Having shaved my head utterly greater than half-a-dozen occasions, the spiel about empowerment and being “daring” irritates me. I’ve often solely shaved my head after I’ve had a dandruff situation 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 eliminate the utterly ruined coloured fragments. I needed to see what the salt-and-pepper would appear to be. It took me a great one and a half hour to do that. First I chopped off chunks with scissors after which I simply went over my cranium many times and once more with the trimmer set to 10mm.
I’ve by no means thought-about my “look” earlier than this. However this time, I needed to do it proper. I regarded for articles or weblog posts on-line however most of them had been disappointing to say the least. There was positively no Indian illustration until web page two of the search outcomes and my endurance 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 proud 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 little thing above.
Evaluation
A shaved head makes the highest of the physique / shoulders and so forth. look bulkier and broader. The pinnacle seems a lot smaller with out hair. I would want to deal with that. I’d additionally want to deal with 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 lower and color and style my very own hair and all the time have.
The remainder of the pictures 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 will not be related to the shaved-head look however it’s my very own as nicely. the bracelet is brass that’s gold-plated. My very own buy from Dashia.in. The brooch can be not related to the shaved-head styling however it’s my very own from Khaosphilos, referred to as “Blue-Eyed“.
Make-up
My aim with the make-up was to maintain it female : daring crimson lipstick, which isn’t new for me, however I wasn’t positive how it will work with this hair. I needed full lips and darkish eyebrows and with the bronzer, I needed to make my face seem thinner than traditional. So, bronzer beneath the cheek bones but additionally on the temples and likewise beneath my chin and jawline. I don’t often do that however on this case, I needed to attempt, and I feel it labored. I’d keep away from tremendous darkish lipsticks as a result of at the very 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 shortly and is an issue to use as a result of it ends of flaking fairly shortly. 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 very 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 stability the highest physique trying bulkier or assertion boots, just like the leather-based driving 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 driving 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 strains, basic silhouettes, and impartial colours would work greatest. I’d keep away from brilliant 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 in all my favorite designs from Threadless referred to as Bleeding Coronary heart. I’ve at the very least 4 of those.
For Subsequent Time
A sleeveless prime could be 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 aware of my arms. They be flabby. I’d additionally attempt slimmer and longer danglers for my ears. Other than that, I feel this informal search for an out-and-about day labored simply fantastic. I’m excited to attempt a extra formal look within the subsequent couple of days.
And keep 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.
