I admit that I cut my hair AFTER Erykah Badu shaved her head, and was inspired 2 finally do so by HER act. I am not ashamed of that. She is an inspiring artist, and seeing her do that gave me the courage 2 really go against what I was reared 2 believe(a woman's hair is her beauty, and should NEVER be cut) and I freed myself from having 2 carry around a lot of thick hair for awhile. I was DETERMINED not 2 cut my hair when I 1st stopped perming, which is why I wore my hair half-permed, and half-natural. Once I grew tired of having long hair, I wanted 2 cut it, but never did. Finally when Erykah shaved her head, I felt like I could go 4th w/ MY version of that, and release myself of the need 2 have long hair in order 2 feel beautiful. Hey, one day I may cut it even shorter than I originally did, but I do feel freer. What is wrong w/ being influenced by someone else 2 do something that helps U 2 evolve into a better version of U? Emulating or mimicking a celebrity in positive behavior is no different than emulating one's girlfriend when SHE does something U like, so U decide 2 do it 2.
