Are you ever outside on a particularly windy day with your hair blowing right into your face (and your lipstick) and you start ranting to yourself about wanting to cut it all off? Or how about when you’re about to be late for class or work and your hair is a tangled mess, just begging to be chopped? If any of these situations sound familiar, you might be ready to give the ol’ mane a makeover. But before you head to the salon, here’s a few things you should know about cutting your hair short.
5 Things to Know Before Cutting Your Hair Short
1.Think through it
Be sure to think for a while before deciding to cut all of your hair off. Don’t make the decision in just a few minutes, because while it will eventually grow back, it won’t grow back overnight. Ask yourself why you truly want to cut your hair short. If you have just been through a breakup or some sort of emotional event, it might not be a good idea to cut all of your hair off so soon. Think through the decision for a while and make sure you really want to cut it.
2.Hair styling won’t take nearly as long
Your locks aren’t the only thing that gets shorter. Your styling time does too. Short hair doesn’t take nearly as long to style. You might throw in a few curls or a little bit of straightening if you get a bob, but if you go for a pixie cut, there will be little to no styling involved, making the process of getting ready much shorter. If you do style your pixie, you’ll most likely use a little bit of hairspray and some bobby pins, but other than that, you probably won’t use anything to style your hair. (A huge plus to this: healthier hair!)
3.Your hair will be much lighter
If you’re one of those people that have heavy hair, this will change drastically when you get it cut. Your hair will automatically feel much lighter after the cut. The texture might change a little bit as well, So if your heavy ponytails and buns are constantly giving you a headache, you might want to consider cutting your hair to ease the pain.
4.It will take some getting used to
It might be a couple weeks before you grow to like your new cut, but don’t panic just yet. It will definitely take some getting used to. Maybe search Pinterest for some short hair styling ideas, or buy a cute new headband to accessorize your hair. Do some experimenting, and you’ll be used to your new hair in no time.
5.Short hair requires more frequent trims
For the most part, short hair is low-maintenance and easier to handle, but if you do cut your hair, you will have to go in for trims more often. Styling it in the morning doesn’t take as long, but the upkeep is a little more difficult than with longer hair. You will also have to wash short hair more, as it gets greasier faster than longer hair. Keep this in mind when you’re thinking about cutting your hair.
Cutting your hair short is a risk, but it can be a ton of fun. From experimenting with new styles to finding cute accessories to compliment your new ‘do, having short hair is a whole new world. If you’re itching to change up your hair, or long hair has just become a pain, look into getting a new cut. You’ll feel like a brand new you.
