The Hidden Message Behind Doja Cat Shaving Her Head

Doja Cat's decision to shave her head was quite easy to understand:

The simple answer was explained by Doja Cat through an Instagram video. She doesn’t like having hair, and she’s never liked having hair.

The article goes on about whether women shaving their heads will become normalized:

For the women who have been proudly and beautifully rocking the shaved head, Doja Cat’s reveal may not have caught your attention. Yet for women who have tied their identity, their sense of self-worth, and beauty to how long and lush their hair is, the superstar’s act is a reminder to let it all go. What is most important is how we feel about ourselves. Doja has made it clear that she feels free without having to worry about her hair.

Hopefully, as the years go on, and talk about hair becomes normalized, a woman shaving their head will be a welcomed act just like a woman deciding to get highlights or braids put in.

We can applaud and admire Doja Cat for this brave move, not for simply removing her hair but for treating it to be as normal as buying a new pair of shoes. She wasn’t worried about what others thought. Instead, she was more concerned about having a shapely bald head, which she does.
