    I dont know about Instagram because I don't have it. But being bald is just a hairstyle. I'm super chill. I don't wear makeup or jewelry and my clothes look like a uniform (lol, I'm like Doug). People need to realize different people like different things. And that's it.👍🏾🤗❤

    Excellent video! You are beautiful! Well I am 54 years old and I decided to by choice liberate myself from hair and all that comes with it particularly in my city and country which is definitely weave down your back country but hey to each his own. The first time I walked out of the house after shaving my head using your video on shaving by the way, I took a major deep breath, put on sunglasses and ear phones with loud gospel music. and went to church. You know the place of no condemnation. LOL! The plus is many men here say wow natural, beautiful but the women....!!!! One female cashier at my local grocery store said, "you are so brave." I asked why, "well between the blue mascara and..." Oh my bald head you mean I asked. "Yes" Well I told her I decided to liberate myself from other people's perception of what I should look like. I am very happy. It is so nice to jump into a shower after a sweaty morning run and just let the water run full force on my head. My makeup is lipstick which I love and mascara some times. Foundation and powder I cannot do because of my sensitive skin but my go to moisturizer is Moroccan Argan Oil. I love being bald and that's my very happy business. :)

    Four years ago I shaved my head, just because. People freaked out at first they thought I had cancer. When it all settled I was complemented a lot. It's felt empowering flaunting my bald head.

    You have a perfect head shape! I'm jealous! I've shaved my head off and on for the last 7 years. Hair does not define us! Keep being awesome! You look beautiful🤗

    A lot of guys are really stupid and have been brainwashed to think a bald woman automatically looks like a man. No, a bald woman looks like a woman...with no hair on her head. That's it!
    If you were in a relationship with a man and a stranger made a nasty or cheeky comment in his presence, how would you expect your boyfriend to react? ( I'm quite curious about this)

      torresstr8 He'd probably be pretty angry. I'm bald myself right now because I chose to cut my hair. He protects, defends me and tells me I'm beautiful no matter what decision I make with my hair. At most my boyfriend would ignore them or at most if it got too serious, call that person out on their sh**.

    Lord child. You are gorgeous. My bday is in 2 days and I'm missing my hair like this. You were just the reassurance I needed! No edge-up, no concern for "corners" or my hairline/ edge-up growing out! Just me. Love it Sis!

    I’d really like to shave my head, but I anticipate feeling pressured to start wearing makeup and pluck my brows to “make up” for my lack of hair.

    Hi Karen, I came across your video and this is a topic I am very familiar with. First, I wish to comment that as a person who has elected to wear low or no hair; I have never felt more Beautiful! It is a freeing and liberating experience and when that is exuded from a person, confidence exceeds and non-seeking validation is evident...that is pretty hard to trump. Also, some people will have their definition on what "beauty" is suppose to look for another. The actual fact is Beauty is a State of Being*, if YOU/I FEEL We Are Beautiful! We ARE. It amazes me that some people would question another on appearance instead of focusing on their own INNER reckoning; this way, they could put the focus on themselves because if they feel confident; they will have nothing to question about another, there would be not point to do so. We should go deeper than what is on the outer surface, it is Far More Interesting, Indeed!
    By The Way...YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL! Period. Only YOU Define Y O U. JOYOUS BLESSINGS*

    I had my head shaved for a while last summer and it was absolute bliss but then I felt like very pressured to be super modern looking and funky or else feel bad about my normal style + being bald. So in that way, I totally feel what you're saying

  • @SunshineMena
    @SunshineMena 9 лет назад +8

    I feel the exact same way and actually I used your video as a tutorial on how to shave my head myself and I'm so glad you're making these videos because I'm also not overtly sexy or overtly Afrocentric and people don't seem to be able to "place" me somewhere and that makes them uncomfortable. Loved the video!

    • @karenolla
      @karenolla  9 лет назад +1

      Thank you love for the support your amazing how long have you been bald for? Try not to feel uncomfortable just focus on the positives and remember your not the only one out there xxxx

      I've been bald since mid November and it was so liberating for me because I'd been thinking about shaving my head for about a year prior to actually doing it. I'm fine with it, it's just weird how much of a big deal other people make of me not having hair when to me it's not that serious. I'm comfortable this way and I don't feel like I need to "compensate" in femininity in other ways. The rest of the world just needs to chill lol

    • @karenolla

      +SunshineMena - The issue I have with being bald is that people always want to touch my head. It's extremely annoying!

    You look beautiful. Beauty is subjective. You wear the hair, it does not wear u.At the end of the day you have to love and accept u. I thought some of the men had gotten better. I used to wear a low afro in the 90s and I was told by male and females people r going to think u r gay. That is ignorant. Sexy is not just about wearing clothes,sexy can be a woman being intelligent and confidence is sexy. Sexy is subjective too.

    Confession time! I want to shave my hair as I suffer from trichotillomania. But, here is the kicker. I have (under my wig) really big ears. So freakin Finally in this month I am getting it fix. So I can finally liberate that side if myself!

    Really depends on who you follow as to whether you see certain aesthetics or not on your feed also whats considered beautiful/sexy to you vs another varies person to person. Don’t get me wrong pretty privilege does exist, yes. 💕✨

    As a female with shaved head, I feel like I’m not super relatable because of the shaved head, and I get put in boxes that aren’t true. I wish that a shaved head could just be seen as tactical or practical
