Strong urge to shave my head

[Final Escape]

I been fighting the urge to shave my head last couple of days lol! I'm just annoyed with my hair but I won't do it. I'm trying to figure out why the urge so intense and trying to wait it out. Can't decide what the underlying issue is. It's not like my hair is that bad or it's really long. It's just I'm sick of even having to blow dry it or do anything to it to have to style it.

Same. I've succumb to the urge twice before. Might tonight. I tend to actually give in to it when I'm very anxious

I shaved mine before and loved it but felt self conscious for awhile till it grew back some. It is liberating.

It's extremely liberating in the moment but I hate how I look with no hair lol

I Think Sinéad O'Connor looked
Really good after shaving hers.

I kinda liked it on me but I needed makeup to make it look less like I'm a chemo patient or butch. I have somewhat strong or prominent features so it doesn't exactly soften my look. I felt a little like ripley off alien lol! Cross between that lady or Winona Ryder.

Do it. It was one of the first things I did when I got out of my abusive situation.

Best hair decision I ever made.

To me it's a good hairstyle. Hygienic and almost indispensable in summertime

And very confortable, except you have 0 hair and sunlight burns your head...

Yeah, we would need reflective tanning oils to bounce sunrays back.
It would look almost superheroic. Almost like as a laser gun show °_°

I do it every couple of days.

I've done this as a form of self harm, and a form of self expression.

It can feel good, but takes a long time to grow back. The phases of it growing back can make it difficult to style, so keep that in mind if you do. And all of the comments about how "long hair is better", or "I liked your hair longer." People don't realize that it's actually quite hurtful.
