Short Hair Don't Care

To chop or not to chop? That is the question I have faced time and time again. In the grand scheme of things it seems like a petty problem, but I'm constantly going back and forth between wanting to cut my hair short or grow out to Pocahontas proportions. Here's some background info about my hair: it's curly (really curly), super thick, and prone to frizz/damage/dryness. My hair has really only been short once in my life and that was my junior year of high school. It really wasn't a good look. I wish I had a picture to prove it, but I avoided cameras at all costs during that time. 

I really love long hair. I think it's so much more versatile and just a lot more flattering to my face. But then I see a picture of the gorgeous Emma Watson and can't help but think about how great it would be to have short hair.

How gorgeous is she? Admittedly, I don't have her face/bone structure so I could never in a million years pull off her pixie. The shortest I would ever go is shoulder length. Which, to most people, isn't really short at all. That's just my comfort zone! I am truly envious of girls who can pull off a pixie cut though. It takes serious confidence to pull of a boy-ish cut like that so I salute you!

Kate Middleton is my hair idol. Just everything about her hair is perfect: the cut, the color, the shine, the bounce. It's what I strive (unsuccessfully) to achieve every morning! Every time I think I want short hair, I see a picture of beautiful Kate and I immediately run to my bathroom to do a hair mask and swallow some biotin supplements.  

While I'm usually convinced I want to stick with my long hair, I hate to admit that I can sometimes be swayed by celebrity influence. I'm always Google-ing to see who's chopped off their long locks this time. Yesterday it was Taylor Swift! I was pretty shocked when Taylor cut her hair because she's pretty famous for her long, blond, curls. But once I saw the change I think she made an awesome choice. Check it out:

How adorable does she look with her new 'do? I'm pretty obsessed with it, I think it suits her face and vintage-girly-glam style so perfectly! Now I'm conflicted again because I want to look as cute as Taylor does! But sadly, hair like this doesn't have quite the same effect on me. *cries* The internet also exploded after Taylor Instagramed a video of her chopping her hair off. I wouldn't have quite the same audience, but I think the people in my life would be equally shocked if I did decide to cut my hair! For now, I think I'm just going to keep taking my biotin and drooling over the celebrities who can pull of a shorter 'do.

Also, in case you were wondeirng (and I know you were) this is what T-Swift would look like if she cut her hair like Justin Beiber. Honestly, sometimes the internet really scares me.

 I think I might be crazy but it doesn't look that terrible, right? So tell me, do you rock short hair or long locks? Which one do you prefer? Discuss in the comments, I need advice! Send me pics of some of your hair inspiration via Twitter! I'm always looking to be hair-inspired.
