[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]LOL on rebellion. Nearly all the moms I know from our DCs’ independent school wear their hair long. If anything a pixie would be rebellion.[/quote]

30 years ago I cut my hair into a pixie cut and got tons of d*ke comments. Men especially found it threatening for whatever reason. Never again.[/quote]

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. [/quote]
