The Bald and Beautiful

Remember I talked about shaving my hair off back in this post?

Well, as you can see from my FB profile badge, I DID IT!

How did it feel doing it? Well, I think I should tell the story from the beginning.

I didn’t really plan it out, I mean, I planned to have it shaved off during my Bday actually, but instead I went on the spontaneous road. I was back in KK after 2 long years being away. Then just blurted it out to my mom that I wanted to be Bald for once and try how it feels, with the excuse that I also wanted to get rid of my ugly outgrown Blonde hair.

To my surprise, my mom actually agreed to the idea! And so it became a special mom and daughter memory in which she brought me to the BARBER instead of a Salon. She claimed that if we went to the Salon, they’d be gossiping a lot and she hated those yappings.

So off we went on 26th October, just 3 days before I was bound back to Manila.

The Lady in the Barber shop commented when I just walked in to their “men only” shop, that if I wanted a lady-cut this wasn’t the place for me. So we just told them I was just gonna go shave off all the hair. They were only SLIGHTLY shocked, but was kinda supportive though. And so another old man was there and he was the one to shave off my hair.

I was brave enough to shave off my hair but was rather shy to actually show off my narcissism and take pictures of the event!

This was the only pic I managed to take with my hair half shaven..

What people didn’t really know is that I actually shaved my hair twice. The first time, I actually wanted it CLEAN shaven, like using the blade and all. But yes, being me, I was too shy to ask after the guy said he was done. I just wanted to get out from there already!

Then when I told my mom to do it for me, she was scared and said we should just go back there! And so expecting the ugly comments from the same guy, yes, he said “she could’ve mentioned it that day!”.

I was like, hey dude, am paying you double the price of a one-time job ok???

Duh~~

So second time round, my mom remembered to take pictures this time with her phone, but I never got around to get it from her. =.=”

But I did however, took some after shots..

From the shot on the right, you could see that there were some cuts and blood clots from the blade shave..

And then some cam-whore time..

And then 23 days later …

Can’t wait till it all grows out.. next challenge, not to cut my hair for at least 2 years!!!!

For now, onwards to my awkward hair stages  ~~~
