{ on short hair }
as i'm slowly experimenting with letting my hair grow out a bit (and all the awkwardness
that entails), i've been thinking more and more about my long-term relationship with cropped coifs. wearing one's hair like this certainly forces you to rethink your style, your posture, and your confidence ~ every day. one
glamourai reader turned me on to
this piece by joan juliet buck on the topic, which succinctly summarizes so much of the experience of living without long locks
(excerpt below).

"with short hair you begin to crave pearl necklaces, long earrings, and a variety of sunglasses. and you brush your teeth more often. short hair removes obvious femininity and replaces it with style. when it starts growing out a little and losing its style, you have to wear sunglasses until you can get it to the hairdresser. that's why you need a variety. short hair makes you aware of subtraction as style. you can no longer wear puffed sleeves or ruffles; the neat is suddenly preferable to the fussy. you eye the tweezers instead of the blusher. what else can you take away? you can't hide behind short hair... you may look a little androgynous, a little unfinished, a little bare... but your face is no longer a flat screen surrounded by a curtain: the world sees you in three dimensions."
