To all those guys saying that women must have long hair, please mind your own business and let women decide on their own unique and individual looks.
I have short hair now. It looks like a boy’s hair cut as people say. Yes if you go to the hair salon, they will say it is a boy’s hair cut. I did not know that hair cuts were gender specific. I can never understand what is the harm in women having short hair.
My hair is slightly shorter and thinner at the sides. My colleague commented on whether I had been to the Tirupathi temple. I said no. He said my hair looks shorter at the sides and he thought I had cut my hair there. I was shocked. I did not know what to say.
Who makes these rules that women have to have long hair? I have thin hair and short hair cut makes my hair look fuller. But that does not make me a man. What about the people who have severe hair loss or are suffering from cancer? If they have short hair, like Sonali Bendre now, people make a big deal out of it.
My friend has this short hair (which people called boy’s cut). She was supposed to get married. Obviously everyone around her wanted her to grow her hair or wear a long hair wig. My friend refused. She could not understand the harm in getting married with short hair. She looked like the most elegant bride on her wedding day and I was so happy for her.

UP Boards Topper Prachi Nigam was trolled on social media for her facial hair; our obsession with appearance is harsh on young minds.
Prachi Nigam’s photo has been doing the rounds on social media for the right reasons. Well, scratch that- I wish the above statement were true. This 15-year-old girl should ideally be revelling in her spectacular achievement of scoring a whopping 98.05% and topping her tenth-grade boards. But oddly enough, along with her marks, it’s something else that garners more attention – her facial hair.
While the trolls are driving themselves giddy by mocking this girl who hasn’t even completed her school yet, the ones who are taking her side are going one step ahead – they are sharing her photoshopped pictures, sans the facial hair, looking nothing less than a celebrity with captions saying – “Prachi Nigam, ten years later”.
Doctors have already diagnosed her with PCOD in their comments, based on photographic evidence. While we have names for people shamed for their weight – body shaming, for their skin colour- racism, for their age- age shaming, for being a female- sexism, this category of shaming where one faces criticism for their appearance has no name. With that, it also has zero shame attached to it.
