Hair extentions go bye bye!

This week, I decided to make a drastic change, I took out the extentions that I have worn for 4 years on and off. I decided to cut my own hair shorter. It is not exactly Solange Knowles/Halle Berrry (circa 1995) short, but it is the shortest I have ever had it (gulp).

Now that my extentions have gone bye, bye I feel super naked without the flowing hair attached to my head. I feel quite unsexy. I have no idea how Rhianna and all the other women embracing short hair do it. I feel like my feminity has disappeared, and has been replaced with a slightly dare I say butchness. I do wonder if us women are engineered to think long hair is best- mmmmm food for thought!

I am finding that without my locks the boys are no longer coming out to play. The attention I used to get from men has diminished. It seems that they dont "dig" my short style. It is like they prefer the flowing extentions I once had rather than my own fabulous luxurious hair. Why is that? My extentions are fake and not my own. Men sure are strange creatures.

Saying that, it is not like I am not getting male attention, I do still get the odd whistle here and there but I now get a different type of man. My sister said "yeah now you do not attract the ghetto type of man who love all that fake hair, nails and Lord knows what else. Now you grab the attention of the more sophisticated type."- mmmmm!!!!

Lastly, I am sad that without my flowing locks, the boys no longer come out to play. Everyday I fight the urge to put them back in. I do love my short hairstyle, its cute, and its good to run my fingers through my hair without feeling the stitches of my attached extentions. So I will continue to be strong, at least for a while and enjoy the beauty of my own hair which, thank the heavens, actually stays on my head instead of decorating my newly carpeted floor like my hair extentions used too!!!-ewwwww right?!?
