Why do girls suddenly cut long hair?

When a woman starts to cut her hair, understand that there was a storm, it came and passed.

Why didn’t you know? You were not there, in this wind, in these waves, in the midst of this tide, in the waves—you were not there.

You didn’t even notice. Did you ask for a cut? He said yes, you appreciated it, he received it — why are you thinking now?

Yes, you must have forbidden. Do not cut, long hair looks good, it is thick, suit now, I don’t know how it will look, poetry will be recited on long hair, Bengali women will be told, will you be threatened with change?

Change—that’s it. When he didn’t walk on something and the bus moved here and there, he also walked. This hair has not been cut, understand that the last five years have been cut, it has fallen, the burden has been lifted from the shoulders.

But you cannot understand, see, there are many ways for you to fight the situation. You can run away, you can hide your face in your arms or run away on your feet.

He had no option. You still don’t understand. So maybe you have never stood in a place where you have no options, regrets and you want to leave with a shake of the head.

To wake up the next morning, to face new challenges. Why did the story drag on for so long?

Because questions are sometimes wrapped up in answers you want to hear. Now who can explain to you that that’s all, the heart is full. Why is your heart full you ask and the answer is what you don’t want to hear.

You know how upset she was the first time she got her hair cut? He didn’t even know it, but long hair had become his identity.

Are you a girl? The hair will be long and thick. Do you have any idea what fear he felt in the first seconds of denying this ‘obvious thing’ and how much pain he felt afterwards? You have no idea how powerful she felt three days after the haircut.

Why can’t Delilah feel powerful in a boy cut when Samson’s power can be in her hair?

It was his system reset, the alarm, the signal, when did you hear? Can you remember now? Yes? Connect – Connect the links and the story will unfold.

I am not applying this formula to every woman, I am lucky, my own mother’s hair was always boy cut, I see the world through her eyes.

One may also like short hair because long hair has more volume. A busy woman doesn’t have time for this pampering. In the morning the head is washed and the roots are wet till night, the neck is heavy, the head is heavy.

This is their personal problem — and why did you go around carrying it on your head?

It could also be that she doesn’t want to carry Mukhwa’s ‘femininity’ around the clock. Do you know the weight of all the scales on which you judge a woman?

The shoulders get calloused, the shins crack at night, and the feet — they need salt water. You don’t know anything.

You only see what is shown to you. What you think is what you have been seeing for centuries.

Just say that everyone will look at you on the way, would you like it or reach the destination quietly without being noticed?

Sometimes the reason is just that there are so many things that you don’t understand the purpose of. Good looks are not good.

So where was I? When a woman starts to cut her hair, understand that there was a storm, it came and passed. It could be the break up of a relationship, the beginning of a new life, it could be coming out of a trauma or simply wanting a change.

Whatever it is, and as deep as it is simple in action. You hardly ever understand!

Just remember that Delilah walks around without hair like Mina outside the cage, free—as free as Mahsa Amini is now.
