Having shaved my head fully greater than half-a-dozen occasions, the spiel about empowerment and being “daring” irritates me. I’ve often solely shaved my head once I’ve had a dandruff subject or if I really feel that I will be unable to deal with the warmth of North India. This time, I didn’t wish to shave it off fully. I wished to do away with the fully ruined coloured fragments. I wished to see what the salt-and-pepper would appear like. It took me an excellent 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-about my “look” earlier than this. However this time, I wished to do it proper. I seemed for articles or weblog posts on-line however most of them have been disappointing to say the least. There was positively no Indian illustration until web page two of the search outcomes and my persistence was sporting skinny. I made a decision to experiment and see what would work for me.

Information
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 the whole lot above.

Evaluation
A shaved head makes the highest of the physique / shoulders and many others. look bulkier and broader. The top seems to be a lot smaller with out hair. I would wish to handle that. I might additionally want to handle desirous 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 telephone 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 images are additionally self-portraits however shot on a DSLR.

Earrings
I didn’t wish to do chunky earrings and I additionally didn’t wish to put on small ones. Because the objective was to make the face look longer and the neck look longer as effectively, I went with these slim lengthy ones. I might 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 sporting gold-plated silver earrings from Amrapali. These are my very own, which I bought a number of years in the past. The ring is just not related to the shaved-head look but it surely’s my very own as effectively. 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 but it surely’s my very own from Khaosphilos, known as “Blue-Eyed“.

Make-up
My objective with the make-up was to maintain it female : daring purple lipstick, which isn’t new for me, however I wasn’t positive how it will work with this hair. I wished full lips and darkish eyebrows and with the bronzer, I wished to make my face seem thinner than ordinary. So, bronzer beneath the cheek bones but in addition on the temples and in addition beneath my chin and jawline. I don’t often do that however on this case, I wished to attempt, and I feel it labored. I might keep away from tremendous darkish lipsticks as a result of no less than in my case, they make my lips seem thinner and it’s a extreme look, which I wish 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 stop 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 no less than 4 years – I find it irresistible. Brows have brown forehead powder and I ran a black mascara wand on them as effectively.

Footwear
Daring sneakers to steadiness the highest physique trying bulkier or assertion boots, just like the leather-based using boots I’m sporting, which make your silhouette longer and thinner. Particularly right here with darkish brown boots on black denims. I might 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 have been a present, from 12 years in the past.

Clothes
It’s finest to maintain your clothes easy and streamlined. Clear strains, basic silhouettes, and impartial colours would work finest. I might keep away from shiny 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 certainly one of my favorite designs from Threadless known as Bleeding Coronary heart. I’ve no less than 4 of those.

For Subsequent Time
A sleeveless high is likely to 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 might 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 positive. 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. Except you will have baldness within the household, during which case, higher to shave all of it off.
