5 Thoughts You Have When Your Hairdresser is Cutting Your Hair too Short
Amanda Williams

Everyone knows the struggle.

You anxiously plea,"Just a trim." Sitting in THE chair, you pray that your hairdresser has the same definition of "a trim" as you do.

Maybe you are extremely specific, "just one inch off, please," but will they really listen?

As large chunks of your hair litter the floor, you're plagued with these 5 thoughts:

1. "At least the next time I step on the scale, I will weigh less. She'since she's cutting off pounds of my hair."

A little dramatic, sure. But your hair can feel so much lighter after a big haircut that you can't help but wonder.

2. "You could collect all my hair off the floor and make it into a wig, and I only asked for an inch off."

Maybe the large pile of hair on the floor is just deceiving??

3. "How can I ever trust anyone again?"


Letting someone take scissors to your hair is a pretty big deal. Sure, it will grow back, but not for a while. When you ask for something very specific and your hairdresser betrays you, how can you ever trust again?

4. "If only I were famous, than at least all the extra hair I didn't want cut off could be sold on ebay."

It wouldn't be weird to casually collect some into a bag before leaving, would it?

5. Prepping yourself to give the best fake "oh wow, looks great!" when the hairdresser is done cutting it.

"OMG wow, I wasn't expecting a bob; but it looks great, you are a genius!"

Next time you get a bad haircut, remember that you are not alone. It will eventually grow back. In the meantime....stay strong.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
