flashback
'I was right these are just like the ones at the temple.' I told myself as I stood crying as I watched as the hair on the floor dissolved before my eyes. After the hair was gone I shut off the refresher and walked back to the sink. Once there I picked up the shaving cup and looked at it.
The instructions on the side of the cup said to add a little water to the cup before use.
I turned on the water, then I removed the brush before I added the water to the cup.
Once I had added the water to the cup, I slowly took off my shirt and laid it on the counter. Looking around I found a small towel, that I laid on my shoulders before looking in the mirror. The face that looked back at me, was one of a scared little girl.
I shook my head then softly said "Calm down Barriss, there's nothing to be scared about." as my heart thundering in my chest.
I looked away from the mirror as I picked up the cup and started to slowly placing the brush in the cup. I felt my hands shake as I slowly turned the brush in the cup, causing the soup to foam.
As the foam started to overfill the cup I took the brush out, slowly started to brush the foam into the remaining hair on my head.
Once that was done, I picked up the razor and slowly raised it up to my head. I carefully ran the blade across my head.
After a few strokes, I lowered the blade away from my head. I turned on the water in the sink and carefully rinsed the blade off before I inspected the blade to see if it was getting dull. Noticed that it wasn’t I continued shaving my head clean of hair.
I looked into the mirror as I removed the towel from my shoulders. 'Oh my!' I cried out in my mind as I felt the tears race down my face. I wiped away my tears as I reached up and touched my bare skull for the first time.
I ran my fingers across the smooth skin, as I lightly let my tears fall. 'What have I done?' I asked myself looked in the mirror again.
Looking down and then around the room, I noticed the mess that I had made from shaving my head. 'I best clean this up before anyone see it.' I told myself as I grabbed the towel that I had used earlier to do so.
It took half hour to clean up but once done I started to itch like crazy.
"Now what!?" I softly cried out as I decided what to do about the itching.
Completely undressing I took all of my clothing and the towel that I had used earlier and throw them all into a small washer/dryer that was in the room.
Once that was done I then set the refresher to soft rain as I stepped into it and washed the loose hair that was making me itch so.
The water slowly washed the loose hair away and the itching went away as well.
Stepping out of the refresher I grabbed a towel as I reset the refresher to dissolve the hair that was in still in there as I wrapped the towel around and started to dry my body off.
Hearing the buzzer for the dryer go off. I carefully walked over and removed each item separately .
Dressing quickly, I carefully put everything back into the small bag that I took out. Then carefully put it back into my traveling bag.
TBC?

Are you going to explain what this ritual means in a future post? Or did I miss something in a previous post?
You shaved your head too? Oh, sis.
Her people have to cut off their hair is someone other than their lifemate sees it, nepharia. Long story.
It's a shame to have to cut off all your hair.

Kriss, everything gone but the padawan braid.
Master Obi-Wan, it isn't a shame that my hair is gone, it just means that I've been disobedient with the laws of my people.
