Reposted: We love symbols. It's why physical collars are so omnipresent. Hair is a symbol. I can't count the number of discussions I've had about how to deal with hair in the scene- usually removing everything below the neck and growing out everything above it. In the het scene as well, femininity is associated with long flowing hair. The het scene often exagerrates typical feminine physical traits- corsets for the waist, high heels, etc. To remove that symbol can be extremely powerful exactly as denying and controlling orgasm is for so many. In some ways it is even more so because you can be forced to show it in vanilla public and know that it is exposed to everyone that you are stripped of some part of you which you may have deeply associated with your femininity, with your self-identity. A lot of slaves feel sacrifice is an important part of their submission. I used to have a huge thing about my hair (which can be read here: ) but these days, I just like it to look pretty and be easily maintained- both above and below the neck. So I rarely shave anywhere, and get a nice thorough cut once or twice a year. Since I no longer have serious emotional attachments to my hair, I'm fine with cutting it off. On the other hand, I would find it very difficult if I were told I couldn't wash my hair, brush my hair, or cut the ends off regularly to keep it looking nice. Since I don't consider bald to be ugly, I would still maintain my sense of self if I were shaved. But since I do consider "unkempt" to be ugly, it would be much harder to be forced into public looking that way. And, like any symbol, you can make it into what you want. For some it's a trial to go through together as a bonding experience. http://www.collarchat.com/m_850897/mpage_1/key_britney/tm.htm#851000 britney haircut http://www.collarchat.com/m_767655/mpage_1/key_shave%252Chead/tm.htm#767655 Forced head and body shave http://www.collarchat.com/m_431753/mpage_3/key_shave%252Chead/tm.htm#657539 shaved heads on women http://www.collarchat.com/m_127985/mpage_1/key_shave%252Chead/tm.htm#127985 Would you shave your head?
