Bald headed scallywag, ain't got no hair in the back. I can finally relate to that saying, of course by choice. Officially apart of #teambaldie, never thought I'll see the day. I've always been scissor happy. I've had multiple cuts in the past. From bobs, to pixies, bowl cuts, you name it! But to go extremely low, as in a cesar cut, chileee you wouldn't see it. Now, fast forward here I am writing about how I'm a bald bitch.
I'll save the long story of what brought me to walking into a barbershop, and telling the barber to chop all my shit off. That will be for another day. But I will talk on how this has placed me in a new perspective of things, and I how I feel all women should experience going short at least once in their life.
How was that moment for me looking in the mirror after the barber cut all of it off? I was sitting in the chair, was passed a mirror to look at my new look. In my mind, I was like "what the hell I just do?" But to the barber, I smiled and said how much I loved it. I mean, it was honestly nothing spectacular. I had just cut off what little bit of relaxer I had from a pixie cut. But, the dilemma is I was so used to at least having a certain amount of hair on top of my head to do something with it, i.e. (finger coils, wash & go's, etc.) But with this style, I was just left with nothing but to brush and go, and somehow pray to the man above that waves will magically appear. I've always been a "well it's just hair, it will grow back type of person" but this was one of those moments where I was stunned.
It took me a few days to adjust to my new look. Hearing mix reviews from others (not that their opinions matter anyway). Once I adjusted to the new look, and accepted the change, it changed me (if that makes any sense). It put me in a better perspective of things, as far as how I looked. At that moment I realized, hair doesn't make you, YOU! You can strip me of everything, and I'll still be me. This process also shows who phases out. YES HONEY! Those guys who will continuously comment on a picture, DM me, where are they to be found now?! And that is totally cool, we all have our preferences. But the man, and I put emphasis on "man" and/or "woman" *cause a bitch is also attracted to females* for me will love me unconditionally. If I want to go bald one day, have long hair the next, whomever it will be, will love me regardless.
This experience has also increased my self confidence, to knowingly go anywhere and just be completely me. No fake lashes, no makeup, no wigs/weaves, etc. and get complimented on how the haircut fits my face, or how beautiful I am does something to me. Again, even without others opinions the self confidence will always be there.
I could go on and on, about what this moment has done for me. But nonetheless, I would love to encourage all my sisters to at least try it once. If not, that's cool. To each, it's own. But always remember hair doesn't make you, YOU make the hairstyle. Always live in confidence, and let no one shatter you, or it. To all my bald bitches, it's a #baldierevolution! Even if its temporary, at least you experienced it.
