So, my mother picked me up yesterday. We went shopping...and she saw my shaved head for the first time.
She...does not agree. Lol. She completely flipped out in the car: "Why did you do that to your hair?! Dah-da-da-da-DAH-dah-dah..." It's actually kind of funny now, but I really didn't expect that kind of reaction from her. I knew she'd be surprised, and was prepared for her not to like it, but...she took it quite seriously, more seriously than I had expected.
It doesn't look feminine, it doesn't look good, I don't like it, etc, etc, etc...but to me, it's just hair. Nothing more. Plus, I just don't like doing my hair, I never have. She says, Well, neither do I! But that doesn't mean you can just cut it all off! And I'm like, "Why not?"
No answer. But maybe an hour later, she apologizes and says she was just shocked, and that it doesn't look bad. She just likes how I look with hair. I tell her it's no biggie, and that I understand. I kind of meant the hair(lessness) to be a surprise, but I didn't realize how serious it was for her. Plus, honestly, I've gotten nothing but compliments about it since I got it done. Perfect strangers tell me I look pretty and have a nice face shape for a shaved head; even my boyfriend likes it, and he's always objected to my cutting my hair in the past. So I guess I was expecting her to like it at least a little bit...but, whatev. It was soon forgotten, and all is well. :)
