A few months ago, I cut my hair really short, shorter than I ever have. In fact, I had a really drastic undercut where the bottom half of my hair was shaved. There were several people in my family who disliked the fact that I actually shaved my hair off but the main thing that I was concerned with was if I liked it or not. I loved it. But that was not the first time I had ever cut my hair short. In 2013, I cut my hair off after growing it out for two years. I probably wouldn’t go back to that particular hairstyle but that experience was liberating for me.

Since I decided to cut my hair again, the same old comments about my hair preference have come back. “Why did you cut your hair? You look better with long hair. Please don’t cut your hair again.” On and on the comments go. It’s like a never ending cycle of monotony. But here are some reasons why having short hair is the best.

1. Short hair is just easier.

2. There is almost no styling process. Just get up and go.

3. It matches every outfit.

3. It doesn’t get stuck in everything like long hair does.

4. You feel like a new person.

5. You save money on hair products.

6. You’re not hot all the time from your hair on your neck.

7. Short hair almost always looks edgy.

8. Dyeing it is so much easier.

9. You don’t need a reason to want to cut your hair. It’s your life, do what you want.
