“I've never felt so confident as I did with short hair – I felt really good in my own skin.” – Emma Watson
I sat in the chair staring in myself in the mirror as my hairdresser, Lisa, stood behind me. Having a slight click, the razor found life buzzing. I closed my eyes as she held it towards the back of my neck. And just like that (and 20 minutes of cutting, clipping, and snipping away at my hair), my hair vanished. After a year of adopting the short hair life, I had sat down with shoulder length hair and left with it kissing my jawline.
Let’s come on: our hair defines who we're. I remember not too long ago having long, mermaid hair with perfect texture and waves. Everyone has that friend with a stellar ombré and rocks bod-fitting leather pants. Every single day at your 10:25 am class, you secretly hate the lady with the long, pin straight hair that looks miraculously “un-done.” We cling to our long hair like life jackets. However more than ever before is the time to chop it, time to go after and pursue a short bob or perhaps a pixie cut!
Our hair is a burglar blanket, in some way or another, to cover areas of our faces. With short hair, you're baring all. Short hair reveals and accentuates your neck, shoulders, and jawline. For a lot of girls, this look can be incredibly intimidating. I've had exactly the same thoughts myself: Let's say it appears terrible? Let's say I can not style it? Have no fear – short locks are incredibly addicting and empowering.
Before, I felt pretty. I'd style my hair and slick on some lipstick and feel pretty. I received my hair cut short and I feel sexy. I’ve never felt genuinely sexy before. I thought I knew what that felt like, but now I step out and I seem like a whole new woman. Without my face being hidden, I put on my make up and have never felt more beautiful. I don’t put on scarves anymore, because I’m proud of my facial structure. Take charge and possession of yourself and that beautiful face that belongs for you.
Getting a close fitting crop screams sexuality. There is something about a woman who chops her hair off that provides off a strong vibe. She knows what she would like, she doesn't need anyone to complete her, and she or he doesn't feel obligated to follow all of the rules. A girl with short hair makes a statement because she's unpredictable. Smashing the societal norms is interesting, so be interesting.
With the current movement of Hollywood starlets cropping what they've got got (Taylor Swift, Jennifer Lawrence, Shailene Woodley), the cropped look has been accepted ever. Begin by doing subtle cuts that lead up to the ultimate look if that's easier. Jumping straight into it may be terrifying. After many years of torturing your hair by straightening, blow drying, and curling your lengthy locks – your hair will love taking a break from the heat!
“I just cut my hair after which it truly changed my entire life. There's something about having no hair that screams feeling better.” – Miley Cyrus
P.S. I truly did cut all my hair off!
