Yes, my hair is now officially gone! (Well the ponytail is still in my room, but not attached to my head anymore!). It feels amazing. I have swum without having drippy hair afterwards! My head feels weightless and free and breezy. My neck feels longer. My fuzzy scalp feels great to tough and my hat now velcroes to my head.
It was a wonderful way to do the big shave...last night, a few glasses of wine for courage, my eldest son snipping off the ponytail, wonderful women friends chanting and singing, my auntie and cousin, husband, children and friends all having a turn at playing hairdresser!
Ananda from the ashram said that they believe hair holds the karma of a person, and cutting it all off refreshes the soul. I must say, I feel somehow new, and very ready to start this less hirsute stage of my life..... and quite relieved that I don't have a weird oddball shaped head!
