If you are reading this, welcome back! I hope my 1st post gave you some insight to who I am...well at least some insight, lol. When I posted my last post, I continue to think of what I could talk/blog about...& then it hit me. Everyone asked me about this subject, so with that being said...let's talk about my bald head.
{#Throwback: When I was rocking my platinum blonde haircut...Taken on 12/2009}
Back in 2009, I was rocking the short, platinum haircut which was 1 of my favorite hairstyles. I was on YouTube looking at different videos & I ran across Angel Lovelii's aka "AngelLuv2Cum" latest video (Shout out to you!) which was titled I Am Bald!!! Natural Delights! This is the video:
After I watched that video, I was in awe. I was like..."Oh yes! I have to shave my head!". I was excited at the thought about going bald. When I told my mom about my thoughts of going bald, she thought I was going crazy. She literally asked if I was going crazy & I laughed (like I always do) & replied that this something I would like to try. I continue to watch Angel's video for inspiration & confidence to move forward in being bald. I eventually put my pending bald look on the "back burner" when our [New Orleans] weather started changing.
As time went by, I wore lace front wigs for a brief moment & eventually went back to my platinum blonde haircut. I started adding colors such as turquoise to my hair to make my haircut a little more unique. It only satisfied me for awhile. I needed a new look immediately.

In June 2010, I was watching the BET Awards & I saw the singer Prince in the audience with this lovely bald head plus size woman (I don't know if she was his girlfriend or his manager but she was definitely rocking her bald head.). My desire to be bald came back with a vengence....I didn't want to do it anymore...I NEEDED TO SHAVE MY HEAD!!!! Once again, I told my mom I'm going to shave my head. She asked, "Are you really going to do it or are you talking shit again?". I replied, "Yes, I am going to do it.". When I brought my "master plan" to my barber, he was very excited & was ready to do it. On July 16, 2010, it was "Shaving Day". I did my makeup & put on my peacock feathers earrings...barbershop, here comes Indi!!! When I arrived there, the barbershop crowded like always. It was my turn to get my hair cut, my stomach was in knots! My barber (at that time) asked if I was going to do it like we talked about it. I responded quickly, "Yep, I am ready for it!". He took the clipper guard off his clippers, turned the clippers on, & starting cutting. Within minutes, I felt a breeze like never before grazing across my naked scalp. When he was finished, he turned me around in the chair & asked if I liked it. I opened my eyes, smiled, & said "I love it...where's my camera?". The guys that was in the barbershop had a lot of positive comments to say. I was in love...with my bald head.
{Friday, July16, 2010...I did it! I am BALD & LOVING IT!}
I have been bald for 2 years now & I love everyday of being bald. Being bald (by choice) have a lot of people looking & guessing. For some people that is battling cancer, my bald head serves as inspiration for them to rock their heads without wigs & scarves. Most people (including women) thinks it's sexy & there's some people think I'm fucking crazy for the choice I've made. As you can read & see, I AM BALD BY CHOICE!!!! These are some of the questions I have got in regards to being bald:
Q: Damn, you shaved your head!!! Did a dude break up with you & you went crazy?
A: I was ALREADY single so nobody made me go crazy. This is something that I wanted to do.
Q: Do you have cancer & going through chemo?
A: No!!!! I am bald by choice.
Q: What reactions do you receive from men being bald?
A: Most of the men that I have encountered really likes my bald head. They really find that the bald look is sexy & exotic. Men love to caress & rub my head. I had a man to request to lick my head...lol.
Q: Do you have alopecia?
A: No, I don't.
Q: Will you ever grow you hair back?
A: At this point in my life, I am enjoying my bald head. I don't know if I will ever grow my hair again. As of right now, no.

I think I did enough of talking but it's something that I have been wanting to express because some people will never understand me. So, with these words, I hope someone will actually understand without assuming what & why I am bald. So thank you in advance for reading this! xoxo :)

ReplyDeleteJust wanted to say you are one sexy lady for sure. Love the bald style. Greetings from Germany.
ReplyDeleteHey, my hair is falling out because of PCOS, I went to get medication today to stabilize my hormones but I was looking up side effects... and no thank you. I'm gonna try and treat it naturally but it's gonna take up to 6 more months... so I may keep losing my hair. If I loose too much I think I'll just shave it. My boyfriend is an artist and draws bald chicks all the time... and he says he actually likes the look... so the only thing to get over is the shock I will feel at losing my hair.I have had super long hair my whole life (I'm 6 ft tall and I used to have my hair at least 3 feet long) After I had my daughter my hair started falling out and breaking (thyroid) so I cut it to the nape of my neck, and it was just starting to get long again, and now it's falling out again :( but I can't poison myself with these meds.. I gotta fix it naturally, so I'm trying to prepare myself for being bald. I was googling pictures of chubby/fat/round bald girls and came across your blog. It's good to see, because I had no idea what my face would look like without my hair. I think I'd look ok now. Thanks for doing this blog.
