I shaved my head again... This is the fifth time I've shaved my head in a span of two years. Every time I do it I feel like a new person, I'm not sure how to describe it. My reason for shaving it this time though was my own fault LOL. I've been cutting my own hair for a few months now because I'm cheap and don't want to pay for an expensive cut and I just like practicing cutting my own hair (so that way I can get better and have bomb hair for free). The past few times I've cut my hair they've all turned out decently-like I wouldn't be mortified to walk outside. This time... I noticeably f*&%ed my hair up. I could've just let my hair grow back since it grows relatively fast, and gone to get a real haircut, but something told me to just shave it off. Clearly, I'm an impulsive person because despite every attempt my best friend tried to persuade me not to, here I am with a shaved head.

The previous times I've shaved my head I used a #1 or #2 guard, but this time I just went in with bare clippers... It's the shortest I could possibly go without taking a shaving razor to my head, but for some odd reason, I really, really like this length. It's only been two days so regret and a breakdown could still happen, but as of now I'm enjoying my shaved head. Like I said before, there's something so freeing and new about shaving your [my] head. It might as well be my New Year's ritual (the very first time I shaved my head was on New Year's of 2016). I'm grateful that I'm in place with myself where hair doesn't define me or how I look-and it's totally ok if you don't feel that way!! Hair is really important to some people and I used to feel that way so it's ok, I understand. I'm not going to encourage you to shave all your hair off but I do want to say you should try doing something new with your hair at least once in your life. Get the big chop, grow super long, dye it, etc.

Here's to another chance at no hair. I want to document how I feel about it and even see if I'll keep cutting it to stay this short. If I do end up deciding to grow it back eventually, it'll only be 3-4 months of awkward hair growth LOL. Thank you for reading. Stay wholesome!

All my love,

Ben
