If you’ve had long hair for most of your life, then it can be really difficult to make the change to short hair, and that’s why you need to be prepared. You have to make sure you’re 100% happy to go ahead with the chop, and it takes time to really make up your mind.

If you’re not sure, then just be patient, and if you’re still not sure a month later, then it’s probably not the right time to change your style so drastically. Hair does technically grow overnight, but it’s growing so slowly that it could take years to get that hair back, and that’s why long to short is such a huge decision.

Even the best hairdressers don’t enjoy these changes and most good hairdressers will have one-to-one with the customer, to make sure he or she is ready for the big step.
