shave it!

can't do a thing with it? just shave it!. i made an off hand comment one night, something to the effect of "i just want to shave off all my hair" and nico perks up with this little smile, and said "let's do it right now" "do what?" "let's shave your head" i pretended to think it over for a few, but my mind was made up two seconds before he asked the question. it had to go. and so it did, i gathered my hair into ponytails for locks of love, and sat outside with devon in my lap, pondering the buzz eminating from mamas head. and i hated it at first glance. and then i loved it five minutes later, not because it had changed much. i felt so fresh, so clean. i felt a little taller, and a lot bolder. and i felt sexy. sexy to the core. i had done away with this cultural tribute to vanity, one which i had long since been disconnected. the next day i wondered about myself in other peoples eyes, and as the day wore on i stopped. the next time you just can't do a thing with it... shave that shit!

Love It!

First off I gotta tell you that I love your name! I have a son named Jehru so I found the female derivative of it so beautiful. Secondly, I have been pondering the effects of one day having to do the same to my head. I have dreadlocks and know that one day they will have to come off and shaving may just likely be one of those things I will do. I am surrounded by fake beauties in the land of plastic people who spend more time focusing on the outside then the inside and find your courage to do that so wholesome and self appreciative. I think you are awesome and will save your little blog for the day I will do the same!
Namaste!!

YAY!
Looks great! I for one know how freeing it is to just let it all go! I have shaved my head to the skin three times in my life, the most recent two being in the past year! I had dreadlocks and loved them dearly but I needed outer change to reflet the inner transformation I had undergone. And I felt more feminine and more sexy and confident than I have ever felt before, when I was totally bald!
So High five for you mama, you wear it proud!
