The pro's and con's of it !
It starts of when we are little, with the introduction to " Rapunzel ". Wasn't it every girls dream to have long blond hair, and use it to get her prince ? Oh the memories...

Seeing that I managed to get my " Prince " having long hair, I am loathe to part with it. Silly really, because spouses tend to see the not-so-glamourous look more often than not... Security blanket, femininity or just plain old habit have a lot to do with it. The imprint of all years seeing the various commercials, you know the ones where women only have lustrous long and shiny hair, resulting in a " great " life, is hard to discard.
Who remembers the old ad of Brooke Shields and her jeans ( with a mane of great hair ). You know, it is not so easy to do the toss & swing of long hair ! Many a chiropractor has had repeat business from the fore mentioned folly... In a way, I do admire those brave ones, who go ahead and just chop it all off.
The bane of having long hair, can be summed up in a few words....it tends to stay behind !
- on you car seat
- on your jersey
- on the floor, check out the bottom of your vacuum cleaner.
- even more awful, on someone else's car seat.
- in the shower
- yuk, in the pot, while you cook ?
- alarmingly in your hairbrush.
It is a wonder we still have hair at all. I think this list could have a few more entries. Regardless, I am still fondly attached to my long hair at the moment but the hair-clock is ticking and the age of a short-do is approaching...

In my opinion there's no limit to the age of which a woman can carry a long-hair-do :) Having that said, I cannot tell you enough how happy I am with my own decision to chop it all off ;)
ReplyDeleteI must say, that you had guts and your shorter hair really looks nice. Does the hair-shedding also get less with the shorter hair?
