My long hair was annoying. It was too thick and heavy and hot and I kept tying it to get it out of the way. One day I decided I had had enough and headed to a salon to have it chopped off.
As the hairdresser snipped off my locks, I wished that all things in life were as easy to change as your hairstyle.
Snip… goodbye, heartbreak. Snip… so long, failure. Snip. Snip. Snip.
Now I understand why they say this is therapeutic. It’s nice to imagine all your problems falling away with your old hair.
New hair, new life.
Maybe. Hopefully.
And Easter means new life too! Talk about perfect timing.
It feels great to have a lighter head of hair. The last time I had short hair was five years ago, when I first arrived in Singapore.
I really hope I don’t have regrets about this. But as the wise Sabrina the teenage witch once advised to her best friend, “Hair grows.”
And that’s it, I’m keeping this post as short as my hair.
This post is part of the A to Z Challenge, a blog hop that goes through the alphabet for all the days of April except Sundays.

Love the fresh look. I freaked out the next day after snipping for short hair (I never had short hair since 13 years old), but told myself too "Hair will grow." Enjoy your new look!

Your new hair looks stunning! Bet it would look gorgeous with some light waves too! (circa Dannii Minogue's wavy bob) xo

Yeah I freak out sometimes too, but I will enjoy it, especially since it's so damn hot in Singapore now!

Thanks, babe! xx

The short hair looks adorable! It's definitely weird when you first make the change – I remember I spent half a day hiding in my bed because I wanted my pixie cut to grow out instantly (alas) – but they're so unique! (Also, *wave* I'm returning from my sojourn at the ends of the earth, where I was avoiding all social media/blogging)
Dee says
Thanks! The blogosphere/social mediasphere welcomes you back with open arms!
