Many of us women have been taught to define our worth in terms of our femininity, which is then used to gauge our attractiveness, which then affects how much we value ourselves as people. Unsettlingly important in this is hair.

Hair often defines the rigid gender norms; however, as we head into a new decade, many women feel like leaving all of this behind. If you believe that having long hair only adds to the pressure of needing to be attractive enough to meet social expectations, cut it short. Cut off your long hair if you're sick of maintaining it to appease others. Being a version of oneself that society accepts is not our responsibility, and that's exactly why hairstylist Kristina Katsabina takes it upon herself to give her clients short hairstyles based on their preferences and style.

In an earlier interview with Bored Panda, Kristina gave us some insight into the short hair trend as a whole and provided some about her client preferences.

"A lot of women in their 30s are either working in a field they do not like or they have lost all of their inspiration to keep moving forward. It happened to me too; at some point, I lost all of my motivation to keep moving forward and deepen my knowledge when it came to my profession at the time. Before becoming a full-time hairstylist, I was teaching Spanish and also worked as a translator and choreographer."

Many women are exploring short haircut styles and finding inspiration for the next year of 2022. Cutting your hair is never an easy decision since for many people, it has sentimental importance or even touches on sensitive subjects like religious views. However, perhaps fashion-forward hairstyles like the pixie cut, short bob, or even Chanel cut can motivate someone to make changes in their lives. After all, great transformations always begin with the hair!

With that being said, additionally, Kristina saw a rise in the demand for "Bixie" haircuts. A short hairstyle known as a "bixie" is frequently described as a cross between a mullet, a pixie, and a bob. This specific haircut is a new style that combines a sophisticated, effortless look with the best lived-in looks and classic sophistication. It looks well on any lady, regardless of age.

I feel like the short haircut makes her face look even shorter. It instantly changed her face shape to much more round.

It's a great feeling not to be afraid to change your hair to something totally different, as many times as you want. Luckily it grows & we can do it lots of times. So often we get stuck in one style & become overly attached to it, as if it security & self confidence lives in it. It SO doesn't. It feels freeing to make a big change in color or style & realize that you're still you & that your confidence, power & security never abided in your hair & those feelings have increased! It somehow gives a feeling of power. Especially with a short cut, so much less fuss time with drying & styling. You realize just how much of a pain in the neck all that was. Too often we become slavishly dedicated to the whole process. A good short cut makes getting ready in the morning into a couple minutes, sweet!

No, what you love in the second picture is her smile. The hair is a disaster. For sure, she's going to grow it back.

There is a hairdresser who is doing the short hair in most of these that doesn't want women to look feminine and wants them to look 20 years older

I think that the new haircut makes them look more comfortable somehow. Maybe matches their personality more?
