There are times when my new 'do is a little difficult to manage... You have to keep the back "taped up," the new growth is difficult to camouflage, and sometimes I just want a ponytail! Then again, when I wake up much maintenance isn't needed. I don't have to primp and curl- just unwrap and spike with my fingers and hit the door!
The best part of having this new look is the way it makes you feel! This is hilarious, but I really feel liberated! I was watching my FAV show "The Game" ( on the CW, Friday nights @ 8:30pm!) and this particular episode had an older lady ( maybe in her 60's) who was sick in the hospital. She made a comment to Melanie, her Resident Dr ( & she's one of the main characters) about her hair style. It was a cute bob- cute, but nothing special. The lady explains to Melanie that her hairstyle is "safe" that "tucking your hair behind your ears is safe. Your style signifies being in a very comfortable place. Its familiar to you- you know it looks okay. But baby, being comfortable and content isn't really living your life..."
I was thinking WOW! All of this over a hairstyle?! But as I started to meditate on this it was true for me. I have always admired and "wished" I had the nerve to chop off my hair. So here I was with this wrapped hair that I kept a certain length ( I personally don't like REALLY long hair.. ITS TOO HOT IN FLA!) It was easy to manage but it was just like everyone else.
Since I've cut my hair, I have gotten a lot more male attention. On more than a few occasions I have heard "You know, I usually prefer women with long hair, but that looks REALLY good on you!" I wasn't sure if I should be offended or not? My theory behind this is that my cut is dramatic so its something that people may notice first vs. having the usual wrap which is something that is common.
Fellas help me out with this! Will you not talk to a woman because she has a short cut, a low cut, or even a fade? Or is it really just " long hair" woman who spark your interest?
Ladies? What is (if any) holding you back from changing up your hair and removing yourself from being 'comfortable'?

i am with ya... thats why i cut bangs in my hair... you gotta do what ya gotta do and eventually take risks and grow up.
Well, alot of men are naturally attracted to women who have a decent amount of hair.
The reason for this is because it makes them comfortable.
You identified a great problem with this. A short hair style is difficult to manage at times and some people don't do it as well as others.
However, I happen to find that a woman with short hair who can manage it is very sexy. It shows personal pride in her appearance as well as an elevated since of confidence and courage to cut it off in the first place.
I can honestly say that I am starting to become more and more attracted to women with short hair who manage it well.

I took the big chop. Went natural and cut off all the hair. Have gotten more attention over the last few weeks then I had in a minute. You carry yourself differently when you have short hair. I think you exude a little more confidence because you can't hide anything. For some women, hair is a comfort zone. Guys you already knew, that may not have been attracted in the past, they see that confidence. It's attractive!
Even though I don't like my hair right now, it must not be all bad...I've gotten some decent conversation out of it...lol
Haha... Rach this is very interesting topic. I say that because like most guys I think I may be all about the long or longer hair styles on a young lady... Until I met a young lady whom I found very attractive with short or shorter hair... I think the most important part here is how you wear it, and that you have to be confidet in wearing it. I think it's also true that it only looks right on a certain type of woman, just like every guy can't rock a bald head... But if worn properly and maintained a short style, cut, or "chop" can be an attractive quality... If only for the mere fact that it's something different and a young lady who rocks it with confidence will stand out in a crowd...
Yeah I have to agree the short cut isn't for everyone.
And I dont know you personally. I say that because the 2 photos in the blog are all I have to reference. And it could just be the smile in the 2nd pic. But the short cut is where it's at. ( =
Rach... DAMN!! I love your new hair cut... it is dramatic... yet its still classy... hair I think relates to words in the sense that its not what you say but how you say it and the same goes for hair its not how much of it you have its about how you style it... and you have always worn long hair well since I can remember what 9th grade... and now blowing us all away with long hair... as I am writing this in the library a man just walked in and told this girl that he likes her hair... “I like your hair it’s kind of like Rihana" that was both weird and a bit funny at the same time... and remember your hair doesn’t make you… you make it, someone could have the worst hair but if they wear it with confidence they can make any one conform….. Keep doing you!!!! (I am with the guy above me) lol
