Short Hair Is Femine Too !!!

 

 

Recently I cut my hair to a pixie cut, I’mso glad I did because I love it but part of me was so scared to cut it thinkingit would be taking a part of my identy with it. So stupid !

I remember when I was in year 8 at school and all the girls had long beautiful hair and I wanted to be like them but I also saw my older sister and how lovely she looked with short hair. Anyway so I decided I wanted to be different (everyone already thought I was) I wanted something that made me that way but also made me feel unique in a good way. So all my hair came off and I went for the pixie cut for the first time . I loved it and finally felt good , that was until I got to school, I was the only one in the year who had short hair. I was classed a a boy and even more strange then before and suddenly something I was so proud of turned into a destruction . I promised myself I would never cut my hair again that short thinking my identy was held there. 

Girls had long hair , girls I wanted to be were the perfect weight if you were a girl you had to be a certain way . A way that I wanted to be while still being me , where was the balance?

As I grew older and the fashions changed and I saw more and more people with short hair, different styles and my hair grew out and I would colour it going blonde , multi-coloured going only to the shortest of a bob cut still to scared thinking who would I be .

When I came out and started to go to bars I then had another thought in my mind ,

Where did I fall on the LGBT spectrem ?

If I had short hair was I still femine ?

All these things running though my head but I knew I still wanted to cut my hair see if things had changed since I was in school.

Five years later and I am finally comtable to feel like my identity is not attached to who I am on the outside but the inside , I can still be a femine , wear dresses etc with a pixie cut . Thinking how stupid I ever was to think that way.  Identidy is still such a big issue for people . How people see you and so on .

But who you are isant focused or held by hair or style and that is something i’ve learned .
