Bold and weird

I finally did it! During my first Camino in Spain, in 2006, I was dreaming of shaving my head. I decided not to do it then, as I had a High School Reunion that summer and did not want to shock my previous classmates. Yet, the dream stayed with me.

Curious about the shape of my head and excited to see my scalp for the first time ever (except for some old black and white baby pictures), I finally took Mike’s shaving machine to my head on the 13th of Oct. (my mother’s birthday) 2013. The machine’s battery died after half the job and we could not find the charger. LOL I had to put a wig on and go shopping for a new shaver. πŸ™‚

I found the experience amusing and I discovered that the secret is too look happy, even if I had to admit, I did have second thoughts when I took the scissors to my long hair.

Wearing wigs for most of the first two months, I also used onlyΒ  a baseball cap at times. By now, although my hair is still awfully short, I dare going to work with no wig. I am hoping to gain stronger hair and a stronger me due to the experience as well. Not a big deal. Just a few months out of a lifetime of a hairy head. LOL

You can see pictures of the process in here. Even my cat was looking at me in a strange way. πŸ™‚ IMG_6742_MG_6750IMG_6743IMG_6759IMG_6757IMG_6764IMG_6765IMG_6772IMG_6781IMG_6782_MG_6902

Last picture is after five days from the shaving.

    You look GREEEEEEEEEEEEEEAT !!!
    Asa te vreau !!!

    SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUPER !!!
    Imi amintesc de prima data cand am facut-o, in 1998, inainte de a pleca o luna in USA, a trebuit sa o fac singura, nimeni nu voia, aveam par lung si ondulat…

    Kisssssssses,
    Irina

    1. Sint curioasa ce te-a determinat si de cite ori te-ai ras pe cap.
      E prima oara pentru mine. Ti s-a intarit parul? Eu sper si in asa ceva.
      Te admir. Super! Fara peruci de fel? XOXO

    De cand m-am tuns, eu nu mai port cercei mari, doar mici, pe lobi=ul urechii, am doua gauri.
    Inainte purtam, inclusiv stil veriga, cum ai tu in penultima foto, sau lungi pana la umeri.
    Super esti, plus ca intinereste teribil chestia asta.
    Iti mai scriu maine, am niste musafiri intarziati. Am petrecut bine, dar vreau sa ma odihnesc, sper sa nu mai apara nimic in weekend.

    Cu mare drag

  3. Merci, Irina. Esti o dulce. Tu de cite ori te-ai tuns? Cheala?
    Am acum aproape trei luni de la chelire. Am renuntat la peruci dar abea astept sa mai creasca un pic. E inca prea scurt.” πŸ™

  4. Sfat : care la mine a functionat, ca aveam rarit parul rau in fata, se vedea bine pielea capului.
    Cat mai esti in tara recomand de la Doppel herz Substante vitale pentru par cu zinc si extract de mei.
    Au si extract de grau parca si vitamina B, sunt 30 intru-un pachet, se ia una pe zi si costa cam 30 de lei noi. Eu fac acum preventiv asta primavara si toamna cate un pachet (parca atunci il apuca caderile excesive )
