Going from long hair to short hair can be a very big change, and it’s difficult to know how you’re going to look or feel until the cut has been completed. It’s important to make sure you’re fully prepared for such a change; otherwise you could be in for a big surprise.

If you haven’t’ had short hair for many years, it can be easy to get bored of your long locks, but you may grow tired of short hair quickly and then there’s no turning back. You could possibly put extensions in but that’s not going to be the same as having long hair, and it could take years for your hair to grow back fully.

You may get a mixed reaction from friends and family too, but remember the most important thing is how YOU feel. If you think you’re going to feel confident and happier with short hair then go ahead, just make sure you’ve really thought your decision through.
