Cutting my hair short

I had been keeping my hair long for the past few years. Friends and family said I look nice with rebonded hair but I don't want to subject my hair to heat and chemicals. It takes me a long time to dry my hair and in this hot humid weather, it was hot to leave long hair down and I felt the hair band pulling the hair from my scalp when I tied it up.

A week ago, I went to my hairstylist and told her to cut my hair to about an inch below my ears. She commented that looking good is not a priority to me and I want to go natural and use organic hair products. She's right in a way but I think I can still look nice sporting a short hair cut if I bother to style it a bit. Now it's a breeze to dry my hair after a shower. Most friends said my short hair is refreshing but what really matters is I like it :) I will have to put my hair clips and hair band away and I don't think I will need them for a long long time. It also means I have to visit my hairstylist more frequently. This is a right decision I've made this year :)

My work trip was surprisingly pleasant. Shall see if I have time to elaborate on it. Now I need to churn out my trip report!

kinda funny comment your hairstylist made. :) Could have potentially been offensive but sounds like you know her well enough to take it. I think you look swell enough. And it's good you know you what you want. I am ambivalent about my hair but I doubt I will do it again. I am waiting to rebond it!

I realized I haven't seen you for ages! I know you when your hair was short and it was very sassy. I like you in short hair very much. :) Am sure you look good in this crop.

Thanks, girls :) I received 2 more comments about my hair today. A colleague/friend said she decided that I looked better in my long/old hairstyle. I told her I like this current short hair and I don't think I want to grow it long anymore. My remarks kind of surprised our 2 other friends. When I bumped into another friend in the afternoon, she said she really likes my short hair. I look forward to a trim next month when my hair becomes out of shape :)

Yeah I liked you with short hair too when you used to have it - it suits you! I'm sure this cut will look good - and there's nothing wrong with low maintenance!
