Whats up guys, Glendaly here and todays video is going to be a little bit different from
the things I normally post up.
Most of my videos are definitely fashion related, but I do share a bit about my personal life
and one of the things I do or am open about really is the fact that I have androgenic alopecia.
I will have that video of me shaving bald a year ago annotated right over here and I
will also have a card up here if you'e watching this video via mobile.
I will also have it linked down below incase you want to watch it after you watch this
video.
So the point of todays video is really going to be more of like a reflection of myself
and how I've kind of grown to be who I am as a woman since saving bald a year ago.
I feel like even though 2016 has been a bit of a rough year, I feel like a lot of people
I know feel that way about this year, I feel like spiritually and internally I feel like
I've just learned so much about myself this year and I've really grown a little bit
closer to the woman I've always kind of envisioned myself to be as a grown grown woman
if that makes any sense.
But I'm really grateful for everything that has happened this year because I feel like
it's definitely shaped me to become more of the person I have always imaged myself
being as an adult.
I feel like I'm talking a lot, so I'm going to take a sip of wine and just take
a break.
From here on out, I'm definitely going to start naming off the things I've found have
been benefits of being a baldie.
So the first one is definitely never having to actually spend time doing my hair when I
get ready.
The most maintenance that my head or hair needs is just shaving it off once a week which
takes me roughly like 10 minutes.
That's probably one of the easiest things about life is not having to spend a chunk
of time on my hair.
Because before when I had hair, I think, because I have terrible memory I don't remember how
long I use to do my hair or how long it would take me to do my hair, but I think it would range
between 20 to 45 minutes depending on what I was doing to my hair and I just found that
when I did have hair, I would just work extra hard on it because it was so thin and I wanted
it to be as volumized as possible.
And just not having any hair at all it just feels amazing having to just massage some
oils on my scalp and call it a day.
It's beautiful.
I think one of the things that I consider a blessing since shaving bald is the fact
that my huge insecurities of just not feeling beautiful totally vanished which is like really
insane to think about.
I feel so much more beautiful without hair then with it and I feel like that might sound
kind of strange to people who do have hair.
It's just really powerful and I'm so thankful I decided to finally commit and shave because
I can't even image life being insecure about my beauty.
I honestly just wish every girl in the world could feel beautiful because its such an amazing
feeling.
I feel like I'm just so much more happier because I feel beautiful as well.
it's like I don't need validation from anyone, opposite sex or not to feel like I
am worth of anything.
Like I know I'm worthy, I know I'm beautiful.
To kind of like go along with that I feel like one thing I've also noticed or like
saw more since being a baldie is my actual facial features.
Hair can definitely drown out your facial features especially if you have long hair.
Its why I honestly love whenever I hang out with one of my friends and they end up cutting
their hair short or they have short hair already, I'm just like 'YAS GURL I CAN SEE YO FACE.
I can see them eyes.
I can see them checks.
And you is just glowin'.
Like gurl, that facial structure is on point.'
and that is something I can appreciate.
I feel like another thing I definitely consider a bit of a blessing is the fact that I am
living life against whats considered normal in society.
I've always been a bit of a rebel, I still am a bit of a rebel, I have my moments.
But I feel like, especially something like beauty, being able to show the world 'no
I don't need hair to be beautiful.'
Is just super awesome.
I just really want to give thanks to the internet for making this possible because if it wasn't
for the internet I feel like people who aren't considered normal in society, we wouldn't
be able to flaunt our beauty.
my daughter has really crazy curly hair and a few years back, and I remember when I was
in middle school, all the girls who has hair like that would constantly perm their hair
or straighten their hair to make sure it wasn't so crazy and curly.
That's not considered beautiful, you know.
So being able to see that's whats considered beautiful nowadays through social media and
the internet, it's really insane to think about.
So I just want to give a huge thank you to the internet for being able to give me a platform
and a voice to express this and share this.
I recently did a project with The Baldie Movement, what would I consider it? more like a support
blog for women who are bald for medical reason or by choice.
I basically did a project with the woman who found the baldie movement, her name is Nell.
I will have both her social media and The Baldie Movements social medias linked down
below so you can go & check them out swell.
But I just love the fact that the internet has given so many people the opportunity to
like connect and just mingle together and really create a powerful and impactful movement
such as the Baldie Movement.
I'm super blessed to be able to become a part of that because I live here in NY.
And I'm just excited to see that campaign grow, they're almost at 10k followers on
Instagram which is like super excited so kudos Nell for really working hard & getting there.
Because you really do work super hard & that does not got unnoticed.
But, just things like that.
The fact that we live in an age where we are able to speak up and like change the world
and change society in a way that has never really happened before.
So just living against the norm and making an impactful change in the world is super
dope and it's definitely another blessing I would consider.
Or another benefit that I have gained since being bald.
I would say that the last benefit I have gained so far being a baldie is really showing my
daughter that beauty definitely lies skin deep.
The new thing that my daughter is saying now is 'Kaelynn has long hair.
Daddy has long hair.
& Mommy has forehead.'
which when I first heard that, I died.
But watching her react to the fact that I have no hair has been really interesting and
fun and I'm just really exciting for her to continue growing.
She even tells me all the time that I'm beautiful.
We definitely exchange that.
That's something that I'm really big on.
Especially as a woman.
Giving my daughter that confidence that she deserves and it's just been really great
and a blessing to see her be happy with who she is even though she's only two years
old you can definitely tell that she knows she's beautiful and she knows she's special
and that's something I lacked as a kid and I feel like having alopecia did not help with
that at all.
That's basically all the benefits Ive had so far since being a baldie.
I've only been a baldie for a year but nonetheless I am super excited to keep on living life
as a baldie.
I hope you guys liked this video like I said I know this ones a little bit different compared
to what I have been uploading a lot, as of late on my YouTube.
I just want to give a huge thanks to the Universe and you guys too, I get so much love on my
Instagram and I really want to say thank you for that because you guys definitely give
me a reason to keep going and I want to put more effort & energy into my channel, which
is why I do plan on uploading every other week in the new coming year.
I'm pretty confident I can stay on it if it's every other week.

And with that being said, there is an airplane flying by if you can hear it…I really do
sometimes wish I didn't live in New York City.
There are just moments like this when trains pass by, there are sirens happening and people
are just yelling I'm just like why?
And with that being said, I'll definitely catch you in my next video.
Don't forget to stay smiling, forever and always sending all of my love your way.
Peace out guys.
