I’ve used my hair as a coping strategy my whole life as it has always been the one thing I could control. I’ve hid behind it and I’ve let it define me. If I’m having a bad hair day then I feel hideous but, if my hair looks nice, then I feel more attractive. My face hasn’t changed, just my hair has and I’m sick of it. I want to show people how your hair isn’t you, it is part of you yes but it’s not the be all and end all. 

I will be documenting the stages I go through when I’ve shaved it. That is to hopefully make those who haven’t got a say in whether they get to keep their hair or not feel more confident and less anxious about the dramatic change. This will all take place on my twitter as well as the discussion of how much hair effects us all.
