So I wore my hair relaxed for my entire life. But when I was 31-32 I was sick of using all those chemicals on my hair. So I literally went to a barber shop & told them to shave my head. They looked at me like I was crazy. But here I am 4 years later & I have never regretted it.

I shaved my head about 9 months ago but it was because I had lice3

I'll be doing the same thing, when the weather here within New Jersey; gets cold enough to've to wear a hat! I'll be able to donate, my hair; since it qualifies but I am doing it to alleviate the chore, of dealing with it; since my disability's getting worse & to save money because I hate up~dos, unless they're necessary because it begins to hurt, my scalp but I shed, worse than a dog; I literally've to vacuum daily & go through 4 vacuums annually! The money that I'll save, via not having to replace vacuums; as often & using less shampoo/conditioner, I'll put towards hiring someone once monthly to take me to run errands, help me batch cook & scrub my outdoor clothes drying rack.
I'll get a wig just in case, the way that I'll look; horrifies me without hair but I've found that a regular average cost wig, via a Halloween/Party store's adequate when classmates had mistaken my curly wig hair for a costume then; as being my actual normally straight hair!2 -
Your hair is absolutely gorgeous.1

Thank you! I think some people misunderstood though. The 2nd pic is my hair now. I haven't shaved it since the first time & don't plan to lol!3

I always wished I had curly hair, but it was pretty straight. So then it was short for years, and now that I'm growing it out it's curly, but only the under layers! I wish mine would grow in curly all over!1

why didnt you shave it yourself? would have saved you 10 bucks
I think you just answered your own question. It was only 10 bucks & almost 5 years later I can't say I have ever missed that 10 bucks.9 -
Gorgeous! I shaved my head last year around this time....I've had alopecia for almost a decade and was always ashamed of my head....and then i buzzed all that was left, off....i was always afraid of my boyfriend seeing my head, but after i buzzed it, i became so confident...now I walk around bald at home. Next year I plan to start going out in public3

I'll only shave mine once as well, it'll take 3 years prior to me needing to get another hair cut thereafter; so that should grant me enough time to focus upon finishing with getting rid of all of my excess weight also!1 -

be careful what you wish for. lol most of my life my hair was wavy,as I have gotten older its now curlier than ever. looks like I have a perm and I havent had a perm in over 21 years. now to even straighten it is a chore and the shorter it is the more it wants to curl. They say hair cant change,lol I beg to differ0 -
Beautiful pics! I did the same in the early 00's. Love my natural hair.4

One has red dye and the other purple and green.
I'm sticking with the black. It took me 4 years to grow my hair this long. I don't want to risk any damage. As much as I'd like to play around with color.
