Recently I decided to get my hair cut. It had been over a year and my mane had become quite the unmanageable beast. Years ago I had short hair, not wanting to go too short I decided a nice chin length would be a suitable transition. I figured I'd still be able to wear it back if I wished. Unfortunately that didn't quite worked out the way I had planned. It's a bit too short to wear back so I'm forced to wear it down. Here's the thing, everyone I know has been commenting on it in a positive fashion, from old friends to new acquaintances. I don't understand - if all of a sudden I'm pretty, does that mean I looked like poo before???
I asked a good friend tonight to please explain why people are so fascinated with the concept of me wearign my hair down. He said "it's sexy." Hair pulled back as I used to wear is "old fashioned." Well hello! That makes sense; you should see my "grandma" apartment...not to mention the librarian chain connected to my sunglasses. My previous hairstyle completely fits my personality.
The funny thing is that I feel like I'm not being true to myself. This person with the new hairstyle is someone else and the real me is in hibernation. Me thinks that as soon as my hair grows out, and I am able, there will be a lot of disappointed friends of mine but one very happy Shannon.

Short hair looks hot on you Shannon. Don't fret about it. It works for you.
Would I lie.

hate to break it to everyone but i have, since late last night, found a way to pin the hair up and achieve the granny look once more. success!
BTW, having long hair and wearing it up achieves the same look as having short hair...it's the fact that i couldn't put it up to my liking and was forced to wear it down that i despised...which i don't think i communicated clearly in the original post.

You are just going to have to face the fact that you are a beautiful woman, short hair or long!!!

I looovee your new do. And the thing is- cause you found a way to put it up- now you have so many options! But I think the hair down is a nice change. We all need change once in a while. Your hair is like a boyfriend- you need to spice things up once in a while. So you start going after it/him with scissors.
