not britney

I shaved it all off. I woke up one morning and was so compelled to do it. It was the one thing I had always wanted to do to my hair. I couldn't get it off my mind throughout the whole day it became an obsession. I wanted to be in a good place in my life and not look back at this process as a troubling time "A BRITNEY MOMENT".  Instead I wanted to look back at it as a liberating and empowering time in my life. So I did it and I absolutely love it and never felt more beautiful. 

I was so attached to my hair. I switch it up every 3 to 4 months whether it was dying or trying a new cut. Shaving it meant there was no changing it up. I would have to sit with the growing it out process which is the state I am currently riding out. Shaving my hair is teaching me so many things about beauty and myself. This yes may sound cheesy but beauty really is confidence within yourself and having a positive energy you exude into the world. My hair doesn't make me hot or sexy. It's the kind person I am, my love of life and pouring nothing but love into what I do. Hair grows and I am growing with the process as well.
