Rec | SHORT HAIR ADVOCATE

💇‍♀️

Rec'd on 🪮 IS THERE ANY GIRL WHO WENT FROM LONG TO SHORT HAIR AND ACTUALLY LIKED IT??

This was me totally. I went from actually waist length hair to right at my shoulders and then to a bob within months. I've cycled through all kinds of hair styles since then. Wolf cuts, layered bobs, pixie cuts, the only thing I haven't done is buzzed my hair. I loved my long hair and being so used to having it made it really jarring when it was gone for sure. But short hair suits my style and features so so much better. So I have not gone back. I miss the feeling of having long hair but I don't miss the look most the time. Or the maintenance. And I do really love my short hair I think it's really cute and it's so fun to wash and to style. It helps me lean more into an androgynous vibe when I want which is nice sometimes. There are tons of ways to style it! You can get specific with your hair type and length on Pinterest and get a ton of ideas. Also Jenny Cha (whom I've linked) has a series styling her buzz cut growing out and she has a ton of ideas in that series.

I couldn’t agree more! At least for now, my short hair makes me feel more like myself and I’m loving how easy it is to style. Feels like a life hack to embrace short hair tbh!

had really long, past shoulder length long hair and cut it off post COVID for a buzzed head. Had that buzzed head for about two years but learnt my hair grew too fast to maintain the buzz consistently. So growing it out again. But what grinds my brain is relearning how much time having hair took from my day! Like setting a schedule of washing it, brushing it, oiling it, it's alot that I did not miss doing when I had a shaved head. So currently leaning into the fun of an ever-changing look (had a funny hat phase during winter—favourite time because I love hats—and now in the accessories phase...) to remind myself it's just hair and to appreciate the process 💖

I got a buzz cut

I’ve never had my hair this short but I just had this urge to get rid of it all. It was a desire that had been building up for years and I started to feel like my long hair was like a wilted flower at the end of the summer. Also I remember a bald friend telling me that if he had enough hair he would be experimenting with new looks all the time. So I took that to heart.

Shaving your head

Gave myself a buzz cut a couple months ago and it rocks I feel so light and free and am discovering styles I never would have considered as it slowly grows back out. Incredibly liberating experience to have 3 lbs of hair hit the floor but the experience continues now that I’m getting to be a pixie cut person. Months later and I still am addicted to this choice

city lights from the plane

There's nothing like seeing the city from a plane windows. Sparkling like stars down there. The little people in their little cars and twinkling homes. Feels so bittersweet and human somehow.

staying up late watching rom coms and delivering commentary via text

More specifically, watching your favorite rom com and then your crush's favorite rom com (is there an adult word for crush), back to back at the same time as they are watching them. But instead of the social exhaustion of video calling you just text while you watch them. Even better you guys like each other mutually, so it should be exhilerating, but they cannot and will not be with you so instead it's just a lesson in your terrible self restraint. Exhilerating anyway. Good movies, good conversation. Unbeatable.
