Ever since I cut my hair I find other women in the office following suit. I think girls care too much about their hair and how it represents them. Some would say the hair on a girl is what makes her feminine, true...but then I think in a lot of ways women can be feminine and not be bound by the stereotype that 'long, luscious hair defines a woman'.

Actually since having my hair cut I have found a new independence, a life that has sprung within me. I have started to actually become more feminine and enjoy dressing up and appreciating being a woman. Shorter hair has given me a boost, and I feel more fashionable, more daring, more flexible with change. When my long hair used to make me look older and more submissive and tired looking.

Ever since having my hair cut in June. Many girls in the workplace have commented on how it has brighten me up, and they too have opted for the chop. For example. Mairin, Shirley, Caroline etc.. And they look damn sexy and empowered. I think I can honestly live my life without long hair.

F would be upset at that thought. Men just love long hair on women. But sometimes they don't realise women keep their hair long to 'please' men. Are they really happy with long locks that they have to tie up all the time, they have to wait to dry, they have to be brushed and have treatment every couple of days! That when they wake up it is a mess, it can be so heavy and annoying pulling at your scalp!

I saw this very androgynous looking girl on the train today. She was HOT!! Guys would think so too. Short leather jacket, wearing tight black skinny jeans, a bit of bare skin between where her black top ends and where her jeans begin. She had a cute crop hairstyle, and long fringe that covered one eye. Light brown hair, slim, with fair skin, naturally pink lips and cheeks.. she looked so feminine and gorgeous. Must be at least 18 years old. I think girls should be more adventurous with their hair, it GROWS!! See whether few snips of the hair can enhance your features :) (I guess I have also been annoyed at America's next top model - why do u models cry over a haircut???!!! STupid girls...)

* But don't go cutting your hair now and blaming me if you don't like it. At least u took a punt :)

I let my hair grow through all 4 years of High School, as you can imagine - i had alot of hair.
The day OF graduation, almost literally as soon as i stepped off that stage, i ran to a barber and he cut most of it off. I donated it to Locks of Love.
You know it's true - it did make me feel more free. It's amazing how much time can be wasted on long hair.
