I have this love-hate relationship with my hair. There are days when it's like I'm on a shampoo commercial and feeling always primed to carry on the day. And there are days when my hair gets totally dry, brittle and greasy and becomes a precipitate of negative vibes on me.

They say that women with longer hair are apparently hotter than women with short hair. And for the longest time I kept my hair long. The type of hair that flows into the wind on a bright breezy day and to be honest, I've never considered cutting it short. I don't know, but, somehow it made me feel more beautiful and confident. It became my protective curtain and my shield. It was what I'm used to and for me it was what's "attractive". Not until one day when I was checking my Instagram, I noticed that most of the female celebrities here in the Philippines were opting for shorter hair. It made me realized, I wanted change and just jump on the bandwagon. There are even times that I used to test my husband how he would react to me hinting at chopping off my hair for the reason that I was worried it would make me feel less attractive to him. (HAHAHA!)

At first, I was terrified and used to just sitting on the fence about making the big chop on my hair. I have been contemplating for the longest time and eventually got the courage to do it, fearless, no post traumatic shock and with no remorse even when I saw my most cherished long locks on the ground after cutting it off. If you ask me what I felt after, I would say it felt better, felt lighter and I even felt younger.

So far, I'm loving it and just to let you guys know, my husband loves it, too!

So why did I choose to cut my hair? Alright, I kinda love the look and felt I needed a change, something fresh and new. Cutting it shorter allowed me to "wake-up-later" and get some additional minutes of sleep. There's no need to worry about the time consuming of blow drying and styling. It's so much easy to deal with. Another reason is that it dries so much quicker than when it was long plus I started using less shampoo and conditioner. Yes, with shorter hair you can save money too! :)

But then again, at the end of the day, it was just hair. Your hairstyle doesn't define you; you define who you are.
