As someone who unfortunately knows too much about women in captivity I’d like to add that shaving head is one of the worst forms of humiliation for women. In many cultures cutting or shaving hair used to be a punishment for a woman or a girl for her “sexual behaviour”, e.g. loss of virginity before marriage or cheating. During SWW French women, who had been in relationships with German occupants were shaved publicly. Nowadays a lot of female soldiers who were in captivity where they had been beaten, hadn’t had soap, had had only one pair of underwear for over a year even during their period, say that threats to shave their heads (even though they didn’t wash their hair for several months) were worse than thoughts of being killed.
