Short hair day

1 Comment

The day after Christmas, I had my hair done. I am now sporting a very short hair-do. (I wanted to post before and after pictures, but hadn’t found any decent ones yet, hence the delay of this post…)

So on Shorts Day at work in the evening of the 26th, I came in sporting a new short ‘do, rather than wearing shorts! 🙂 We have wacky days at work on crazy occasions and during this holiday week, we’ve had Santa Day, Shorts Day, Jersey Day, and Headgear Day, among others.

Back to hair. Last time I had cut mine really short was around February 2007, just before I transitioned from being trainer to team manager. I had short hair for some time before that, and loved the fact that I didn’t have to worry about what to do with it constantly.

This time around, the cut seems to encourage my wavy hair to curl at the ends! I am happy with the cut, but a bit frustrated too that I may still have to use the straightening iron or blow dry my hair for it to look better (read: like the way it did from the salon). I really don’t want to have to resort to doing that because the main reason I got a cut was to avoid having to style my hair before leaving for work. I’d rather take the 15 minutes to sleep, than to bother about my hair 🙁

Anyhoo, it is said that women change their hairstyles when stressed, or when they want to have (or there is) something new in their life. Having haircuts are usually associated with breakups. In my case, yes I am kind of stressing out these days, but that doesn’t really have anything to do with the change. I just had time to look at my hair, and feel it, and thought that I’m better off without too much of it. 🙂

But do you agree with that idea though? Where could it have come  from?

I guess there’s a sense of freedom in having your hair cut really short after wearing long tresses. And don’t you agree that having a cropped ‘do sort of emboldens you? Somehow it helps add a spring to your step. Haha 🙂 As for me, there aren’t any major changes on the horizon in the next month. I mean, I’ve just had change, remember? Oh, and god knows how long it will take me to fully sink in with this one before the next big change comes along.
