We, as a society have finally started breaking social norms and stereotypes regardless of being a boy or a girl. We’ve seen females riding heavy bikes on roads to flying planes between high-ranged mountains. It’s something we all should be very proud of!
However, when such steps or actions are being taken by girls specially, it turns into some serious dramatic shizz where everyone’s like “haw-hayee”, astaghfarr”, “Jahanummi larkiyann”, “Yeh humara muashraa kis taraf jaraha haii?” “Qayamat kareeb hai” and a lot more. This sounds very upsetting and shows how we as a society lack behind in acceptance and tolerance. But, this does not mean we stop trying rather, we should bring one another up and show our love and support to every action being taken in our country.
Anyhow, recently, a university student, Areej Zaka from Islamabad shared her experience on how she chopped all her hair off last month and went on about how it’s the coolest thing she’s ever done!
Here’s the thread that she began on Twitter:
So i shaved my head last month. Yes, you read that right. And here's why it was THE COOLEST THING I'VE EVER DONE :

She then began by telling us all the benefits of not having to do the daily ritualistic hair routine we all do when we have to do our hair:
I don't have to worry about doing my hair anymore. No more standing infront of the mirror for so long just to get the perfect look (which I still couldn't get most of the time)
— Z. (@CreepoPotato) June 17, 2018
She further adds on how she does not have to waste extra time and efforts for washing, drying and straightening her hair:
Don't need to set aside time for washing, drying , straightening and then doing my hair while going somewhere.

Hmmm, might take this into consideration…
Hair don't keep coming in my face when its windy and I can keep the car's window down without ruining the style

Oh! We surely want to find out what we’re missing out on, go on please…
Watching people's reactions is always fun ? their initial thought is somehow always cancer ¿? And then half of them give my sympathetic looks lol guys YOU DONT KNOW WHAT YOURE MISSING OUT ON

Must be so relaxing, so many people willing to give a massage on the head! Yaasss
The new hair are so soft, I can't keep myself from touching them all the time! And it's not just me, everyone's tempted to pat my head, it's just that satisfying ? ( I finally know why pets find it so pleasing for us to pat them ????)

More power to you, guuurl!
So girls (guys too), don't let anyone tell you there's anything you can't do. Because there ISN'T. It's all about stepping out of your comfort zone, believing in yourself and staying confident!
— Z. (@CreepoPotato) June 17, 2018
And lastly, this is how her followers reacted:
DO IT!! It's such an amazingg experience, you wont regret it
