My hair has been long since I was sixteen years old, so I struggled with the decision to either keep my hair long or just cut it short. Actually, I’ve been thinking about cutting my hair for a long time, but everyone talked me out of it whenever I brought up the subject.
Everyone has their reasons for wanting my hair long and I did too. As time has passed and my life circumstances have changed, I decided to just jump in and cut my hair short. So I scheduled the hair cut in the morning and the professional photo session with model poses in the afternoon.
The lighting at the photography studio was AWESOME and it seriously was so much fun! I suggest everyone have a “model shoot” sometime because it will make you feel like you are twenty years old again.
With my hair short and sassy, I felt lighter than air while posing with the natural bouncy curls. It is such a big change! Do you know how much hair weighs when it almost hits your waistband? A whole lot more than when you have a shorter hairstyle!
Reasons Why Short Hair Is Better Than Long Hair
- Short hair dries faster.
- It accentuates your beautiful features.
- Short hair takes less time to style.
- Shorter hair shows confidence.
- You look younger with short hair.
- Short hair never gets in the way or blocks your vision.
- Your neck won’t be hot with short hair.
To be fair, I also have a list of reasons that long hair is better too.
Reasons Why Long Hair Is Better Than Short Hair
- You have more style choices with long hair.
- Long, naturally curly hair can dry without having to spend lots of time styling.
- Keeping your hair long saves money on having it cut all the time.
- Long hair is warmer.
- Long hair feels luxurious and sexy.
- Long hair is great for all face shapes.
- You can have a great ponytail with long hair.
So do you like my hair short better than when it was the longer style?
What it all boils down to is how you like to wear your hair, not how everyone else wants you to wear your hair. Of course, with today being April 1st, this post also boils down to how gullible you were while reading it and looking at the picture. Gullible? Yes, Gullible. No, I didn’t cut my hair. Today is April Fools!
Believe me, this was mild compared to other things I’ve done. I just couldn’t help myself…I felt quite mischievous.
Don’t you dare
LOLOLOLOLOL
Haha! You got me!

LOL Oh good!!! 😀
Ya almost had me!!! ;)… I am a fellow redhead with long hair. I have contemplated chopping my locks off many times, especially since moving to the southern part of the states — it’s hot here!!! Like you, I have nearly always had long hair. As a photographer this is extremely convenient, because I like having the option to pull my hair back when working outdoors. Fun post! Thanks for the April foolery! 😉
Thank you Shanon! 😉 It IS hot in the south with all the HUMIDITY! Oh my! Sometimes the moisture just hangs in the air and all I want is to sit in a cold shower all day. LOL
yeah, ya got me too! 😀
I must admit, the photo is very sexy – but you know how much I love your long hair – & would be very shocked if you did cut it… yeah, I was really, really shocked until I got to the end! 😛
LOL Skip, if I was able to fool you, I was waaaay good or waaaay bad, whichever waaaay you look at it! LOL It took me awhile to think of how I was going to pull off an April Fool’s joke, but I figured if I went for the super dramatic and shocking, it JUST might work. 😉
I like it! I just went from long to short too! It is so freeing.
LOL Carla! I don’t think you read all the way to the bottom of the post! 😉
You got me good on this one. My hair wouldn’t grow long like yours if I wanted it to. Silly girl. It made me smile though 🙂
LOLOLOL 😛 Glad you smiled!
… oo-oo-ooh … sharp elbows – my ribs are sore now … 😀 … still … if you ever DO decide to, think of your wondrous locks as money in the bank – natural, never-dyed, LONG red hair commands the highest level of value in the commercial wig world – make sure to negotiate for top dollar with a reputable broker …. 😉
Not ever going to cut my hair Jim, well, unless someone wants to pay me $10,000 or more! 😉
