I feel like I’ve had the same hair style for years. That is until about six months ago. Since then I’ve unleashed my inner Linda Evangelista and played around with a few different styles and even colors! A few months ago, I decided I would try the Victoria Beckham style – you know the one – it is shorter in the back and angles to a longer profile in the front.

I went into the salon ready for this drastic cut (for me anyway) and told my hairdresser what I wanted. While she was shampooing my hair, I started to get cold feet. “What if it looks horrible on me?” “Am I really that edgy?” “Short hair doesn’t really look good on me!” When the scissors came out, I blurted out my objections and talked my hairdresser into a very slight angle – almost unnoticeable. She reluctantly agreed and I was happy as I walked out. The next day as I was styling my hair, I realized that the cut was OK, but it didn’t really give me what I truly wanted. I had allowed myself to get scared and ultimately, I was not happy with myself for not going all the way.
