I go bald by choice. Although my hair is thinning, I can still grow it out. Back when I noticed the thinning, I didn’t try anything to hold onto my hair, but I did think, “Oh boy, I’m getting older.”

I always had very tight but soft curls. In middle school and high school I varied between short cuts, mini afros and corn rolled styles...but I started shaving my head when I was in highschool out of laziness -- I didn’t want to bother having to take care of my hair.

Now I love my look! I’ve stuck with the shaved style because of aesthetics and I definitely won’t go back.
