Wow, yes. |
When I was growing up my mother made me wear my hair short - the Dorothy Hamill and then the Princess Di - basically because my hair was fine and snarled after washing with Johnson’s ridiculous baby shampoo and I cried so much while she yanked a comb through it that she cut it as short as she could rather than waste any of her conditioner on my hair. Anyway after that I was basically obsessed my whole adult life with having my hair long and spent countless hours and dollars in the caring for it. Then a few years ago after going through the menopause I cut it into a very short pixie - think Mia Farrow back in the day, or Anne Heche of more recent times. And beyond the massive savings of time and money I enjoy from keeping it cut so short, my favorite thing about a short pixie haircut is that it weeds out all the degenerate jerk men I don’t want to waste a second of my precious remaining time on. |
| I grew up during the Farrah Faucett era, where we all wore feathered hair, so styled. I tend to change my look up every couple of years, long, bobbed, short. I agree the long, unstyled, straight look that the vast majority of HS girls wear is dull |
