All About Hair

The above statement is very apt for this brave girl Payel who shaved her head as she wanna do it from long. This one thing changed her perspective and she has seen a new side of herself. And also she is enjoying her new look too.

Read her head shaving experience in her own words.

"This is Payel. I'm 19 and studying in Bangalore. The idea of going bald came like 2 months ago. There's no specific reason. I just thought to give it a try. I got it shaved in a salon and my dad was with me. I was little scared while getting my head shaved as if my scalp gets a cut or anything, but then after sometime I got used to it. It felt so light and the wind was like so chilled directly touching my scalp and when I saw myself on the mirror I felt cute 🙈.

Well, I only told the barber to use razor, he asked me whether trimmer or razor. As my friends knew that I'll be doing it, I got only the positive reactions and none of my relatives saw me yet.

Best compliment 🤔🤔 I don't know. But I loved it when someone tells "I look even more beautiful after shaving the head because before shaving my head I used to get lots of compliments for my hair".

I have has this habit of putting the front locks behind the ear 😂 and I am missing that. I feel like very light head.

Well, going bald isn't something bad. There are lot of people who take it negatively. But there's nothing negative in that. Be it in any age, if you can own it, you'll rock 😊 I feel so good after shaving my head. This is a new perspective 😁 for me and I thoroughly enjoyed this phase in my life with my bald head".

"I am Lakshmi Venkataraman from Chennai, a typical Madrasi girl studied Visual Communication and now currently working as a program producer in a TV channel.

It was just like any other day I was thinking and I got a question in mind "Have I done anything to the society or the people??""

Then this immediate thought struck my mind "I should do something for giving a smile on someone's face at least for a day". Then I gave a thought on donating my hair. In the same time, I came across a campaign about hair donation. I inquired them about donating my hair. As part of their campaign, they recommended me to Tony and Guy. The hair was handed over to the Doctor from the campaign who accompanied with me. I was a bit scared when they chopped off my lovely hair. Many thoughts were running through my mind like "What will others comment about my new look and all". But then I simply thought it's for a good thing and it's nothing wrong at all to do it.

I feel more confident and also I felt like I have improved myself after this transformation.

Coming to the compliments and comments - "People of my age thought it looked pretty on me. But others mocked at it. The best compliment is from my Mom. She said that I looked even younger and I've gone back to my childhood days as it was quite short".

My family as always supported me.

Before and After Hair Donation Pics

"I’m Sneha, I’m doing BDS. I love to experiment with makeup and fashion. Though the idea behind my hair donation doesn’t sound very inspiring, I was going through a very hard time back then I wanted a major change in all walks of life & this hair donation has surely made a big difference in myself. It has improved my confidence levels drastically.

I got a message from one of those hair donation pages on Instagram,asking if I was interested in donating my hair. At the same time I wanted to get a short haircut. So I thought why shouldn’t I donate my hair instead of letting it go to the bin.

I had that idea of cutting my hair for more than 2 months, but  my parents agreed on one note that they would decide the length of my hair that had to be cut.

I was assigned a makeover consultant by the people on that insta page, they had some link with Toni n guy. So I was asked to come to Toni n guy Teynampet where I got my hair cut. My mom accompanied me. When I came out after getting my haircut she was a bit disappointed because she gave me permission to cut my hair only till shoulder length, but then I got a short multilayered bob, but later she herself started liking it because it suited me.

I don’t tell people I donated my hair very often, because that wasn’t my thought behind getting the haircut right.It’s my mom who says that to relatives. Don’t even get me started about the stares, right from my maid to my cousins my age mostly people gave me that typical look which aunties & grannies give when they notice something different in us. But the moment they hear it’s for a good cause their faces change. Mostly people have been proud of me for what I did.

I felt like I finally let go of something that was burdening me. When it comes to my appearance mostly people say, ”nice, it suits you”. But my brother told “you seem like you didn’t grow after 8th grade”.
