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.
