What Is It That Makes You Want Super-short Hair?
Maybe you love to train at the gym or play a sport, and you’re tired of your ponytail whipping back and forth. Maybe you have a new baby and would enjoy snuggling more without the accidental hair pulling.

Cut a Bit at a Time… or Lop It Off in One Fell Swoop
If you have very long hair that dips below your waist, going straight to a pixie cut can feel a bit extreme, and that’s ok! If you’re looking for an extreme change, go ahead and hack it all off at once - but if a baby step feels more your speed, start by taking off a bit of length at a time.
Going from extremely long hair to short hair can be a big shift (just wait till the first time you wash it and notice how little shampoo you need now), and it’s up to you how you want to make that change: dipping your toe in first and getting used to the feeling, or taking a running leap straight in. There’s no ‘wrong way’ to go after the style you want, whether it’s all at once or a little bit at a time.
