As a minimalist, it implies that you follow all the principles of minimalism. The Internet is full of the followers of this trend, each claiming fervently that "he is the true minimalist". Little by little, it came the idea that wearing short hair defines you as a minimalist. When and how it appeared, no one knows, but most likely it took shape from much zeal and pride. Although I have adopted many of the principles of minimalism, this confused me completely, because I cannot conform to it no matter how much I try.

There are few women who can wear that kind of hair. If your facial features are symmetrical and the skin is very clean, then yes, you can consider yourself lucky. Otherwise, not. This thing with short hair that in the morning you only get up and then walk out of the door without a care… It's a matter of time, laziness, to save? - You live easier if you have short hair? Indeed, there may not be enough time, but I noticed that long hair can be arranged in different ways and much faster. Mine is of medium length and being short, I think it’s the right length for me. There is no daily fix only on days when it is very stubborn. Regarding styling products, I don’t use much, only on problematic days or when I have to attend an event in which my hair needs more holding. I trim myself once every three months and I’m very happy with how it looks now. I feel that hair has nothing to do with minimalism and I think it should be so. I prefer to have it long because it makes me feel feminine without much effort. More sensual… I love the feeling it gives me when it falls on my bare back. I love it when my husband plays with his hands in my hair. I like the moments when my son loosens it and then rearrange it as he likes, ruffled. I also love when my perfume impregnated in my hair spreads around, delighting others with its aroma. These moments are so pleasurable… I can’t experience these sensations with short

During my childhood, I was always aware of how different I was from most of the other girls.

" I was perpetually at a loss for words because, up until that point, the notion of having straight hair had not entered my mind.
