Short hair, don’t care? Oh honey, we really don’t.
But what we are tired of? The unsolicited opinions. The endless commentary. The confused stares.
Let’s talk about it.
“You almost look like a boy!”
Oh wow, never heard that before. How original.
Guess what? Hair length doesn’t define gender. And if it did, we’d still choose to rock this look, confidently and unapologetically.
“How do you even style it? Must be so difficult.”
Not really. We wake up, fluff it, and slay the day.
It’s called low effort, high impact — look it up.
“You must have so few options to style your hair.”
Says someone who’s been doing the same three hairstyles since 2015.
Trust us, we’re not stuck. We’re just not boring.
“Are you a lesbian?”
Wait, what? So now hair length defines sexuality too?
Spoiler alert: it doesn’t. Neither does it define our vibe, our politics, or our playlist. We’re just women... with short hair.
“But… why???”
Because we wanted to.
Because we like it.
Because our hair, our rules.
Do we really need to hand out a PowerPoint every time we get a trim?
The Real Stories No One Talks About
-
“Everyone in school said girls only look pretty in long hair.”
Translation: Society has a very outdated beauty manual. Burn it. -
“This receptionist in coaching asked if I had thinning issues because I cut my hair short.”
No, sweetie. I cut it because I felt like it. Not because I had a crisis. -
“My gynecologist kept saying, ‘I would never do that to myself.’”
That’s great. And we would never let other people’s opinions decide our hair choices.
Let’s all stay in our own lanes.
And the All-Time Classic:
“At first, I thought you were a boy.”
Congratulations. You just told on yourself.
Next time, how about just saying hello?
Congratulations. You just told on yourself.
Next time, how about just saying hello?
And Then Came the Evolution Theorists
Yes, someone actually said this:
“To me and most men, short hair looks less feminine and hence less attractive.”
Thanks for the TED Talk, Darwin.
We didn’t cut our hair to please the male gaze. We did it to feel powerful, free, and bold.
We’re not trying to be your definition of “fertile and feminine.” We’re busy being fabulous.
Here's the Real Truth:
Short hair isn’t a rebellion.
It’s a statement.
It’s confidence that doesn’t hide behind curtain bangs.
It’s a woman saying, “I know who I am, and I don’t need inches to prove it.”
So if you’ve ever faced this barrage of awkward, unnecessary commentary for simply existing with short hair, just know: you’re not alone.
You’re fierce. You’re stunning. You’re iconic.
And your hair?
It’s short. Not your patience.
