While not a hard rule, I personally prefer my slave's head to be shaved save for a topknot wherever possible. I like for them to look in the mirror and be reminded of me. If it interferes with their occupation, I refrain from it, and a slave who comes to me with a long head of hair will likely get to keep it, because I know what trauma it causes others. I have been shaving my own for a very, very long time, and when a close friend's son committed suicide, I cut my long topknot at the scalp, gave her my hair at the wake, and went bald for a year in mourning. For myself, a greater punishment would be being forced to grow hair. I shave it because I loathe the sensation of hair growing from my scalp. As a child, I would pick sores on my scalp from it. My scalp feels as if my hair is constantly being pulled once the hair gets to about an inch in length, and I feel utterly filthy, unable to get clean no matter how I wash myself.
