A new bold and buzzed era is currently underway.
For Anna Yum, a 23-year-old based in Brooklyn, who shaved her head last October and again this fall, getting a buzz cut was a way to redefine herself away from her hair. “Growing up, I was always known for having long hair,” she says. “It felt like it was my main trait that defined me and I hated it.” Anna’s Aunt applied a permanent Japanese straightener treatment to her hair when she was eight, which chemically-altered her hair for five years.
Anna says she was nervous to shave her head at first because she worried how other people would view her. By her second shave, it felt “natural and intuitive”. “I think people are shaving their heads more now post-pandemic because there has been a lot of individual time to self-reflect,” she says. “We live in a society that is constantly plugged in and connected and that in itself is extremely overwhelming to digest.
While there’s no denying that the shaved head has undergone a rebrand — from being a political statement, to a key moment in Britney’s public downfall, to a sign of pandemic boredom, to one of the key hair trends this year — it’s little surprise that out of a global crisis came the rise of a hairstyle that to so many signals the fresh start we’re all collectively yearning for.
