Short Hair Talk

I was browsing the blogs I follow, one of which is Chubby Bunnies. I love how so many woman of different sizes post their pictures, nude or dressed, for the world to see. A few days ago I was one the site and I saw a comment from someone asking about getting a pixie hair cut and how she is having trouble finding pictures of larger women with short hair. I quickly went to her Tumblr page and posetd a comment, telling her of my recent hair cut. When I read her comment about having trouble finding pictures I remember my search to find pictures of larger women with short hair. Let me tell you, it involves a lot of digging. Doing a simple Google search doesn't work.

I remember searching like crazy for pictures, trying to find personal accounts, anything! There were a few but what I did come across was a lot of people saying NO! No, you're fat you can't get short hair! It makes you look bigger!! Uhh whether my hair is short or long I'm fucking big. I was annoyed that even larger women would say No don't get short hair! Ultimately I decided to just go for it and cut my hair short. I still look for larger people with short hair and when I find a picture I bookmark it. I found that going through fat aceptance and plus size fashion blogs to be a great source for finding pictures of larger people with short hair.

I do not understand why larger people are told to not get short hair. Now, there are people, whether skinny or fat, who do not look good with short hair (maybe i'm on of them!) but what's wrong with trying it out? A person never knows what will look good on them unless they take the chance and try it. I'm glad my hairdresser didn't pull the "O no, you shouldn't have short hair because it will make your face fatter" speech. He went right in there and cut my hair! He said it will be a shock to me and that I may spend a few days doing double takes but he never once said "no you can't do this". If you come across a hairdresser that says no when you want to get your hair cut short, go somewhere else. There are many, many different short hairstyles, it's just a matter of finding one you like!

I hope that person who posted the question does decide to get her hair cut, I don't know what she looks like but I'm sure it will look great. There needs to be more pictures floating around of larger women with short hair, so I'm posting more pictures!!
