THIS. THIS is exactly how i feel. im on month 8 and i still feel the way you feel. overall from now into the rest of our lives we will view ourselves differently in a more loving and gentle way i suppose. I made a promise to never touch my hair again after this (which may not last forever bc of my impulses). You will see yourself in a raw way which to me made me look at myself in horror. But because of this i started eating more healthy and taking vitamins because i hid behind my hair and didnt realize i was so focused on my looks rather than my health. Stay strong and just know it will grow as you grow as a person, with you. Warning the next few months will probably feel agonizing for me it did atleast, i felt like i looked like a man and people would make jokes saying i looked like Jimmy Falon and other males and it seemed like each month it looked manlier and manlier. Entering month 6 is when things started getting better once i was able to put my hair in little piggy tails, i finally felt feminine in some way. And i dont want to upset you but this is from my unsugarcoated experience. Again, it grows with you and you probably wont learn anything more than you already learned but you will appreciate your strength and your soul a lot more. I feel like i did this to myself as a self destructive thing too even tho it started as empowerment, reality hit. But thats okay. Everything in this life is just a happening-Alan Watts, you dont need to label it as good or bad its just happening, its just there. I suggest finding yourself from within and connecting to that and work on that. Were in this together my friend, sending my love from afar.
@@mclovinschrumpf6212 Thank you! It was an interesting lesson for me to realize that really loving myself meant allowing myself to look however felt best to me... and that, if it makes me more comfortable, wearing makeup and having longer hair is no less valid or genuine than putting myself in a more "natural" position with my appearance. It's a healthy practice to ask ourselves where our beliefs about what's beautiful come from, but shaving your head isn't for everyone, and listening to yourself is what matters most for your own quality of life. Much love
Same, I felt instant regret, like I lost my femininity, I no longer felt attractive, I was jealous when I saw girls with ponytails. This was years ago and at least I appreciate my hair now.
I’m sorry that shaving your head has gone this way for you. You absolutely do not need to punish yourself and you should feel proud that you hopefully recognize that. The grow out will be awkward but you can make it a little more gentle ironically by frequent haircuts, mostly of the back and sides. Remember to love yourself throughout all of this!
Everything you’re describing is why I shaved my head. It depends on the day how I feel about it, but 3 months later I’ve hit a pretty big patch of self-consciousness and feeling like I’m just not pretty anymore. Ugh.
You are a pretty woman. Believe in yourself. Hair does not define who you are. You need to believe in yourself. Love your self. Love yourself for who you are to you. Don’t worry about society says or rules. Bald is sexy. Bald head is not for everyone. Live and learn. Grow in yourself.
One regret I have is not filming the process of shaving it off! I have some pictures though, that I might use for a hair growth time lapse or update vids in the future
Thanks :) I have a few pictures from when I first shaved it, I might include them in a future update video...no plans to shave my head again in the future but who knows!
Omg I just realized I shaved my head cuz I wanted to prove that I would love me even if I didn’t look beautiful well it’s one of many reasons and it’s just has been hardly 2 weeks and I just realized it was a mistake and now I don’t feel comfortable among people and today was my first day at college the worst 😭 But I want to say tysm for the video
Im def not a liberal but i so want to shave my head. Im afraid people will think im apart of the 4b movement 😮 at least you are pretty tho, i dont think i could pull it off. Im half german amd mongolian and got the worst traits from each ethnicity sadly so no hair would be easier for me

Thank you!! It's been almost 10 months now, excited to reach 1 year!

I feel you! 5 months along now and I'm sure you look beautiful!! Hard sometimes from your own POV
@@haiku8072 🥺❤️ thank you. It’s a short pixie now and I love it! 🥰

Please post your head shave video

Thanks for the candid video.
I want to see the picture from two months ago.
And I wonder if there are any plans to shave in the future.
Thanks :) I have a few pictures from when I first shaved it, I might include them in a future update video...no plans to shave my head again in the future but who knows!
