Bald Beauties

I think a bald or shaved head is such a bold move. My sister had cancer and had to shave her head after chemotherapy. She got a wig but rarely wore it. She was absolutely beautiful with her little bald head. I do not think hair length should define femininity whatsoever. You do not have to have long flowing locks to feel as though you are feminine or a female. It is frustrating that society so often equates beauty with things such as hair. It is impossible to watch TV or flip through a magazine where there is not emphasis on hair color, style or texture. I shaved my head a few years ago for a cancer fundraiser and it was one of the most liberating experiences of my life. Granted, this bald head was my choice. A woman with alopecia or cancer who loses their hair does not have that choice. That is why I so greatl respect and honor them by being proud and showing the world that one without hair can still exude femininity.
