What one writer learned from chopping off her hair
By now you’ve probably heard: Short haircuts are happening. Everywhere. From the September Vogue Paris cover, to Coco Rocha’s Instagram in real time, to Rihanna, who went short a few weeks ago. And if there are other life forms out there in the universe, I’m sure even they have heard about Beyoncé’s pixie cut, polled their colonies for their citizens’ opinions, and put forth multiple theories about why she did it.
But as a short-haired woman for the past two years, I’ve been watching the pixie hysteria unfold with some level of bemusement. I was never that comfortable with long hair on myself. The longest I’ve had it is to my shoulders, and the bob is sort of my sweet spot. But in the early nineties, I was really into Depeche Mode and wanted to date someone with Martin Gore hair. I was not attracted to Gore himself — too asexual.
My husband met me when I had short hair and claims to like it. I’ll just have to take him at his word. I’m pretty sure Linda Evangelista, another nineties hair idol of mine who frequently chopped her hair, never had any problem getting a man into her bed. Miley Cyrus was recently No. 1 on the Maxim hot list, an honor rarely bestowed on ladies without classic bombshell hair, which Miley pointed out.Because, Ellen. Someone recently told me that I look like Ellen, actually.
I like having short hair. The fact that celebs are embracing the cut is a bit of a double-edged sword, though. For a while I heard, “Oh, you have the Miley!” But maybe it will make it less scary for other, non-celebrity women to try. The cut is a real confidence builder, because you don’t have any hair to hide behind. It’s just your cheekbones against the world.
Do I sometimes wish I could just wake up one morning with long hair and avoid the painful growing-out process? Yes. Mostly because I want to try one of those Game of Thrones Khaleesi braid tutorials.
