I shaved my head 😳😅

I’ve always felt like shaving my head was something I wanted to do at some point in my life, but I’ve always felt too nervous to do it (yes, even as someone who changes my hair so often 😅). After my mom was diagnosed with cancer she made me promise I wouldn’t shave my head, so I know she’d hate this 😅😆 but I also know she’d love that I’m being brave (even if she didn’t understand why I’d do this to myself haha).

Hair is a big security blanket for me, even when it’s short I feel like it’s a big part of the way I express myself.

There’s something exciting and terrifying about stripping it away - I feel more vulnerable already.

I’ve also heard it said that hair holds memory, and to be honest the past year has been pretty brutal - so maybe this can act as somewhat of a fresh start.

So here’s to taking risks and doing something new and out of my comfort zone! Hopefully I don’t regret it 😅🙈 (I did have a big “what the **** did I do?!” moment this morning 😅 but I’m back to loving it again this afternoon haha)

Was time for a chop just before summer hits.
