Sometimes we feel bored with the monotonous style of our hair. One way that we can do is to cut our hair with the other models. In addition, one other way is to form a graphics / line in our hair. Before we formed the graphics / line in our hair, of course, we must give up all this process the experts (a trusted salon) so the results can be good, because this process requires precision. After that, specify the desired pattern, a reference could be from the Internet or magazines. But to make the graphics / line in our hair so we have to shave our hair (leaving at least 1 cm) for graphics / line that is formed can be seen clearly.

ST. BALDRICK'S FOUNDATION

St. Baldrick's Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit public charity, headquartered in Monrovia, California and hosts events across the globe. Events have taken place in all 50 US states and 28 countries. The Foundation raises money for childhood cancer research primarily through head-shaving events. Volunteers, sponsored by family, friends and employers, shave their heads in solidarity with kids who typically lose their hair during cancer treatment.

The concept of St. Baldrick's was devised in 1999 by three Irish-American reinsurance executives from New York City, and grew from a single event to a nationwide effort in a relatively short period of time, now known as the world's first and largest volunteer fundraiser for childhood cancer research. The founders decided to turn their St. Patrick's Day party into a benefit for pediatric oncology research by shaving their heads, thereby showing solidarity with children undergoing chemotherapy treatment. Therefore, the name of the Foundation is a play on the words Bald and Patrick - going bald on St. Patrick’s Day, led to St. Baldrick’s.

Since 2000, the St. Baldrick's Foundation has raised more than $90.6 million, hosted over 3,400 head-shaving events and shaved over 144,900 heads, including over 12,600 women, in 50 U.S. states and 28 countries.

St. Baldrick's Foundation became a non-profit organization in 2005 and makes grants to research organizations that meet stringent criteria and share the Foundation’s commitment to fiscal responsibility and emphasis on research. St. Baldrick’s research grants help fill crucial funding gaps at medical institutions where children are treated for cancer, ensuring the finest care for every child. Since 2005, St. Baldrick's has awarded 76 Fellow and Scholar awards, to develop the childhood cancer research experts of tomorrow.

Britney Spears shaved her hair because she was simply sick and tired of the way she was being handled and sold by the music industry, as well as the nonstop attention from the media. Britney Spears at the time was going through a very messy divorce, was under intense public scrutiny, and it seems reasonable to believe that she simply snapped, albeit in a very dramatic way. It could also be said that this was one of the most public manifestations of a slow mental and emotional downslide for Britney.

2. Demi Moore

Demi Moore shaved her hair to act in its role in the movie "G.I. Jane" produced in 1997. Demi Moore plays the role of Jordan O’Neill, a woman that is trying to make it into the Navy Seals to show that they should open it up to both sexes. She is going through all of the hardships that the guys are, plus the people in charge are trying to get her to quit as fast as possible and pulling stunts just to make her do so. She sticks through it the entire way and earns the respect of all who are there and that know her story.

FASHION MAGAZINE SHOCKED BY BALD WOMEN PHOTOS

Milan/Paris-based photographer Enzo Dal Verme (Vanity Fair, l’Uomo Vogue, Marie Claire, Grazia, Elle, etc.) has shot a series of portraits of bald women. He met them in New York and collected their stories too. Some of them have alopecia, some have been through chemotherapy, others simply like being bald. They got together with the idea of redefining the concept of beauty. Men can be blond, brown, red, white and... bald. Why not women?

When the photographer showed the pictures to his clients, every single magazine that saw the story (about twenty) refused to publish it for the very same reason: those pictures might clash with the feminine ideal upheld by advertisers. Well, actually one of them had a different problem...

Anyway, time passed and the photographer kept trying with other magazines. No way to publish the story. “Sorry, but I am not going to give up”, he says. “If mainstream magazines have a preference for Barbie-fied women, I will publish everything on the net.”

Now everyone can see the pictures and read the interviews on his blog: “Meeting them has been a privilege for me, I want other people to be inspired by them. After all, their point is not just about bald women. The courage to be oneself is something that concerns everyone”.

Dreadlocks attached to the children in the area of Dieng (Central Java, Indonesia) is considered sacred. Dreadlocks are not as a fashion that mimics the style of artist Bob Marley, but it is a natural phenomenon that appeared mysteriously in the region. Communities in this region believe that the dreadlocked kids are a gift from the gods, so they will feel grateful if one child or their family members have dreads.

CHINESE MEN HAIRSTYLE IN 17TH CENTURY

Men's hair styles in China in the 17th century have unique characteristics. The most prominent of these hair styles are at the front of the hair that was shaved off and the rest of the hair braided into a long ponytail, or queue. The ponytail was never to be cut for it would justify execution as treason.

Although the hair style is actually for the men, but women also can adopt the hair style like this. Hair style like this combination of long hair and bald. In the present time, it never hurts to follow women's hair styles man hair style, it all depends on how our perspective.

HEAD SHAVE IN BASHA MIAO VILLAGE

Basha is a very special and old Miao Ethnic village and is virtually untouched in any way by modernization. Basha residents still live in their wooden houses, practice centuries-old customs and have their own unique beliefs.

