Shaved heads hairstyles

One can experience joy, or fear, or just pure adrenaline—everyone is different. And now, with quarantine in the mix, it seems that more and more women are eager for the change. I initially buzzed my hair six years ago after leaving a domestic violence relationship. There was something about knowing he touched the hair on my head that disgusted me. Buzzing meant being free from him. From that point, anytime I felt like I needed to free myself from a feeling or a situation, I'd buzz it again.

When Doja Cat went on Instagram Live last week and debuted a bold, beautiful new look for the world to see — a freshly shaved head and eyebrows to match — the musician caused a bit of a stir on social media. And rather than embracing her decision to wear her hair how she chooses, people online were quick to judge her, including other Black women. Her comment section was filled with people asking if she was OK, frantically questioning her sanity and assuming that she must be having some sort of mental health breakdown. Never one to shy away from an online feud, Doja Cat called out her fans and set the record straight, letting everyone know that she is doing more than OK, and can do what she wants. The situation is the latest moment that forces us to ask: Why do Black women have to go through something to shave their heads? And yet, cutting off all her hair has made her feel alive and more empowered than ever.

While living in quarantine , women have become obsessed with some unexpected things. To name a few: Andrew Cuomo , whipped coffee , sourdough starters , and, for some of us, shaving off all our hair. Record scratch: bald women?!

A full head of hair on a man has long been associated with vitality and virility — think of the Biblical hero Samson, whose strength was in his tresses. But new research suggests that when balding sets in, men might do better to just shave it off. Call it the Bruce Willis effect: men with shorn heads are seen as more dominant, confident and masculine than men with hair, according to a new study published online in July in the journal Social Psychological and Personality Science. A shaved head does strike a blow against a man's perceived attractiveness, however. So study researcher Albert Mannes, a lecturer at the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, advised against picking up the razor unless natural balding is already underway.
