Having shaved my head utterly greater than half-a-dozen instances, the spiel about empowerment and being “daring” irritates me. I’ve often solely shaved my head after I’ve had a dandruff challenge or if I really feel that I will be unable to deal with the warmth of North India. This time, I didn’t need to shave it off utterly. I needed to do away with the utterly ruined coloured fragments. I needed to see what the salt-and-pepper would seem like. It took me a superb one and a half hour to do that. First I chopped off chunks with scissors after which I simply went over my cranium time and again and once more with the trimmer set to 10mm.
I’ve by no means thought of my “look” earlier than this. However this time, I needed to do it proper. I appeared for articles or weblog posts on-line however most of them had been disappointing to say the least. There was undoubtedly no Indian illustration until web page two of the search outcomes and my persistence was carrying skinny. I made a decision to experiment and see what would work for me.
Info
I’ve a barely chubby face, so having a shaved head makes it look chubbier.
I’ve a brief neck, which might worsen the chubby look with all my hair gone.
I’ve a barely chubby construct, so my tummy stands out a bit and I don’t have a butt and I even have a slight hunch on my again. I’m additionally not very tall, in order that compounds every part above.
Evaluation
A shaved head makes the highest of the physique / shoulders and so on. look bulkier and broader. The pinnacle seems to be a lot smaller with out hair. I would want to handle that. I’d additionally want to handle eager to make my neck and face and torso seem longer. And no matter I might do to make my silhouette look slimmer.
I shot the above {photograph} as a selfie on my cellphone proper after I had completed the haircut. I reduce and color and style my very own hair and all the time have.
The remainder of the images are additionally self-portraits however shot on a DSLR.
Earrings
I didn’t need to do chunky earrings and I additionally didn’t need to put on small ones. For the reason that aim was to make the face look longer and the neck look longer as nicely, I went with these slim lengthy ones. I’d have gone with even slimmer ones, with out the pearl drop, however I’ve but to complete unpacking and I don’t know the place the remainder of my jewellery is. Lengthy danglers however not touching my shoulders.
I’m carrying gold-plated silver earrings from Amrapali. These are my very own, which I bought a number of years in the past. The ring just isn’t related to the shaved-head look but it surely’s my very own as nicely. the bracelet is brass that’s gold-plated. My very own buy from Dashia.in. The brooch can also be not related to the shaved-head styling but it surely’s my very own from Khaosphilos, known as “Blue-Eyed“.
Make-up
My aim with the make-up was to maintain it female : daring pink lipstick, which isn’t new for me, however I wasn’t certain how it might work with this hair. I needed full lips and darkish eyebrows and with the bronzer, I needed to make my face seem thinner than normal. So, bronzer below the cheek bones but in addition on the temples and in addition below my chin and jawline. I don’t often do that however on this case, I needed to strive, and I feel it labored. I’d keep away from tremendous darkish lipsticks as a result of at the least in my case, they make my lips seem thinner and it’s a extreme look, which I need to keep away from.
Lipstick is a mixture of Nykaa’s Name Me Scarlet and Stila’s Beso ( on Sephora and Amazon). The Beso within the tube dries too rapidly and is an issue to use as a result of it ends of flaking fairly rapidly. To forestall that and nonetheless use the color, I combine it with the Name Me Scarlet pencil. Basis is Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush, which I’ve been utilizing for at the least 4 years – I adore it. Brows have brown forehead powder and I ran a black mascara wand on them as nicely.
Sneakers
Daring sneakers to steadiness the highest physique trying bulkier or assertion boots, just like the leather-based using boots I’m carrying, which make your silhouette longer and thinner. Particularly right here with darkish brown boots on black denims. I’d not enterprise out in flats both. Even when it’s a half-inch heel, when my hair is like this, I would favor a heel.
The using boots are leather-based and had been a present, from 12 years in the past.
Clothes
It’s greatest to maintain your clothes easy and streamlined. Clear traces, basic silhouettes, and impartial colours would work greatest. I’d keep away from vibrant colours or too many colours, which is what I often like. I went with my staple travel-wear : black stretch/skinny denims, tucked in black t-shirt and a black leather-based belt on the denims – sufficient to create a demarcation to make the torso look shorter however not protruding to make the torso look boxier.
Denims are stretch-skinny from Uniqlo. T-shirt is one among my favorite designs from Threadless known as Bleeding Coronary heart. I’ve at the least 4 of those.
For Subsequent Time
A sleeveless high is perhaps a greater thought subsequent time. I really feel that the short-sleeved t-shirt didn’t assist with the broadening of the shoulders. I don’t often put on sleeveless stuff as a result of I’m extraordinarily acutely aware of my arms. They be flabby. I’d additionally strive slimmer and longer danglers for my ears. Aside from that, I feel this informal search for an out-and-about day labored simply high-quality. I’m excited to strive a extra formal look within the subsequent couple of days.
And bear in mind, it’s hair, it grows again. Until you will have baldness within the household, by which case, higher to shave all of it off.
