair to stay down. A head scarf for night time then a gel, pomade or clay in the morning
9. Some of my outfits I used to wear no longer suit me and navigating this new style change has been fun!
10. There will be a lot of awkward hair stages when it grows out and I just have to push through!!

That’s most of it. I’m sure I’ll be adding to this list Hahahaa but it’s been amazing! 😗🥰

Thanks for coming along this journey with me.
