Since the whole point of this blog was to question and challenge some social norms, this is the ideal video.

Shaving my head - getting completely bald

From the description (translated to English from Google):

As many of you know, I work in oncology and see women with this hairstyle every day, which is no longer unusual for me personally. What I want to aim for with my new look is to create awareness among you that beauty is possible with every hairstyle, always comes from within and is always in the eye of the beholder anyway. I would really like to see this haircut become much more normal among us women and not necessarily be associated with serious illness. So that one day it won't really be a big deal anymore to go to your hairdresser and say: "Getting naked please!"
