and trying not to fall
So only one person replied to my previous post, but I guess I decided to shave my head today after being super hot and sweaty in our house (no air conditioning) today while I was drying dishes. I thought about how nice it would be to have no hair and so right after I finished up, I shaved it all off. I did a bit of playing around for the heck of it. I went for a biker look, an intellectual biker look, and then the finished job with and without glasses. Pictures below!
So, I’m thinking about shaving my head. I used to do it occasionally when I was in the military because it was convenient and took a while to grow back. I used to tell people that my head was actually my negative energy reappearing and that I had to shave it off to get rid of it.
I haven’t had my hair cut since I got out of the military, and it has grown quite long. In some ways, I quite enjoy having my long hair because I’ve wanted to have it this long for many years. In other ways, it is quite annoying. Until you have long hair you never quite realize how much shampoo you have to use to clean long hair. It is way more than I used before. I’m also finding it quite annoying during hot weather. When I sweat it wets my hair and it gets very gross. I do not enjoy that at all. I also find it difficult to sleep on my hair, so I kind of tuck it up underneath my head.
For years I saw beards and long hair as symbols of some freedom I could only have outside of the military. Now that I have them, I realize that the freedom I wanted was inside of me, and I’m still seeking it. Having a beard is more of a convenience thing rather than a fashion statement for me at the moment, and the long hair only remains until I decide to get rid of it. My question for you is, should I shave my head and beard? I’ll attach a 9 picture evolution in appearance below. It starts before I got out of the military last year and ends today.
The good thing is that I don’t see any hair loss so far, and it only took me 8 months to get it this long, so it isn’t as if I’m giving up something I can’t get back. Oh, by the way - the second picture is my interpretation of someone with “bling” and a “grill” in case you’re confused.
