- Mohawks are cool
- I have a face like a homemade pie. While my face says, "Howdy. Tell me all about you", my soul cries out for silence and solitude. Anything that helps me to look even a little intimidating aids in my continuing battle against small talk.
- I don't like being noticed. And yes, I do see how antithetical a mohawk seems. But stay with me. I feel like shaving 2/3 of my head says, "I'm not really trying to be pretty, so don't feel like you need to pay attention to what I'm doing."
- I've wanted a mohawk since I was six. A name casts a shadow over my childhood...Mr T
- I really thought it would stop the catcalling. Nope. It didn't. Now I look daring and adventurous and potentially great in bed.
- My hair has been the bane of my existence for as long as I can remember. The less of it the better.
- Millie Bobbie Brown from Stranger Things. I was as obsessed with that show as everyone else. I read everything about it that I found online, including an interview with Millie Bobbie Brown, and a video of her shaving her head. Pretty Hurts by Beyonce was playing over the video and that song always makes me think of how easy it is to get fixated on appearances.
- Whenever I'm frustrated I scream, "Ugh! I'm just going to shave my head!" Finally I got up the nerve to do it.
- I kept running into this really cool woman nearly everyday, at a different place each time, and she had recently shaved her head. And when I said that I would never have the guts she said in a very Yoda-like way, "It's just hair. It grows back."
- My buddy Thy kept egging me on. She shaved her head years ago and loved it.
- My head feels groovy and I knew it would. It's a little stubbly but also kind of gummy like freshly shaved legs.
- I'm always hot. Less hair more surface area available to cooling winds.
- I turned 40 and I can't afford a sports car or young lover.
