I’m really tempted to shave my head. But my hairs always been my safety blanket and I don’t want to regret it

Heyyy! Just wanna add my personal anecdote, about 2 years ago I suddenly got fed up with my hair and had a sudden irresistible urge to buzz my hair. It was about a week between the initial idea and the cut. I liked it for about a month and I realized I REGRETTED IT SO FUCKING HARD. I look back at that time and realize i was totally displacing some other feelings of dissatisfaction in my life and projecting it on my hair. In a way I'm glad I did it because some great things happened BECAUSE I was so unsatisfied with having a shaved head-- 2019 was super productive for me BECAUSE I DIDNT WANT TO LEAVE MY APARTMENT BECAUSE I FELT UGLY AS FUCK!! If you ever decide to grow it back out, you will feel like the ugliest mother fucker between a half inch to 8 inches of length.

It's been two years and I'm still dealing with confidence issues because of this decision! I finally have enough length to put it up in a shitty ponytail but I have such bad hair envy of anyone with long hair.

And I'm not even bad looking to begin with, I'm an attractive woman regardless but I miss the fuck out of my long hair.

I know a couple of other girls who had the same experience I did after shaving their head.

If you still want to buzz your head, just spend some time thinking about it and make sure you're doing it for the right reasons! You're super pretty and I'd hate for you to go through what I did! I'd give anything to have your length.
