LESS IS MORE: 5 Reasons Why You Should Cut Your Hair.

Ever seen a friend sport that fresh cut that drastically changed up their look (i.e. shaving off one side of the head or cutting their booty length hair to shoulder length hair) which you knew you never would be confident enough to rock? Why? Well your hair is incredibly personal to you. It can be incredibly intimidating cutting off more than half your hair and drastically changing your look.

Recently I decided to go undergo the drastic change myself and cut my hair short after 5 LOOOONNNGGG years.

My friend Jessica @CURLWHISPER was the person I wanted to do this with and boy. SHE. DID. NOT. DISAPPOINT.

If you need any more convincing here is some reasons that LESS IS MORE...

1) I MEAN, SHORT HAIR IS SOOOO BADASS

Remember RIRI??

Jlaw?

Halle Berry?

Maybe Grace Jones?

Audrey Hepburn?

Would they be the giant influences they are today without their crazy cuts? Honestly... probably. Buuuuuut, their haircuts definitely defined parts of their journey and their looks. Elevated the world’s perception of their confidence and I’m sure their own.

After all, sporting a fresh cut relates more to your confidence and ability to own your look as it does getting the actual cut. You must understand that confidence extends far beyond getting the chop, it is what follows and you owning it that matters.

2) Plus, by chopping off your hair, you get the chance to donate your hair for a good cause such a locks of love.

Locks of love “provides hairpieces to financially disadvantaged children under age 21 suffering from long-term medical hair loss from any diagnosis.”

The official form to donate hair is here.

3) You are getting rid of damaged hair, such as your split ends, and tangled hair.

Your hair suddenly becomes sooooo much easier to maintain. Like wayyyyyy EASIER.

4) Your routine suddenly becomes so much faster. Instead of spending an hour combing my hair, I can now just roll out of bed and be ready to go! A little dry shampoo and less tangled hair bits means that you can wake up with a hangover for a cup of coffee without ever needing to touch your hair.

I mean, who knows, but this might just be the CHANGE THAT YOU NEED IN YOUR LIFE

(ACTUAL DEPICTION OF ME WITH LONG HAIR*)

5) IF CUTTING OFF 10 INCHES SCARES YOU. YOU CAN ALWAYS DO IT A LITTLE AT A TIME

And don’t fret, you can always cut off a little at a time. Maybe a few inches here and there, until you achieve your desired look.

BONUS!

P.S. IT'S NOT PERMANENT so stop being so scared and have a little fun.
