Having shaved my head fully greater than half-a-dozen instances, the spiel about empowerment and being “daring” irritates me. I’ve often solely shaved my head after I’ve had a dandruff problem or if I really feel that I will be unable to deal with the warmth of North India. This time, I didn’t need to shave it off fully. I needed to do away with the fully ruined coloured fragments. I needed to see what the salt-and-pepper would appear like. It took me a very good one and a half hour to do that. First I chopped off chunks with scissors after which I simply went over my cranium many times 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 needed to do it proper. I appeared for articles or weblog posts on-line however most of them had been disappointing to say the least. There was undoubtedly 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.

I’ve a barely chubby construct, so my tummy stands proud 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 every thing above.

I shot the above {photograph} as a selfie on my telephone proper after I had completed the haircut. I reduce and color and style my very own hair and at all times have.

Earrings
I didn’t need to do chunky earrings and I additionally didn’t need to put on small ones. For the reason that aim 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 nevertheless it’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 nevertheless it’s my very own from Khaosphilos, referred to as “Blue-Eyed“.
Make-up
My aim 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 could work with this hair. I needed full lips and darkish eyebrows and with the bronzer, I needed to make my face seem thinner than regular. So, bronzer underneath the cheek bones but additionally on the temples and likewise underneath my chin and jawline. I don’t often do that however on this case, I needed to strive, and I feel it labored. I might keep away from tremendous darkish lipsticks as a result of not less than in my case, they make my lips seem thinner and it’s a extreme look, which I need 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 not less than 4 years – I adore it. Brows have brown forehead powder and I ran a black mascara wand on them as effectively.
Footwear
Daring sneakers to stability the highest physique wanting bulkier or assertion boots, just like the leather-based driving 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 like a heel.
The driving boots are leather-based and had been a present, from 12 years in the past.
Clothes
It’s greatest to maintain your clothes easy and streamlined. Clear strains, traditional silhouettes, and impartial colours would work greatest. I might keep away from vibrant 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 referred to as Bleeding Coronary heart. I’ve not less than 4 of those.
For Subsequent Time
A sleeveless prime is perhaps a greater concept 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 acutely aware of my arms. They be flabby. I might additionally strive slimmer and longer danglers for my ears. Aside from that, I feel this informal search for an out-and-about day labored simply superb. I’m excited to strive a extra formal look within the subsequent couple of days.
And bear in mind, it’s hair, it grows again. Until you may have baldness within the household, by which case, higher to shave all of it off.
