For years, my long hair was my pride and joy. It cascaded down my back, swayed with every step, and took hours to wash and style. It was part of who I was—a shield that made me feel feminine, confident, and safe.
I spent countless hours caring for it:
✔ Deep conditioning treatments 🌿
✔ Avoiding heat styling 🔥
✔ Trimming the ends (but never too much!) ✂️
But as much as I loved my long hair, I also felt trapped by it. It took too much time, too much effort, and on some days, I just wanted something different.
The Impulsive Decision ✂️
One day, I looked in the mirror and thought:
« What if I cut it all off? »
At first, I laughed at the thought. But the idea stuck in my mind. I started looking at pictures of short hairstyles, imagining myself with a bold new look.
And then it happened—one random afternoon, I walked into a salon and said:
« Chop it off. »
The hairstylist gave me a long, questioning look, but I nodded. I was ready.
The First Cut – A Moment of Shock 😲
The sound of the scissors slicing through my hair was both terrifying and thrilling.
As each strand fell to the floor, I felt a rush of emotions:
✔ Excitement 🎉
✔ Fear 😨
✔ Liberation 🌟
When the hairstylist spun me around to face the mirror, I barely recognized myself. My long, flowing locks were gone, replaced by a sleek, short cut.
And guess what?
I LOVED IT.
