Why short hair is great for mothers

By Wing Sze Tsoi


Most men found long hair attractive and irresistible. Regardless the condition of the hair, whether there is split ends or very bad condition, the sign of sex symbol is still long hair. The cliche of sign of attraction from a woman is when she wave her strand of hair around her finger, or tilt her head back and forth to show movement of her hair. These are all signs of women who are attracted to certain men. All the hair products TV adverts out there all shows women with long hair. Evidently that long hairs not just sells to men, it sells to women too. The other classic tale of a women had a change of relationship status and went to get her locks chopped off, also a tale tell sign of revolution of her life.

I am not of fan of cliche of stereo types, but I certainly do not want to attract any attention from the opposite sex. Neither I want to keep pulling or simply finding ways to hide my hair from my face.

So long hair is definitely not for me; the fairy tale house and children is simply not for me. Something with a bit of an edge; now that's more like it.

Ever since I can remember, every hairdresser I've been to has said that I have a round face; so under no circumstances can I have a short hair cut, or at the very least, a hair cut that is above my jaw or ears. But I have always insisted that they cut it way shorter, like a crop that will take those noisy old hair clippers to do the job. Nothing thrills me more but that noise going on at the back of my head, with huge locks of hair chopped off and falling to the floor.

There's something about short hair that gives me tremendous confidence, even though I have a round face! I can brave the world in that hair cut; I think people will take me more seriously. With short hair I sometimes stop putting make up on altogether, or I wear really strong lips and eyeliner; it's all or nothing for me. With short hair, I even forget about washing my hair sometimes, and simply just pin it all up and forget about it. I no longer wear big, long girlie earrings, and I have to think twice about putting a pink lace dress on; or if I do wear it, then I will definitely wear it with irony. I feel confident and independent, simply my own, better self.

I love kissing and hugging my tiny baby, both in our new short hair, hers being naturally born with, and mine, my new hair cut. I all of a sudden love standing out in a bunch and loving the stares, if not the attentions from men!
