Freedom - I used to be told by my parents that my long straight hair down to my waist made me look tired, thinner in the face, and dragged me down.... but I never believed them, and loved my long hair.
It was only a few years later when I started wearing it up off my face, and then later cut it shorter, that people remarked left right and centre about how much fresher, cleaner, healthier and happier I looked.
I now believe them! Give it a try
