My body, my choice

Today, when I left for work, my girlfriend had gorgeous, very long (down to her hips), dark red hair. When I came home from work, her head was shaved. I asked her why she did it, and all she said was, "I just got tired of taking care of it". FML

What is it with men wanting women to have long hair??? My ex loved when my hair was long and got upset whenever I cut it shorter. But he also hated long hair in the tubs and drains. Short hair is much easier to care for.

I understand the frustration of taking care of longer hair, and my hair is rarely below my shoulders as a result. But I don't understand the logic behind shaving it completely off. It is her choice, but like someone else said, make sure she's okay because a shave is different from a trim.

I hope she is alright. Shaving long hair is often a sign of mental troubles.

Sometimes it’s a cultural thing and women are raised from birth to take pride in their hair. Hair is everything from a personal statement to a mood ring. My girlfriend put in a wig that didn’t suit her and her family almost had an intervention and I learned just how big a deal it can be.

Let's hope she just wanted to donate her luscious hair to some make-wigs-for-cancer-patients foundation.
