The woman’s hair is her crowning glory. This is why most women pay extra attention to their hair whether long or short. If there is one thing women compete with each other for, it has to be the length of hair. But with the bald hair trend, more ladies seem to care less.
It takes a bold lady to go bald. Bald hair has become acceptable. Formally, it was associated with women with cancer. In recent times, it has become a bold fashion statement. It has several advantages. One is that it makes the lady look younger.Another is a bald lady has less things to worry about. She does not bother about the next hair-do. It is also very cost-effective. A bad hair day is far from her. She can rock her bald hair in and out of her home the same way. She only needs to take care of her hair with regular shampooing and conditioning then brushing or combing.
Society is learning to accept the bald hair trend. This does not spare side-talks that the bald hair lady might be broke to have gone bald. Some people believe those rocking bald hair are going the cheap route to avoid spending money on their hair. Other think it is masculine and that such ladies are competing with the men folks. Yet some others believe it drives men away. Since some men love to play with a lady’s hair, with no hair in sight, it leaves more to the imagination.
More celebrities are adopting the bald hair trend. In fact, it has become their trademarks. When we mention bald hair geng, Danai Gurira( for her movie role in Black Panther), Media personality, Nancy Isime, American model, Amber Rose, American singer, Tamar Braxton, Media personality, Wana Udobang, amongst others are happily in the bald hair geng.
‘I am not my hair’-That is message is that the bald hair geng is passing across. They have embraced freedom and defined feminity in their own terms.
