Baldness

Why do people go bald? Some might say it is a fashion statement, they are doing it to create a spectacle or just to look tough. But is it something more. I myself have had long hair for several years before coming to MUWCI after being here a year I cut it of. I actually waited till I got home, but that was more because I didn't want my friends at home to think, “ohh you changed so much after going to India”. I cut my hair of for more practical reasons. I had lice, so that was the easiest thing to do. I liked my image of being a bit different, looking hippie-ish and it also worked quite well with the girls with the long hair. However since coming here I have gone into a state of there is no reason to try and hide all my bad sides, because they will shine through anyway. Another reason that I liked the long messy hair of mine, was because it gave me a look of not trying too hard. Even though I would try hard to look good, I would always have the look that said I don't care about what others think, even though I did care a lot. The baldness is here in many ways liberating, because you can't make the hair look better or worse by adding gel or whatever. So you just look as you look. I think this is a reason that many of the MUWCI girls also do this. To be liberated from having to look good all the time, because you just don't. There are of course people that would argue that girls look as good without their hair, but the general consensus is the opposite.
Baldness is a very independent look. It says, I don't care how other people think I look, especially for girls. Strong independent women do not need their feminine long hair to look good. However ironically enough you often see these strong independent women, not girls, where scarfs and bigger earrings tan they ever did before.
I was thinking if I started a trend, but no MUWCI has a tradition of girls going bald. And what better place to do it than in India on the top of a mountain where we live side by side and there is a limit of 200 different people, so everyone is forced to speak to each other. I myself loves this fact that I can be ugly and not care, but my question arises am I strong enough to do it back home.
