What does it feel like for a girl to shave her head?

In Dali

It has been a year since I shaved my head last year. This year has had its ups and downs. When I read through my old articles again, I still admire my bravery at that time. of myself. Some people may still ask, if long hair looks so good, why do you need to shave it off? Are you stimulated by something? It’s a lie to say that I just wanted to experience the cool world without any stimulation... However, I have been thinking about shaving my head for almost a year, so this is not an impulsive behavior. Growing up, I saw two girls shave their heads. One is when I was in junior high school, there was a girl in the high school department of our same school who shaved her head, wore a cool headscarf, rode a cool mountain bike, and wore cool clothes around the campus.

The other was a friend I met on the road when I was traveling on the Yunnan-Tibet line in 13 years. He was from the south, very quiet, not big, carrying a big bag, and had a bald head. At that time, I thought to myself, if such a quiet girl shaved her head, she was either broken in love or suffered a blow. Many people must have asked her why she shaved her head. I'd better suppress my curiosity and not ask others. .

I had my hair shaved in Lijiang on July 19 last year. Before that, I had short hair and had been on the road for more than a month.

The comments are going to explode, as expected. Some people didn't believe it was me, some carefully recognized that the bracelet on the left hand was mine, some wanted to see a frontal photo, some praised how brave they were, some praised their good hair shape, some wanted to borrow it to make a profile picture, some said it looked like the back. Miller, the male protagonist of "Prison Break"...

Then I replied coldly and uniformly: Well, it is indeed me.

When I was about to lie down to sleep, my hands were habitually trying to arrange my hair. When my cold hands touched my head, I felt a chill. At that moment, I realized that the cold started from the feet, and it was clearly cold from the head. rise!

When taking a shower, you can wash your hair as much as you want. After washing, just wipe the water beads with a towel and you are done. You no longer need to blow dry and style your hair with a hair dryer.

For a lazy person like me, this is so cool!

When you go out, you must wear a hat at all times to prevent your head from catching a cold. Even if the weather is July, you must protect yourself from the sun and avoid strange looks from passers-by.

When having sex, there is no need to worry about "Oh, you are pressing my hair" anymore. But there was also a moment when I saw the other person’s size, which made me feel like we were two comrades...

Ahem, I didn’t ask him if he felt the same way as me. He suggested that I buy one. I'm wearing a wig, but I won't wear it anyway. I didn’t shave my head just to wear a wig, huh!

But it only lasted two days, and then he went to the border to guard the border. By the time he came back, my hair was ready to be tied into a ponytail.

After shaving my head in Lijiang, I continued to wander around Yunnan and Sichuan. On the road, most of the people I met and talked to would ask me why a girl shaved her head, etc., and I often laughed it off. Sometimes when someone doesn't recognize me as a boy or a girl, I puff up my chest and say confidently, "Didn't you see that they have breasts?"

This picture was taken secretly by a friend while having breakfast in the inn where I stayed. If it weren't for the shoulder straps that accidentally slipped out, many people would think he was a domineering and flirtatious boy.

The first impression of the handsome Swiss guy I met in the inn was that he was lustful, and I, a bald girl, was no exception. We traveled to Lugu Lake for 3 days together and felt pretty good. He is the only person I met who didn’t ask why he was bald. Maybe it’s because he’s not surprised at all, or maybe it’s because he thinks my English understanding is limited, haha!

I wandered all the way to Chengdu, and in a youth hostel, I met a guy named Wai Guoren, who was smoking and bald and speaking in Russian that I didn’t understand. At first I didn’t pay attention, but later a friend introduced her to me and said she was a Russian bald girl. Oh my God! I really didn't recognize her as a girl because she looked very manly when she smoked and her breasts were very flat (although mine were not big either).

We briefly communicated in broken English and learned that she shaved her head entirely because she was traveling on the road. It was too hot and it was inconvenient to have long hair, so she shaved her head.

Unfortunately, she doesn’t use Wechat and I don’t use Facebook, so in the end I didn’t leave any contact information, just a selfie. Looking back now, this group photo is the most precious photo in my bald history to me.

Hahaha

After taking the photo, I happily posted it on WeChat Moments. It was also the first time I posted a frontal bald photo, and the comments below exploded again. He mostly praised his courage and gained many fans, haha!

After I returned to my hometown, my neighbors and other women asked me why I shaved my head. At first I was wondering how so many people knew about it, and I didn’t add their WeChat accounts. Later I thought about it, if girls shave their heads in rural areas, it can easily become a topic of discussion after dinner.

In these days at home, maybe because I eat well and have less stress, my hair grows quickly. My mother even jokingly asked me to shave her head again. She felt distressed when her daughter looked bald!

Does having a bald head cause me any inconvenience? If I have to say it, it is that I am disliked by my two little nephews. There will be a parent-teacher meeting after the exam, because my brother and sister-in-law are busy. In the past, I would definitely go to the parent-teacher meeting instead, not to mention that I also help my nephew with his studies.

As a result, my two nephews refused to let me go, and even my fourth-grade nephew cried in grievance. Are you afraid of being laughed at by your classmates? I had this similar feeling when I was a kid.

I had never worn a hat before. After shaving my head, I tried various hats. Wearing a hat with short hair basically doesn’t pick up on the shape of my face. It’s great!

In my hometown

At that time, this photo of Little Red Riding Hood was liked more than a hundred times in the circle of friends. I felt that my life was at its peak, and I was inflated for several days because of this, haha !

In addition, I would like to warn all girls based on the experience of those who have been there: hairstyle is very important, but you must not mess with your hair too often, especially the frequency of dyeing your hair, which should not be more than once a year.

Finally, for girls who want to shave their heads, if it’s because of a breakup, I suggest you get a new hairstyle.
