If your girlfriend wants to shave her head and you’re not a fan of the idea, don’t panic! As with any relationship issue, the key here is to communicate your desires and try to work out a solution.
At the end of the day though, it’s her decision. Even if you’re not a fan of the look, it’s just a haircut. Hopefully, your relationship is stronger than a hairstyle you don’t like and you can work it out together.
Talk to Your Girlfriend about her Haircut
First off, the fact that your girlfriend didn’t shave her head out of the blue is a good sign. If she’s talking with you about the decision, that means she respects your opinion. When talking about your girlfriend’s haircut, respect the fact that it’s her decision at the end of the day.
Let her know that you like her hair the way it is, but that it’s ok if she does decide to shave her head. This will show her that you respect her decisions. It will also make it much more likely that she takes your opinion to heart.
And, who knows? Maybe you’ll find you like the new look if she does go through with it.
Even if you’re really against her shaving her head, try not to ruminate or blow things out of proportion. Remember that it’s just a haircut, and it will grow back. At the end of the day, if your relationship is strong otherwise, it should be able to withstand a bad haircut or two.
What if Your Girlfriend Shaves her Head without Talking to You?
Now, we’ve been addressing the situation assuming your girlfriend hasn’t shaved her head yet. But, what if she already did without asking you? This is a different situation and may need to be handled a bit differently.
Maybe she thought that you’d like the new look and wanted to surprise you with it. Still, you may feel upset that your girlfriend didn’t include you in this decision.
If so, let her know that you would’ve appreciated a heads-up before she made such a big change to her appearance. She most likely didn’t mean to offend you by shaving your head, so hopefully you can work it out from there.
On the other hand, maybe she shaved her head to intentionally shock you. In this case, there may be some underlying issues in your relationship or her life that need to be addressed. Try to have an open conversation and be mature about the situation. Ideally, you can address any underlying issues at play, and move on from there.
Conclusion
Try not to worry too much about your relationship just because your girlfriend has a haircut you’re not a fan of. Whether it’s a hair cut or lip injections, if your relationship is otherwise strong, there’s no reason to blow this out of proportion.
Of all the issues you could have in a relationship, this is fairly minor. Overall, you should be able to work things out with plenty of open communication and patience!
