Should I cut my hair?

Don’t get me wrong, i love how long it’s gotten but i feel like it’s too much to deal with. It’s damaged, gets knotted/matted easily, and just takes too much time to wash, dry, and brush.

I was only going to cut it just below my shoulders so it could be easier to deal with

... Read moreDeciding to cut your hair can be a significant change, especially if you have grown accustomed to long locks. Many individuals face challenges with long hair, including damage, tangling, and extensive maintenance time. Shorter hair can reduce these issues, providing you with a fresh, manageable style that compliments your look. As styles evolve, bob cuts, lobs, and pixie cuts offer not only ease of styling but also a chance to embrace a new look. Shorter hairstyles can provide a youthful appearance and can enhance facial features, making them a popular choice among those contemplating a change. Before making the cut, consider your hair type and face shape. Consulting with a stylist can help identify which short hairstyle would best suit you. Remember, the right cut can transform your routine and boost your confidence! Embrace the change and enjoy the benefits of shorter hair.

I honestly feel like just below the shoulders or right at the shoulders would suit you so well. At that length it would help so much with the tangles and knotty feeling. And plus, I honestly feel like you like to wear it up in a ponytail? And if you do, with shoulder length hair, you’d still be able to pull it back

I feel like the length is weighing down my curls and I’m getting highlights or a balayage in December so I’m thinking of cutting my hair in May but I’m not sure if short curly hair will suit me 🫣 #cuttinghair #cuthair #shorthaircut #short hair ❤️ #shorthairstyles
