What maketh a woman - Your Hair?

Funny how we ladies strive to go hairless with other parts of our body (think cream, shave, threading, wax, strips & lasers) but god forbid if we should suggest shaving the head bald! After getting my shave say, around 30 days ago for Bald for Fund, these were what had transpired (doesn't reflect sequence of event) :

- You are so brave! (from supportive attendees during events)

- Thank you so much for doing what you did (from organizer of event and also friends / their family who had brushes with cancer)

- OMG! You a hero(ine), (wo)man! (my friends during gathering)

- You still look cute / good (my darling & friends)

- I love a woman who's bald and daring (coming from a Malaysian malay male custom officer)

- It's good you doing a part for charity, good karma for your parents and your family, living or dead (coming from my aunt, late dad's side) - don't ask me how she knows, unless my mom / sis updates her or she saw it through the papers (i'm assuming here)

- Why did you do it? You crazy?! (from family, friends whatnots)

- Show me your bald head la! (from male friends mostly)

- 'Question mark hovering their head' & weird look & but too "polite" to ask hence they stare~

- You went for prayer is it? Or perhaps assumed I'm a nun when I had my scarf wrapped round my shoulder. Can't ppl differentiate robe or a pashmina? (some random ppl)

- How does it feel? Let me touch! (my girlfriend)

- Itchy or not? (my friends)

- Why you still have white hair 1? (my friends)

Only a shaved head can generate so much attention.. *Attention seekers out there, here's your cue*

Benefits for me :

1) When was the last time you went to a hairdresser without paying and he/she won't harm your life or threaten your family?

2) Less shampoo time

3) Less drying time

4) Don't need to use diffuser anymore

5) Grew stronger hair this time around?

6) Get to fashion myself after Nefertiti (you'll see future post about this ^_^)

Disbenefits for me :

1) I get sick from getting too hot or cold on my scalp so always have cap, beanie & scarves ready

2) Itch easier cos hair growing longer

3) Suddenly my head becomes a petting zoo or just any zoo (being looked at), maybe I should start charging?

Must always have a 'Before' pic, right?

Even though smiling, was afraid blade will cut me. I know, stupid right?

Hand almost numb from holding up my cut up curls, hehehe~

Thank god for his power of concentration, no injury XD

Who says you can't smile or laugh being bald?
Can't you see my bald head's shining with me too?

1st week after shaving. (Yes, i do go out au naturel)

2nd week after
(Can you see the peace sign, awareness ribbon & almost ankh-like symbol?)

3rd week (It grew so fast!)

Ok, I'm not lying, it really grew that fast!

Being bald does have some liberating effects.. My head is lighter, I don't have to worry about bed head, hair products or diffuser (else smelly scalp if left to dry naturally). Also, if i am any flatter on my chest or ass I'd probably pass as a dude. How cool is it to cross dress and travel the world (just like Daniela Sea from The L Word's fame)?

So ladies, does your hair maketh you the woman you are or the woman you are maketh the hair? If anyone should tell you that you are a lesser woman by the existence or the length of your hair, you can always do this :

I was cute until you made me do this~

Also, this video is dedicated to you ladies out there : 

Happy Sunday!
