1. The First Time You Cut It Off
It's a real struggle. You wake up the next morning and your head, neck and ears are freezing. You can feel the air blowing on your head, and you start wondering when it will grow back.
2. The First Shower
It's amazing and fearful at the same time. You don't need to use as much shampoo and conditioner, which is a struggle but then again, you don't clog the drain anymore because your hair is less than two inches long.
3. When Someone Says They Liked Your Long Hair Better
That's cool. You know what I liked better? When you kept your opinions to yourself. That was nice.
4. And Then They Asked You If You Are Going To Grow It Back Out
No. I am not. Please do not ask me again. As much as I complain, I actually love my hair. Thank you, though.
5. The Classic Question: "Are You A Lesbian?"
My answer is no again. Please stop asking. I like my hair short. I date men. Men seem to like my hair. Go away please.
6. Having To Go To The Hairdresser Every Two Weeks
You hate it when you have friends who complain about going to the hairdresser every two months or so when you have to go every two weeks or you will start growing some mullet-type hair cut.
7. Bed Head Makes You Look Like a Crazy Person
People think short hair is easier to take care of - it's not. I look like I got electrocuted every morning.
8. Winter Time is a Struggle
You do not have anything to keep you warm. You want to wear a beanie, but then you look like a bald englishman.
9. When Someone Asks If You Were Going Through A Crisis
A lot of the time, people think you had a mental breakdown and just cut off a chunk of your hair with scissors. Trust me, cutting off 13 inches of your hair takes a lot of planning. We probably didn't want to part with it in the first place.
10. Never Knowing Which Product To Use
You look up a bunch of tutorials, and they keep on throwing different products at you. What is a heat protectant, and why do I need to use it?
11. Even Though Its A Daily Struggle, You Love Your Short Hair
Every day you hear the same comments and get the stares, but you would never trade your short hair for the world. It was probably the best decision you've ever made.
