Cate Blanchett considers baldness

Having already opted to lose her locks a couple of times before, 43 year old Australian actress Cate has said that she is considering doing so once again.

Baldness can be liberating

Though baldness is a somewhat unconventional choice of hairstyle, as Blanchett recently explained: “Shaving off my hair is so liberating. I had to do it once for a film role, but I've done it periodically too… At school it was probably to rebel, but I cut my hair short a few years ago and I'm thinking about doing it again." According to examiner.com, Blanchett’s recent casting in Woody Allen’s new film project has in part influenced her decision. Allen himself requested that Blanchett shave her hair, and due to her positive previous experiences with shaving her hair off, Blanchett agreed.

Women, baldness and choice

A number of women in the public eye have voluntarily shaved their heads in the past, from Irish songstress Sinead O’Connor to Cate Blanchett’s fellow actress Natalie Portman.

However, whilst voluntary baldness can be a great look that makes for a bold fashion statement, involuntary hair loss can be a different matter entirely. Hair loss conditions such as female pattern baldness (or Alopecia Areata) are surprisingly common, and many women experience hair thinning of some degree or another. For those experiencing one of these conditions, the loss of hair can be rather upsetting. Rather than feeling liberated, women with hair loss often feel a loss of control.
