I'd like to give my personal experience with hair and how it affects my lifestyle and character. It's amazing how fast hair grows back. Every summer the guys in my family shave their heads completely, in a sort of cleansing ritual. I wasn't thinking so far ahead this summer, and ended up shaving it off just a week before my freshman orientation! I felt shy the entire time. I found it a little difficult making friends during those few days because people thought it was weird for a teenager to not have hair. Many of them thought I was trying to join the military. Quite a first impression. Not only did my girlfriend wholeheartedly disapproved of me shaving my head, but so did many of her friends, which goes to show there are gender-norms in place for guys as well when it comes to hair. On the right is how I look today. I act more confident now that my hair has grown back, and I also find that I gain confidence from not just the hair, but from wearing contact lenses too. Anyways I just wanted to show how much different I look with glasses on and no hair vs hair and contact lenses.
