2 Years Later: Why I Shaved My Head for Hair Loss — Was It Worth It?
It’s been over two years since I shaved my head for hair loss, and it was by far the single hardest thing for me to have done in my 26 year journey with it. I shaved my head for sanity and striving to live free from my being under the thumb of hair loss or at the mercy of what it does and has done to me over the years.
In this episode, I reflect on the moment I finally did it, what led up to it, and what’s followed: grief, relief, maintenance, and unexpected things like how clothes hit differently without hair.
Whether you’re contemplating shaving your head due to hair loss, living in the space between bio hair and wigs, or perhaps at the start of your journey and just seeking clarity in your own process, I hope this helps. Some of the things discussed are: • Why I couldn’t pull the trigger for so long • What finally gave me the strength to do it • How wigs and bio hair lived in tandem for years • The reality of scalp care, folliculitis, and the daily grind • Why clothes, self-image, and comfort all shift post-shave • What I wish I’d done sooner, and the loss that’s still real.
No regrets. Just truth, trade-offs, and a path forward.
🖤 Thank you for listening.
