    SIKE lol I have zero regrets and love my new short hair. I just wanted to do a deep dive as to why we, as women, are so attached to our long hair. This is not to say that we are not allowed to like long hair. But to analyze why some people become hostile when someone else cuts their hair. Enjoy!

That change she made for herself was something good, not only for herself, but for whoever is receiving that beautiful healthy hair she worked so hard on, giving someone some happiness that she just gave herself, and giving herself a transformation, while also giving that to someone else! It’s truly beautiful and I’m so proud of her for breaking out of that shell that she felt so trapped in, she’s glowing with confidence!

    They really don’t realize how high maintenance long hair is, ESPECIALLY long curly hair!! That is NOT easy. My hair is around the length yours used to be and I honestly contemplate chopping it off sometimes too. Another thing that isn’t easy is that people always compliment my hair NOT me. So imagine how I felt as young girl growing up with people just complimenting the beauty of my hair and not me myself. Recently I cut bangs though, and that was VERY empowering 😊.

    I dont know but I had hair below my butt and went for a pixie cut at home because I was just so frustrated with it. With the tangles, with how painful it was when you tug on it while you are sleeping, how it got caught on everything, the hours spent to maintain it, and especially the attachment I had to it. When I cut it, it was one of the best feelings I've ever had - I felt like I melted off dead weight off my shoulders as cliche as it sounds. Showers are now so much more satisfying; I can run my fingers through my scalp with shampoo so quickly and easily and it feels so good. Drying is even quicker. I no longer value myself based upon the length of my hair. It also brings out some features I had on my face that I didn't know I adored. If you feel like you want a haircut, go for it ladies! Hair will absolutely grow back even if it takes time. It will make you feel a sort of peace and give you a new change to your routine! Challenge yourself to try new styles with a new haircut! Have fun and good luck.

    Women and girls who say they'd kill for long curly hair clearly have never had long curly hair. It does look beautiful but it's time consuming. When I started CGM I became so out of shape bc working out meant I'd have to wash my hair more often and wash days were so time consuming. I cut my hair shoulder length and stopped really caring if my curls were stretched out after putting my hair in a bun to go for a run. Sometimes I look back at pictures of me with my long hair and yeah, it was really pretty. But there's more to life than maintaining the prettiest version of yourself.
