22 things all girly-girls with short hair understand
Sometimes you rock the middle school boy look, sometimes you go fairy princess, but whatever you do with your short locks is whatever you want!
Women wearing their hair short is a trend that’s here to stay. And while women don’t need anyone’s approval to wear their hair any way they like, it’s nice to see that short hair is no longer assumed to be only a man or male-presenting person’s game, or just a stereotype of gay women. No matter your sexuality, there are some things anyone who pairs their pixie or undercut with their lip gloss and skirts will understand.
1. The freedom you gain when you lose your ponytail
No more choosing between a headache and a sweaty neck!
2. Styling it is all too easy when you don’t have a foot of hair to curl
Now it takes five minutes to look like you just came out of the salon!
3. It suddenly grows faster than it did when you wanted long hair…
Are you imagining things or has it grown two inches since you got it cut last month?
4. You sometimes go incognito as a twelve year old boy
OK maybe not on purpose but in sweats and a good sports bra, it just happens.
5. No but really though the Peter Pan look is a fun change for you
Mary Martin was onto something!
