Everything is little with my short hair

28th November 2021, was the day when I went to my nearby salon and had a haircut. Before it, my hair was quite long. I wanted short hair since last year but I was not courageous enough to finally cut them. The main reason behind cutting them was that they were falling tremendously and I was not able to cure them with any massage, any shampoo, or any other formula. Many people recommended that you should cut your hair once after that your hair will be normal. I am desperate to see the desired results and see whether this decision will work or not?

But whatever it was, I am here to share my few day’s experiences with you. When I was in the saloon, the girl in the saloon washed my hair. After that, I sat on the chair where the procedure was to be done. I think they were thinking that I’ll ask for some step cut or a straight cut. The barber asked, “ Which type of cut would you like to have?”

Even I did not have the clarity about my hairstyle (except that I wanted them to be short), so I said, “ I need short hair. Look at my face and cut my hair. Please try the style that would suit my face.” And everyone in the room was saying that it is not easy to lengthen your hair, it takes so much time, it needs guts to cut your hair, etc.

The barber took the scissor and cut my pony first. When he gave that first cut, even I was like “ Oops! Nothing can be done now.” I started looking at myself in the mirror. The barber was quite fast of course. It took him about 15 to 20 minutes to give me that hairstyle. I looked at myself and asked the barber again that whether this hairstyle is looking good on me or not?

The girl working there said, “ Yes. It suits you.” Everyone there had the same opinion. I paid the charges and came out. I was feeling nothing till that time. The real story started after that.

I went to the bathroom to have a bath and as usual, I wanted to bring my hair to the front to wash them but a smile came on my face and I told myself that Rajni, you have short hair now.

I wet my hair and realized that it was just a matter of one mug of water. I used a very little amount of shampoo that day. Again, I washed off my hair with a little amount of water. My hair took very little time to get dry.

Now I just had to pick the comb and here you go. You have combed your hair with no time ( earlier I used to take at least 20 minutes to comb them). The time I started to give massage to my hair and the amount of oil I started using was not less than a wonder for me. Although I had seen the males of my family doing this, I had never experienced it myself.

On that day I was telling my brother that now I understand how you people with short- hair feel. No hair buns, no pony, no long time to comb them, wash them within a few minutes, etc.

But after a few days, I am feeling different. It also depends upon the type of hair you have. I don’t have silky hair, so when I wake up in the morning they stand straight, and even comb can do nothing to them. I need to either wash them or wet them to get them back into shape. If I don’t comb them, knots start forming there like it used to happen in my long hair ( although it does not take so much time to plain them, it happens to me even now). I keep combing them with my hands as well to keep them in shape throughout the day.

But in the end, I can’t deny this thing that these days I am feeling lighter, happier, and less in confusion that how I’ll wash my here and when I’ll wash my hair(lol). I have not started wishing this thing yet that when I’ll get long hair back like other women in my neighborhood and try different hairstyles and hope that I’ll not have this feeling in future also.

So this was the story of my new-new short hair. I hope that if someone who had long hair earlier and got them shorter has some story too. It is also possible that they might be feeling like me.

Thank you :)
