Transitioning from long hair to short hair can be a difficult decision that needs much thought.
Different women have different reasons why they go short. For some, it might be due to health reasons, for others it might be because they want to save a receding hairline.
Fashion designer and stylist Odirile 'Odi' Tlhoaele told TRUELOVE that short hair is the go-to look for maintaining a 'baddie aesthetic'.
"Shorter hair makes your face stand out. Not a lot of people can rock short hair. So, if you are able to [rock short hair] it shouts, 'oh, she's dangerous like that'," Odi explained.
Besides looking like a style risk taker, Odi adds that short hair is more affordable and easier to maintain.
She did, however, highlight that South Africa has minimal short wig styles as compared to the U.S. and she looks forward to hairstylists coming up with new short wig ranges.

What has become more dominant with short hair is the various colours used to give it that extra flair.
Whether dyed or bleached, women are not afraid of having their crowns stand out with colour. Many celebrities have explored shorthair and have played around with colour.
