why did i cut my hair?

well let’s talk about memories!! i know you have heard the saying “hair holds memories” and yes hair may not actually hold memories but it’s you that holds onto those said memories. Time to let them go!! the good ones will stay implanted in your mind and heart but the bad ones will be forgotten. Chop your hair bestie it’s for the best❤️

... Read moreThe act of cutting hair is often seen as more than just a physical change; it represents a new beginning or a way to move on from past experiences. Many people believe that hair holds specific memories or emotions, making the act of chopping it off a symbolic release. When we undergo life changes, whether positive or negative, transforming one’s appearance can be an important part of the healing process. The saying "hair holds memories" speaks to the deep emotional connections we have with it – each strand can symbolize a moment or emotion we’ve held onto. By cutting it, we allow ourselves to let go of what no longer serves us, making room for growth and new experiences. Moreover, many individuals have reported feeling lighter and more empowered after a haircut. It acts as a physical manifestation of change, allowing people to step into a new version of themselves. So if you’ve been contemplating a haircut, consider it as more than just a change in style; see it as a potential turning point in your life. Embrace the fresh start that comes with every snip!

I know it seems tempting, but heres why you shouldn't! 1. Cutting your hair short is a commitment, all of those hairstyles you use to have? Yeah, they won't work on your new short hair 😭 So be sure to learn new styles for your hair. 2. It takes FOREVER to grow back. Did you know that

why i cut off 6+ inches of my( healthy )hair
unfortunately curly hair cuts are best if you plan on keeping your hair short or if u want layers as it grows longer. i’ve decided i no longer want layers as it grows because it makes it look less full and it just grows out really wonky
