in a patriarchal society, many women were taught to believe that femininity is tied to the length of our hair ā that longer somehow means softer, prettier, or more womanly.
and although I love my long hair, cutting it made me feel free.šļø
free from feeling like my femininity had to fit societyās definition of beauty instead of my own. because how i present myself does matter to me ā not from a place of seeking validation, but from a place of self-expression, self-care, and feeling aligned in my mind, body, and spirit. i love feeling beautiful, grounded, feminine, and fully myselfā¦ and iāve learned that energy doesnāt come from the length (or color) of my hair, it comes from within. femininity is an energy. (and hey, hair grows backš¤·š¾āāļø)
and listen - this short hair has been a blessing in some of this spring/summer heat, with hot flashes, and working over hot wax pots and steamers in my skincare studio. š
š
either way, i still feel soft. i still feel s*xy. i still feel deeply feminine.
this is your reminder that whether you wear your hair long, short, or in between ā your energy is what people feel first. your confidence. your essence. your presence. not the length of your hair. so donāt forget to work on that also.
sis, wear your hair in the way that makes you feel the most free, the most aligned, and the most like yourself. that is the real glow. āØ
if this resonated with you, share it with another woman and join me for more conversations on self-love, healing, feminine energy, and aging vibrantly in mind, body, spirit, and skinšāØ
