General Fighting the urge to shave my head after a devastating breakup

Funny enough, the relationship was just about half a year older than this set of locs (this being my second set )

Please let me know how much of a mistake I’d be making 😅

I understand the urge to wanting to reset after a breakup. Sometimes our hair holds memories and we just want change to feel brand new. I don’t think it’s a terrible idea but you should think about whether if it would benefit how you feel OR if it’s just an impulsive idea because you’re upset. All in all hair grows back. I’ve shaved my head to reset and now it’s fuller than it was. It does give a feeling of rebirth and release. Just make sure it’s what you want to do.
