D/s implications of head shaving. (48)

Can your job really have a say in you shaving your head or not - seems an infringement on your human rights? Can imagine your old man not liking his little princess with shaved hair though - think it would finish my dad off if my sister popped round to see him like that! See when you think about it away from a libratarian bubble it's still a super transgressive hair cut for a lady. That's probably another reason why I think it's ace! I have to say I don't link the chemo hairloss thing with this at all - but the outside world may not agree so I get your point. (My mother recently went through breast cancer)

I was thinking the charity headshave is probably the alltime classic excuse - good luck with your surgery by the way!

No my job really cannot dictate how I have my hair at work and considering I'll be working in a gym I doubt it will matter nearly as much as if I was working as a legal secretary etc. Considering when I went for my interview I had bright red/almost fuchsia fringe yet still managed to get the job.

That being said, it is mostly my parents that would disapprove. My mother has come to realise that I will usually do what I want, and the fact I'm 33 I still have to answer to them at times can be annoying still - even though I've been living away from home for a number of years now and married for five.

The strange thing is my mom seems more concerned about my having short hair or no hair will make me look like a lesbian - because whilst watching Big Brother one of the girls went in and cut her hair really short and everyone on Big brother's little brother kept commenting on how much she now looked like a lesbian etc etc. The only thing that worries me is more the whole skinhead thing.

I suppose there is still a lot of stigma attached to women with short hair or shaved heads.

I'm the world's greatest lover and a dancin' machine I get loud, I get proud and it gets worse Well, if I have one, I'll have thirteen Naw, there ain't no in-between 'Cause, the more I drink, the more I drink.

I've found head shape is the most crucial factor. Until you shave your head you never quite know the exact shape of your skull, and some folks find they have a head that really doesn't look right with no hair.

As far as the D/s aspects go, it's going to depend a lot on the person. If your shavee connects their hair strongly with their identity, especially their gender identity, then it's a huge submission to have it shorn off. Headshaving someone with longish hair is also just about the most long-lasting, non-permanent body modification you can do.

Even if the shorn one doesn't connect hair and identity in this way, the renewal or "re-birth" aspect of cutting off hair is still there. It's a strong symbolic representation of change.

Lastly, of course, getting your head shaved is an excellent way of putting bandits off guard when you're rescuing hostages from water mills.

Kambei's Head Shave

Wisdom says: be strong! Then canst thou bear more joy.

It didn't make me feel any more submissive to be honest - in some ways it put me on a more equal footing with her as she had been shaving her head for a few years anyway. We would make an odd pair in the street with our shaved heads, me short and chubby, her tall and slim.

I used to beg my friends to do it when i was drunk as a teenager, but they never did.

It's something now that i'd love to do in a D/s way, with him shaving it and all the tasty trappings that would bring with it.

BUT, i think my face is too round to really suit it and at the moment, my job might be a bit funny with it. But perhaps if i keep losing weight and get any slack at work, then fingers crossed!

I just like women's hair, its an attractive feature. It is also fun to pull during sex . I can't see me shaving anyone's head any time soon. Having said that, I don't see any particular purpose for hair on a woman below her head.....
