Hair. Cut.

I'm baaaaaack!
I know, I know...you've been waiting with bated breath. What? It's the holidays. We've all been busy right?
So check this out...after ten years of having long hair, I recently got about 6 inches cut from it. It's pretty short now and I love it. But there are a few people in my life who value long hair on a woman. Just to give you an idea, my cousin's hairdresser is one of those "fuck you, I'll do what I want" hairdressers. Anyway, she cut a few inches off her hair without her permission. My cousin went and sat in her car and cried for 15 minutes.  Seriously. 15 minutes of weeping!
We call her 'Samson' now. Wuss.

What's the big deal with long hair? Remember the show 'Felicity'? The ratings drop was actually attributed to the drastic hair cut of the title character. Really? People actually stopped watching a tv show because some chick went from long hair to short hair? I call Bullshit.

Just for the doubters (i.e. haters) out there, I give you the Top 5 Benefits of Having Short Hair:
Benefit #5: No one immediately assumes you're wearing a weave or extensions.

Ciara

Benefit #4: Your boyfriend (or girlfriend. I don't judge) can run his fingers through your hair without worry of getting them caught on tracks. (See Benefit #5)

Katherine McPhee

Benefit #3: Less time washing and blow drying.

Victoria Beckham

Benefit #2: Edgier fun look that can be spiked and teased or sleek sophisticated look that can be worn to the office.

Tisha Campbell

Benefit #1: Your eyes, cheekbones and lips stand out more than ever. Your beauty is on full display.

I know there's supposed to be some kind of added bombshell quotient to having long hair, but I have a C cup and a fabulous ass. I don't need bombshell hair.

Until next time, keep it cute and have a happy and safe New Year!
