I've had so many conversations with many different women who all say they wish they could cut their hair short. Some say their husbands wouldn't like it or they are not brave enough. For many women, hair is like a security blanket. It's comforting as it falls over shoulders or the neck. It can be wispy and draw attention away from a blemish. Some people are blessed with talent to do their own hair flawlessly every day and always looke good. Not me. I am talentless in the doing-long-hair department and the frizz suffocates any hint of confidence that may have existed. So, I decided to go short. Not pixie-cut short, but pretty short. I've gotten several unsolicited compliments from strangers, so it must look half-way decent.
While you can't just put it back in a ponytail if you're short on time or having a bad hair day, it's great for many other reasons. First, it has a little bit more tailored look - you have no choice but to do it. Second, since there aren't many options for different styles once you have your cut (you can't do an up-do, ponytail, braid, etc. like with long hair), it leaves open the opportunity to have fun with cute earrings (there's no hair hiding your ears!) and different make-up. I've been having fun wearing earrings that previously couldn't be seen with my long, dark hair. Lastly, short hair is a great way to wear hair jewelry like cute barretes, etc.
Short hair can be sexy, sassy and cute - it's truly all in your attitude. Plus, it needs to be cut usually every 6 weeks, and who doesn't love going to the salon for a shampoo and haircut? It's a great excuse for a little mini-relaxation session! Try it - you might like it! (If not, it will always grow back) :-)
