Shave it now!
I shaved the head and other opportunities to reduce the broader myself my hair at different times in my life. One of my friends have started to cut the sides, a little here and there a little, without any particular form or structure until a little mess. I have had clients do the same thing and I had to "fix" it, sometimes with shorter, same haircut, and sometimes with extensions. I had a client with cancer who wanted me to shave his head. She said she wanted to be the one who decided to go simple, this was not the cancer of the decision. I have razed the beautiful blond locks that I saw every eight weeks on the right. Her eyes filled with tears, with my own, but we both smiled because it was his decision, it also decided, at this time to live and fight against cancer. She felt like a warrior with his new statement of hair, and she lived.
I had many clients, especially women to confess to a chopping hair or two. Some of the more passive and wonder what their long blonde hair cut Hair Off their chin and brown, My comment is usually "So how is life treating you? Nine times out of ten, it is a rupture, death, the husband deceived, or on one occasion, the cat of my client died and the next thing I knew her hair had disappeared. Recently, a famous pop star is also disturbed, with her hair! So , why is it bad? Is this a form of independence and freedom or is it an indication of an impending nervous break? It may be a way to release a painful part of your life and start new. I found that it is mainly women who do this when they are in a state of stress. Should this be considered a mental health problem in women? To really get a opinion, I think we must first examine the history of the act itself. Head shaving.
For centuries, the haircut and the act of shaving the head was an act of punishment, belief and a visible distinction between rich and poor. The first example was the shaving of the head of ancient Egypt and Greece. If we had beautiful long hair, it was a symbol of wealth and power, if you lower class, an employee or a slave odds are in your head was shaved. In the 1700s brought the hair with many wigs attachment extensions and trimmings, the largest and most detailed hair the most beautiful and rich, sir or madam, you must be.
For Religion
If you look closely you will notice that the head shaving is a part of the Buddhist, Christian, Muslim, Hindu and Jain traditions. Buddhist monks and Christians in general subject to some form of head shaving during their ordination. When a prince who became the Buddha has left the castle to find a way of aging beyond the illness and eventual death of one of the first things he did was shave his head and beard off, c That is why the Buddhist monks shave their heads completely and beard, to show their commitment to their beliefs. In some religions shaving his head when your father or a loved one dies. The concept behind the shaving of the head is a symbol of renunciation, the hair is a symbol of commitment and should be free, it is to get rid of the life of worldly attachment. So on the one hand, it can be a noble to have stripped Hair Off for your religious values, coordination and ritual of the Dark Ages, it was not uncommon for a woman to cut her tresses and give it to her husband who was fighting the establishment for good luck and protect him in his journey. In the 1800s, people wore medallions encased locks of their hair. We still, even today, keep locks of hair to keep the interest our children in the first cutting of hair is usually recorded and kept as a souvenir. On the other hand, it can be a symbol of grief, shame, humiliation and degradation.
The prisoners, the insane and the concentration camps WW2 practiced all the head shaving as part of the sentence and for hygienic reasons, this law has prevented the spread of lice. From 2006, several countries like the United States, Russia and Libya still shaved the heads of detainees as punishment and boot camps for young offenders. The practice of shaving heads has been used in the military, most new recruits. And all hair, they are allowed to be a military standard that is about 4 cm of hair on top.
Many women over the centuries have had this type of sentence given for many reasons, it was common for men to shave the head of a woman for the act of adultery, even prosutution disobedience. A textile factory in England in 1849, used to house male and female workers for the most part were young children and adolescents. They were forced to work 10-14 hours per day and those who had a house outside the plant would have to walk and time and return, they need to earn enough food that the families are large in that day and if you were able you worked. It was used physical violence in the factories (flogging, strap and other beatings) to be late, not working fast enough and talk back, but the worst and most feared of sentences of all is when you have disobeyed, attempted to escape or you lied to the shaved head. The girls were proud of their hair and he hopes it will help to find a husband and the horrific conditions of the factory one day.
During WW2 in France from 1943 -1946 on 20,000 women of all ages and professions have been accused of sexual abuse, economic and all to collaborate with the German occupier. Most often, it was the men who carried out the penalty to shave the head, sometimes accused of the town square from a crowd to humiliate, degrade and make an example of their treason, and sometimes it an issue that has been done in the house at the hands of the accused, the father of the wife or husband. The act of shaving the head is in itself was a punishment, but also a reminder of the crime to the accused, as he grew up and the public that things are thrown into these women's past wearing a headscarf if they were allowed to cover the damage.
Fashion
In the late 70's early 80's and shaved heads inspired by British punk rock has become a no hold barred to rebel against parents, authority and everything that you thought you oppresses, shaved the heads of people declare their independence in their own identity and the abandonment of ideas and actions that were expected. The skinhead was born. And what about athletes like Michael Jordan and Charles Barkley who made the bald head of the thing and tons of young men imitating all the cool new look athletic, but when a woman will shave people's heads, but the eyes look really been copied? What about Sigourney Weaver in Aliens, Demi Moore in GI. Jane, and Natalie Portman in V for Vendetta, I remember when Sinead O'Connor was popular to see people drawn from the appearance, but did not cause the need for sharpening scissors as "Rachel "made in 90 years.
How we help others by "chopping" our hair
The gift of our natural heritage, the value of 10-12 inches of hair to organizations that help make wigs for children with cancer is one of the ways to help. I have had clients do this, especially a young woman caring for all 10 years wanted to donate her hair to Locks of Love Foundation. It has reduced its size length hair to her chin to help another child feel a little better while fighting for his life. I was really inspired by his generosity. In August 2006, thousands of prisoners have been shaving their heads and chests to donate hair to help mop up the Philippines worst oil spill. The collection was in response to a nationwide. Tons of hair and feathers have been used to absorb more than 200,000 liters of industrial fuel that leaked from a tanker when it sank off the central island of Guimaras 15,000 prison inmates to a maximum Security in the south of Manila, 1000, including death row, began to show hair. Combine the hair with oil and go for the biggest butcher in history and you thought it was gross when you had to unclog your shower drain. Nearly 500 hair salons in Manila have joined the "Stop the Oil Spill" drive by collecting hair clippings from their shops.
Thus, depending on when and why you shave the head or if you did it to everyone or if you're just thinking to do, There are some common traits that seem to appear for whatever reason, 1) control, so eager to be in control or emotionally out of control, 2) generally a marker of life, an event, a call to action, or even a traumatic experience. Whatever the reason, it is an experience one never forgets.
