The Beautiful Kind

A friend of mine told me he has a hair fetish. I said, “Excuse me? Tell me more!” And voilà, an interview was born.

What would you call your fetish? Hair fetish? Cutting fetish? Bald fetish?
Not sure how to answer… All three are correct. Sometimes I just say Bald Women Rock, and let the rest come out later if need be.

When did you first realize this was a turn on for you? Did you have a trigger moment?
I can’t think of a trigger moment, but I have always been fascinated by hair, and haircutting, especially extreme haircuts. I hated getting haircuts as a kid, I found them violating, ha. So, this all being thirty years ago, extreme female haircuts were all the more rare, and even more fascinating to me. It made me wonder “why women don’t get their hair cut as short as some guys do? Cuz they could…” I do know that I thought about this a few years before the first Star Trek came out and Princess Ilia (R.I.P.) became the one of the first public faces of Female Baldness.

What are some of your special interests?
I really like different colors in hair. Unnatural ones like blue, green, are great. I love white hair on women… The contrasts of fake blonde with grown out roots is fun as well, similarly, for me. I have a fond memory of passing a truck where a gal inside had a platinum ponytail, with some pretty outstanding inch long or so dark roots.

Do you like all hair colors/types? Red, curly, afro? Anything special?
Pretty much all, yeah. Big afros are great. Big mops of curls rock as well. In a somewhat similar vein (maybe to me, at least) I like the look of a fried perm.

Do you like braids?
Fuckin’ A.

Do you like wigs?
Fuckin’ A.

Do you like cutting hair yourself, or watching someone else cut hair?
I like them both. The goal is for me to be involved as opposed to a spectator, but being involved means I can’t watch in the way that I could if I was indeed a spectator. And it would bother me to miss out on a particularly good vantage point!

Are you into only female hair or do you like male hair stuff too? For yourself or other men?
I like to watch women shave men’s heads. I like to watch their facial expressions. I like to have women shave my head. As a kid, though I hated having my hair cut, but I did like it when an attractive woman did. (See the French movie, “The Hairdresser’s Husband,” which shows the sensations a boy feels when he has a crush on his lady barber.)

What do you love about the act of hair cutting?
Just about everything… What goes through my head is how long it took these proteins to grow, contrasting with how quickly the hair disappears when it is cut off. I love the sounds of scissors cutting hair. I love watching hair slowly fall after it’s been cut. I love the way falling hair defies gravity just a little bit. Buzzing and/or shaving is better- all the sounds, the textures, the drastic-ness, the striptease nature of the shearing. I love the starkness and curves of the bald or shorn female head- such great curves!

Are you a hairdresser? Why the hell not? If you were, would you be hard all the time?
No, I’m not… I have given it lots of thought, but I would be afraid of
A.) Being hard all the time, as you said, or
B.) The dynamic of employment making me lose my interest in one of my favorite things.

Would you want to cum on a woman’s bald head or rub your dick on it?
I wouldn’t object!

Would you like someone to cut or shave your hair? Would you want to be bald with your female partner?
Yes, yes, and fuck yeah.

A lot of men and women think a woman with long hair is the ultimate in femininity, her crowning glory, and the thought of shaving it all off/bald woman is awful to them. What do you think about that?
I do love long hair as well, which seems contradictory to my interest in seeing it shaved, I realize! I suppose that standard wouldn’t bother me if women with short or no hair were considered as beautiful. While society is coming around pretty quickly on this, there could be a lot more acceptance.

Here I go with Britney Spears, sorry… but the moronic media shitstorm surrounding her shaving proves how much further we have to go before bald is considered a legitimate women’s hair (head?) style. Natalie Portman, Sigourney Weaver, and Demi Moore were revered for their bravery and beauty, and while they’re certainly different “artists” than Britney, it was still interesting to note the media response.

For one thing, Britney smiled throughout the entire process, yet media talked about how sad she must have been. One of the asshole cable news channels talked of her “freaky new look”- and I wrote to let them know how mean that was to women who are bald from chemo or alopecia, or yes, those that shave their heads because it looks good.

Hell, days after that, numerous radio stations had promos, giving free stuff away to women who would come in and get “the Britney look”- and women of all stripes walked in and out smiling, some of them sacrificing very long tresses in the process. Weeks after the Britney incident, the [organization name removed upon request] charities proceeded, and many women sacrificed that same crowning glory willingly- some were even sorority girls, who one would think would be the last type of woman who would shave her hair. I think over 2000 women shaved their heads for that charity last year.

I do feel that acceptance is coming around fairly quickly- not quickly enough, however. I have a friend who shaves her head, due to the extreme hair loss of her trichotillomania, and this limits the type of work she can get.

Female head shaving also brings up thoughts of chemo- and some women forgo treatment just so they don’t lose their hair. It’s sad to me that beauty standards have women taking that approach.

If a woman is getting her hair cut/shaved, do you prefer her to be freaking out about it, crying, or excited/happy about it? Is the nervousness behind getting a drastic cut part of the turn on/fun?
Yeah, I’d say the nerves involved are a part of the turn on. All of those emotions that you mentioned are enjoyable for me to watch. (Let me also say that I absolutely do not condone cutting anyone’s hair without their permission.) I do like it also when a woman is perfectly stoic while getting her hair shaved. Actually, that might be the most interesting to me- not “What will everyone think?” not “What have you done to me?!” not “WHEEEEEE!”- but just another day, just another haircut.
