Short hair thoughts..... I have over 20 years of experience in having short hair. I got my first short haircut in 10th grade.... a bob... my mother hated it, I loved it. What I am going to do is dispel some myths and public perceptions on having short hair, since every 3 years or so I repeat the same cycle.... grow my hair out until it is halfway down my back, cut it a little, then.... cut it OFF. I am speaking from experience here...and others experience may be totally different. Dont get me wrong...I like having it short, but I have a lot of people who will say things like...oh its so much easier..dont you think? Um.. NO. 1. No. It is not easier to fix (for me). In fact, it may take longer. I do not have wash and go or wash and blow dry and I am ready to walk out the door hair. I still have to blow dry, straighten, and manipulate my hair into something decent. Every single day. 2. Theres no fixing a bad hair day with a ponytail. You just have to live with it for the whole day until you can get home and stick a hat on. 3. I cant hide behind my hair. For instance, this week I have had horrible break outs. I am talking full on going through puberty all over again acne and cystic acne on my chin, neck, cheek..... I cant flip that hair across my neck or style it closer to one side of my face to hide that. I just have to live with the embarrassment of it. 4. You cant skip a day of washing your hair. At least not me. It just doesnt work. When my hair is long, I can go 2 or 3 days without washing, no problem. Not now. I will just look like a greaseball. 5. One day your hair can go just right... and the next it wont do anything. All of a sudden you are due for a haircut. It literally happens overnight. 6. Maintaining color and covering up gray is more important. It seems to grow more quickly when its short....in fact I need to dye mine right now. 7. You dont wake up cute. Thats right...there is no way you are going to wake up with the same hairstyle you went to bed with. In fact I dont even know who that person in the mirror is when I wake up in the morning. She scares me. Pros 1. I like it. Its more stylish and I get more compliments. Ha ha!
