SHORT VS. LONG HAIR

Personally, I would have NEVER cut my hair this short in high school. But now, I don’t ever want my hair that long again. Sure, it looked good. But i feel more classy and mature with my length now.

Which one do you guys prefer? Let me know!

... Read moreWhen considering hair length, it's essential to weigh the advantages and disadvantages of both short and long styles. Short hair often requires less maintenance and can be seen as a bold, stylish choice. It's perfect for those who want to save time on styling and enjoy a fresher look during hot weather. However, it may not provide the same feminine appeal or versatility that longer hairstyles offer. On the other hand, long hair can be magnificent and allows for various styling options, from braids to updos. Nonetheless, long hair may require more upkeep, such as regular trims and elaborate styling techniques to avoid tangling. Environmental factors, like wind and sun exposure, can also pose challenges for long-haired individuals. Ultimately, the ideal hairstyle depends on personal preference, lifestyle, and how each style makes an individual feel. Embrace your hair journey and find the length that resonates with your identity!

...but you were so pretty when you had long hair!
I’ve been told so many times that I was "prettier" when my hair was longer. As a masc lesbian, these comments strike at the very heart of my identity and self-expression. My beauty isn’t defined by the length of my hair or how closely I fit into society’s narrow standards of femininity.

✨ From short to LONG hair — the truth! ✨
Every time I show my “then vs now” hair, I hear the same things: — “It’s just genetics.” — “You have extensions.” — “You dye your hair.” But… none of that is true 😅 My hair genetics are far from perfect — my hair used to break, split, and fall apart. And the funniest part? I have NEVER dyed
