"Why don't you ever keep your hair short?"
The husband asked,
"Why? You don't like my hair long?"
"Taklah, just curious"
To be fair, I've always kept my hair shoulder-length or longer - any less and I might risk looking like a 10-year old. Last I cut my hair? A few months after finding out I was pregnant, sometime last year.
That was fun, because my husband ended up likened me to..Arya Stark.
T.T
So in simple words, I like my hair long. All the years in Japan was consisted of visits to the salon probably once every 3 months, just to get some trims or when I felt like having bangs, or when I felt like I needed to re-touch the roots.
(Would never say this out loud, but I miss my colored hair! There I said it.)
And the climate in Japan is definitely meant for long hair, because my hair had never look so luscious and shiny. Which I think thanks to Kerastase, too.
But recently, after the husband's remark - I started to view things differently. Started noticing how carefree my colleagues with short hair look - as though they woke up like that, no hassle, just comb a bit here and there and off you go. And their hair never goes out of place, throughout the day.
For a mom of 8-turning-9-months old baby, this sounds just perfect to me.
Oh, and the power of Instagram! This came on my feed a while ago, and I couldn't stop admiring it.
The Yasmin Hani's hair.
So I did it.
I finally cut my long hair!
When I told the stylist, she asked my a few times to reconfirm, even saved some inches afterwards before the "final" cut. Shahrul asked me if I was serious, too.
But glad I took this brave step. Head feels lighter than ever! Now I know why Audrey Hepburn, Posh Becks, Twiggy, J-Law, Rihanna and Natalie Portman all had pixie cut phase in their lives. Though eventually I have to rely on headbands to keep my (short) hair in place at home, at least now I have a reason to finally own a headband collection bahaha.
And don't worry, Rayyan was there the whole time, he still recognizes me XD
