Okay, so I’ve been rocking the same hairstyle for, like, ever. I finally decided it was time for a change, and I went with a shoulder-length cut. Let me tell you, it was a journey, but I’m loving the results!
First off, I scrolled through tons of pictures online. I mean, who doesn’t do that, right? I was looking for something not too short, not too long, just that sweet spot right at the shoulders. I stumbled upon some layered looks that I really liked. I found that layers add a bit of volume and movement, which is exactly what my kinda flat, straight hair needed.
Then, I booked an appointment with my stylist. I showed her the pictures I’d saved, and we talked about what would work best for my hair type, which is, by the way, type 3a. That means it’s kinda curly but not like, super tight curls, you know? More like loose, S-shaped curls. Anyway, she assured me that a layered, shoulder-length cut would work great.
So, we started with the cut. She sectioned off my hair and started snipping away. It was a bit nerve-wracking seeing all that hair fall to the floor, but I trusted the process. She added these amazing layers that instantly gave my hair more life. It felt so much lighter and bouncier!
Styling Fun
- After the cut, she styled it with some product to enhance the curls.
- She diffused my hair to dry it, which helped to define the curls even more.
- I learned a few new styling tricks, like how to scrunch my hair to get more volume.
I walked out of the salon feeling like a new person! I mean, it’s just hair, but it made such a difference. I’ve been playing around with different styles since then. Some days I wear it straight and sleek, other days I embrace the natural curls. I even tried a center part, and it looked surprisingly good! I even braid my hair sometimes. It’s so versatile now.
Honestly, I’m so glad I took the plunge and got this haircut. It’s fresh, it’s fun, and it’s so much easier to manage. If you’re thinking about a shoulder-length cut, especially if you have hair like mine, I say go for it! You might just love it as much as I do.
