I wanted to shave a larger section of my head that is more noticeable.

Enlist a trusty friend to shave your head!

"Being in New York, its a perfect environment to try new hairstyles without any judgement."

"It's like a 2 year old took some scissors to my head."

"As a woman and a South Asian woman, there’s a lot of associations with femininity, to have long, black beautiful hair. You don’t shave your hair, you keep it long."

"To some people, having long, black hair is seen as better and more valuable. But I definitely think if you want to cut your hair, just go and do it. I mean, hair is hair — it will grow back."

"I personally love the way it turned out. I’m not the type of person to shy away from something bold. I finally feel like myself after shaving off my hair."
