Hairy Issues

A bit more of my personal advice to other SBs. Take it for what it is, and if you disagree I would love to know why!

I already mentioned by thoughts on an SBs wardrobe. Now let's talk about more permanent image things. Of course, there is an SD for any type of SB, but this is what has worked for me and I think it's pretty 'mainstream,' or at least as mainstream as you can get in the sugar world!

I have pretty long hair. I have kept my hair long because men seem to like long hair. Like any college student experimenting with their identity, there have been times I've wanted some trendy cut. But I haven't let myself give in.

I did recently cut it a bit shorter. This is for very similar reasons as to why I kept it long. I am entering the professional work force, and long wavy hair looks young. Just as I had long hair to perpetuate the SB/SD image, I have now changed my look to encourage my image as a young professional.

This has a lot to do with girl style vs guy style. Girl style might be that Carey Mulligan pixie cut (by the way, how good is 'An Education?'), but most guys just won't get it. Long, flowy hair is in. Just ask all the celebs who get extensions!
