“What did you do to your hair?!”
I’ve had mixed reactions with regard to my hair. People have
become so used to my long and wavy do that the sudden cut back to a short hair
devastated a lot of people I know. I would have to admit that there would be
times when I wish I can still have my wavy hair back again and just flip it
like that again; but now I can’t. It’s just now that I have come to realize
that cutting a girl’s hair that short is a bit like breaking up with someone.

The day I got my hair cut (Before and After) |

Here's another shot straight from my digital camera |
For the past few months, I haven’t combed my hair and it’s
not because I do not have the time to do so but more of I want to keep it wavy
and a bit curly. The end result is it left my hair dry and all tangled up. In
short, it has become unhealthy. Just like in a relationship, we keep pushing
for things to happen especially if it’s how we plan and project things to be;
but what we fail to realize is that in the process of changing the natural
course of the relationship, it transforms into something that’s supposed to
strengthen us to something that is emotionally damaging us, which is, the
unhealthy part of it.

The day AFTER I got my hair cut. I still don't know how to style my hair well |
And even though I know that I should just chop the unhealthy
part, I guess I got so used to having it that the thought of getting a shorter
hair scared me so much that I thought I’d look like the girl I was before –
physically unattractive and awkward; but I know I need to let go. In a
relationship, we know when to just give it up and let it go; but what’s
stopping us is the fact that we fear the moment we wake up in the morning and he
is gone. The feeling of being so used to having someone who would always be
there and then one day, poof! – He is gone, is the scariest part of it all.
But then again, we should always learn how to forget the
pain, cherish the good memories, forgive and just let it go. Go on with life
and live it as it is right now.

Experimenting on how style my hair (L) Meeting Erzullie on a Saturday (R) A day at work |
I want my hair to be the start of letting go of the things
that caused me pain and stopped me from climbing up and reaching my star. I
will start doing new things, revamping my life because as cliché as it may
seem, cutting off a big chunk of my hair liberated me and has helped me move on
to a better start this year.

How I prefer styling my hair now :) |
I’m not going to list down a New Year’s resolution except
for one: “I am going to become a better
version of myself this year.”
I love all your looks, my hair was so long years ago but now. </3
ReplyDeleteThanks, Rubbie! :)
DeleteBecoming a better version can start from having self-confidence, and having a well trimmed hair is good for you.
ReplyDeleteThanks, dear! :)
DeleteYour new do looks perfect on you! :) I miss you!
ReplyDeleteSee you again soon, Jes! Miss yoooou! :)
DeleteYou look awesome with a short do! I tried it once and I hated it. I guess I don't have the right face for it.
ReplyDeleteI thought I can't do short hair too but I guess I can! :)
DeleteHaving a new hairdo for girls after going thru a personal thing is really empowering. Cheers to that!
ReplyDeleteTrue that, Sol! :)
DeleteOMG! We're all going short! Haha me likey though I miss your long hair! :3
ReplyDeleteAnd I miss it too. Haha! But this is meant to be. I know it. lol
DeleteFresh! I especially like it when the ends are flipped outwards, so cute :3
ReplyDeleteIt just accidentally happened. lol Hehe
DeleteI am so loving your new hair! Women with short hair rock! (Yes, I'm biased because I'm sporting a pixie myself, lol.)
ReplyDeleteBut, honestly, I always think short-haired girls are kickass! xD
DeleteI wish I could be a little more experimental with hairstyles. I wear a certain hairstyle for a year at times. LOL.
ReplyDeleteI love your new hairstyle ;) Not alot can wear it with spunk!
Thanks, Ruth. Though, I personally find short hair harder to maintain and style. Hehe
DeleteI hate getting my hair cut, I'm one of THOSE women haha ;) I like your new hair!
ReplyDeleteThanks, dear! :)
DeleteI've always personally felt that cutting my hair is synonymous to moving on. I also had my hair cut short when my ex and I broke up. But the last time I had my haircut, I just wanted to have the permed parts cut off. Haha!
ReplyDeleteAnyhow, long or short, you still look as gorgeous! And yes, cheers to your new year's resolution! I'm sure you'll be able to fulfill it! ;)
Thanks, Sumi! Cheers to a better year ahead! :)
DeleteI love your new haircut sis!!! bagay na bagay sayo!!! sexyy <3 :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, sis! :D
DeleteI think I like your new hairstyle - much sexier especially when it's fixed and all styled up - you totally look such a doll! I think most girls have reasons, I actually don't lol! Except for the reason that I want to beautify my look and look - that's basically it, lol
ReplyDeleteThanks, Aisha! :)
DeleteI like the analogy between cutting one's hair and breaking a relationship. It is similar in more ways than one can imagine. Cut the unhealthy part and start growing stronger and healthier. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd btw, I really like shorter hair on you. You look more youthful and outgoing. :)
