Long or Short?

June 27, 2011 By Kelly Lui 8 Comments

Without looking at the calendar, I would not have known July is just around the corner. The weather is just not cooperating with the season. Why is it still so gloomy? I want to get a suntan and show off my body in a bikini. It is safe to assume I will not get this opportunity soon with the sun playing hide-and-seek every alternate day.

However, there is still one thing I can do before heading down to the beach – I need to get a haircut. In my opinion, a new hairstyle can make one look completely different. I remember last summer I had this long, thick hair which took hours to dry off. Compelled by both my hairdresser’s urges and my eagerness for a big change, I decided to break up with my long hair. Surprisingly enough, I quickly fell in love with the new comer although one of my guy friends said that he liked girls with long hair more than short. Oh shoot, he just hurt my feelings. It wasn’t because I had feelings for him, but the fact that he told me so directly without even thinking about my feelings. Who would say things like that? Geez. Guys are sometimes really stupid. After that, I asked more friends about my new haircut and found out that the majority thought it suit me relatively well. I really appreciated those compliments.

Anyway, now I am at the point where I am not sure whether I should keep my hair long or short. It is always quite a struggle for me to decide, because I am afraid of the result. This is probably why so many people have nightmares about getting a bad haircut! Plus, my hair just grows very quickly. Very soon, it will become like a sponge again (very thick). I’m pretty lazy. I do not want to give up my beauty sleep, so I just take a shower at night and wake up with a pretty messed-up bundle of hair. And yet, after only a few combs — that’s all the ‘styling’ I’m prepared to do — I’m good to go. Therefore, I usually look for hairstyles that do not require much work such as gelling or blow-drying.

After looking through magazines, I have come to the conclusion that regardless of long or short, there are popular looks for every ‘do. With so many different hair styles out there, the most important point of searching is to find the one that you like and willing to give a shot. Ladies, we gotta be more confident in our decisions. It’s our life after all, not someone else’s. If someone — tactless guys included — does not like your hair style,  it’s not the end of the world, because there is surely someone else that does; similarly to dating!

    My wife says it’s the toughest decision in a woman’s life is a haircut as it depends on her relationship status. Great post, btw.

      I don’t really think it has anything to do with your relationship status, rather with how you are feeling.

      Yeah, so much of this depends on your mood, and what suits you personally.

    Short or long doesn’t matter! I really like those women who are are confident about their decisions, confusing during selecting a hair cut may result bad hair style. Thus ladies be confident & live life with full joy. Don’t worry about what others saying, until you’ve feelings you’re right about your decisions. Thanks.

    Honestly, the thought of letting go of your long hair for a short one is a difficult decision for me to do. I fancy short hairs especially when the weather is hot, but i cant bear cutting my hair too as I fear how i will look afterwards. I envy you as you never thought it twice before you cut the hair. it looks nice on you though.

Sample the “Drink Me” Potion at Your Own Risk

Don't try to find a beginning or an end to this site, because there's not one. That will only cause you frustration and I don't have the money for your therapy bills. Mine are already expensive enough.