The village is perched on a hill, 7.5 kilometers from Congjiang. Legends say that Basha's ancestors immigrated from heartland China to this isolated mountainous region over 2,000 years ago.

The village has a multitude of Diaojiaolou (a traditional Miao structure built on wooden stakes). When seen from afar, the village consists of layer upon layer of moss covered bark roofs. 

Scattered around the villages' open spaces and hillside is another wooden structure commonly called "rafts". They are used to dry un-husked rice.

Don't be alarmed, but the Basha people is the only tribe that is allowed to carry guns.

Like men of the Imperial Dynasties, most Basha men-folk still wear their hair long. As little children, Basha boys, like girls, have to keep their hair until they are 16 years old. The Adult Ceremony is when the boy becoming a man is held and he is allowed to decide whether to keep his long hair. The Adult ceremony is held to have a young man's head shaved or to keep his hair which is twisted and coiled atop the head.

HARAJUKU HAIRSTYLE

Harajuku hair style is one of the many hair styles preferred by young people today. Characteristic of the harajuku hair style is straight hair and bangs. Also Harajuku hairstyles too much use of dyes. They dye their hair with colors that stand out. But keep in mind that there is a kind of facial characteristics that are less suitable when paired with this hairstyle.

Harajuku is a place name from a small area in Tokyo, Japan. Precisely in the area around Harajuku Station. A station near Sibuya. Since that Harajuku is a favorite hangout for young kids who look unique and quirky. They are free to express and dress up the inspiration drawn from the Japanese animation character.

TATTOO IN HEAD WOMEN

Tattoo art is one way by inserting indelible ink into the dermis layer of the skin to change the pigment for decorative or other reasons. Tattoo much preferred by people who love the beauty and art. Tattoo much done in some parts tubug, for example in the hands, feet, back and forth. Some people even make tattoos on their heads. There's even a woman who dared to make tattoos on their heads. Their motivation varies, in which most of these women want to look different from the others. Before making tattoos on the head, of course, the hair on the head must be shaved off first. Requires great courage to do this, especially in women. Women who dare it is women who really are sure to make tattoos on their heads.

PUNK GIRL HAIRSTYLE

Punk fashion is the clothing, hairstyles, cosmetics, jewelry, and body modifications of the punk subculture. Punk style is mostly conducted by men, but not infrequently also the women who embrace the punk style. For some people, a girl with punk style identical with that "bad girl", but all was not necessarily true, it all depends on how our perspective. Typical punk hairstyle is the hair that stands out the middle, on the side was shaved off and then spared the middle to later be made up to the top with hairspray.

“Punk is: the personal expression of uniqueness that comes from the experiences of growing up in touch with our human ability to reason and ask questions; a movement that serves to refute social attitudes that have been perpetuated through willful ignorance of human nature; a process of questioning and commitment to understanding that results in self-progress, and through repetition, flowers into social evolution; a belief that this world is what we make of it, truth comes from our understanding of the way things are, not from the blind adherence to prescriptions about the way things should be; the constant struggle against fear of social repercussions.” (Greg Graffin).

COPING WITH HAIR LOSS FOR WOMEN

Losing hair can be something "scary" for most people. For men, may not be too problematic because it is a common occurrence. But for women, the problem could be a "catastrophe". Women had always wanted to look pretty (which is surely a nice hair too).

Most people have heard of the men’s hair loss treatment called Rogaine. Were you aware that a version of Rogaine for women is also available? It is officially called Minoxidil. Minoxidil, according to some research, may actually be more effective in treating women’s hair loss than Rogaine is for men’s. This drug, which is applied to the head topically, works by stimulating your follicles, causing the regrowth of hair. This is the only drug that has been approved by the FDA for hair growth. Well, men do have a wide variety of hats but really how many of those hats really hide the bald spot? I see men everyday who just toss on the first hat they see, usually a ball cap. Women can use just about any hat and simply call it fashion. Can you pull off a derby? Well what are you waiting for? Ever considered a top hat? That’s a little risky but you can probably pull it off! How about a beret? That’s right you go girl! Why not have fun with it? What better time to accessorize.

Tend to your hair. Some women are simple too rough on their hair. They dye it frequently, they put an exorbitant amount of product in it, they use lousy brushes and heat-these are all factors that can add to your hair loss.

It may be hard to fathom, some women are able to totally intercept the hair loss issues by following good hair care methods for their hair types. Discuss with your beautician your hair type and the most excellent way to care for it. Make sure to pamper your scalp frequently! A pampered scalp is a delighted scalp. A delighted scalp is more disposed to grow the hair you want to grow! 

Hair loss among women used to be an inappropriate topic. Now, there are countless antidotes. Indeed, there are many options for remedying hair loss.

Every woman will have to find her own way to deal with her hair loss. For some that will be with medication. For others it will involve lifestyle changes. For some it may be as easy as switching shampoos. Speak with your doctor is you require assistance in finding the most excellent way to cope with the hair loss you are experiencing.
