As someone who rocked a pixie cut for a decade before having children, I hate the “mom hair” stigma attached to short hair, and this article perpetuates it. Unlike the author, I am not blessed with the kind of hair that can look effortlessly windblown when grown long and not washed and heat-styled daily. Pre-pixie, my hair was an endless source of embarrassment and a terrible waste of time. I tried growing it out when my first child was born, and found that long hair dragged my face down and aged me by ten years. I am most myself with short hair, and I am tired of people judging me as a frumpy mom or making assumptions about my $e*ual orientation simply because I have short hair. I can’t stand Kris Jenner, but I think her short hairstyle pictured in the article as a sad example of mom hair is more youthful and flattering than fried long hair would ever be on her. The expectation that all women should demonstrate their individuality by having long flowing hair is ironic. It’s also an example of the same toxic thinking that expects women to demonstrate how “fun” they are by eating six hot dogs at a baseball game without gaining an ounce. I’m over it.
