my head got shaved when I was born
15 Women Who Went From Bald to Bold With Dazzling Charisma

Dealing with fashion standards is not an easy thing to do, and going against them is a challenging task, especially if you’re a woman. While it’s hard to believe, in the twenty-first century, we as women are still subject to trends imposed by others, whether they be the beauty industry or our own family members. So something like shaving your head, which was frowned upon many years ago, has become popular today. It’s a powerful symbol of freedom to choose what you want to look like. And not only that, but women with shaved heads actually look great. The 15 beautiful women whose pictures we’re showing you below prove this.
Today, Bright Side compiled several pictures of courageous women that decided to shave their heads, so that you too know that you’re free to do whatever you want with your own hair. Maybe you’ll even end up shaving your head too after reading our article!
“Quite enjoying trying some androgynous looks after cutting off my hair. It’s freeing to embrace my masculine side while knowing it doesn’t take away from my femininity.”
“In all honesty, I love the shaved head. It was really empowering and made me question the construct and feelings surrounding hair and femininity.”
“I was getting really tired of maintaining long, wavy hair in this lockdown, so I decided to get rid of it. So liberating!”
“I firmly believe every woman should shave their head at least once. It’s incredibly liberating and not gonna lie... makes me feel a little like a rebel. This is the second time for me!”
“I shaved my head!”
“Keep growing my hair out or shave it off again? I’ve been seriously debating buzzing it back off again to help with the heat, but I don’t know.”
“I finally did it! I shaved my head!”
