'Short hair feels more me': 26 women share their hair before and after a big cut.

We're not going to lie. Sometimes long hair is just so much easier to deal with. 

You can throw it up in a top knot, pull it back in a ponytail or just let it hang out with all its weighty texture, and not have to worry about curls and cowlicks sitting weird.

Watch: Have a lil nosy at some short celebrity hairstyles we love. Post continues below.

But! There's just something about short hair. It always feels so fun! Exciting! Frenchy! Stylish! Just more 'you', y'know?

If you've been flirting with the idea of going shorter, but you're still on the fence, stick around - because we asked women to share their hair before and after a Seriously Big Chop.

"Before and after circa 2017. I’m doing the chop again soon, but this time I'll go for more of a flat, one-length cut than a textured bob. This was more of its time."

"Best thing I ever did. It's changed everything - not a single regret. So many woman say, "Oh I'm too scared! It would never suit me", but women need to learn that you wear the hair - the hair doesn't wear you!"
