It’s the day after shaving my head and as I get ready, I feel rejuvenated and excited. I can’t wait to see the new me. Strangely I had to put on my earrings first so I had something to work off when doing my makeup; I don’t know why, perhaps to match or to be in symmetry!

Looking in the mirror, I really like my new look and I want to free the bald head and wear it with pride. Before leaving the house, I quickly put on the wig to make sure I am making the right decision. The wig completely changes my image and makes me look safe and boring. I take it off and straight away I see how the shaved look gives me an edge. I decide there and then to not wear the wig again.

Though you can change your hair into countless styles, having no hair changes each outfit in countless ways. I now have a new edgy look to play with.
