I went through so much for good hair.

10 Comments You Get When You Have a pixie cut
Personal photo

Although I'm in the process of (slowly) growing out my hair into an awkward bob, I suffered through the pixie cut trend for four long years. I cut my hair my freshman year of high school after months of begging and begging my grandmother for even a simple trim. I, at first, wanted a bob about three inches above my shoulders, but after looking around Google and Pinterest for inspiration on "short hair", I stumbled upon the cliche Tumblr-esque pixie cuts. Of course I immediately fell in love. But as everyone with a pixie cut can tell you, there are MANY cons to getting this hairstyle.

1. "I liked your long hair better!"

Giphy

You always receive this comment from your acquaintances who think they need to just help you out a little.

2. "I just believe women should have long hair."

Giphy

It usually comes from older men who have given you their unsolicited thoughts on your hair.

3. "You're lucky! It's so much less work to style!"

Giphy

My cabinet full of mousses, hair sprays, hair gels, and my four different hair brushes say otherwise.

4. "Is she a lesbian?"

Giphy

Usually only whispered just above earshot. When it's said to you, they're assuming it, not asking. Not that I'm not gay, but maybe don't assume from the hair.

5. "You're sacrificing a lot for a trend, don't you think?"

Giphy

Not a trend, I just have personal opinions.

6. "Do you need to speak to the manager?"

Giphy

It's just a haircut. Also, I have too much anxiety to confront someone of authority about anything.

7."When are you going to grow your hair out?"

Giphy

Maybe never. Who knows?

8."You cut your hair AGAIN?"

Giphy

Everyone has to cut their hair eventually, even if it's just a trim.

9. "Sorry, I just like girls that have something to hold on to."

Giphy

Stop sexualizing hair!!!!!!

10. "Are you a boy or a girl?"

Giphy

Not that it matters to you, but my D-cups would probably answer your question.

As negative as I make short hair seem, cutting all my hair off was the best and most freeing decision I ever made and I wouldn't discourage anyone else from trying it. Even though you'll go through a lot, it's worth being happy with yourself

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
