"  It took me years to cut my hair, although anyone who knows me can tell you that I&amp;#039;ve always said that I would one day make the big chop. I know short hair isn&amp;#039;t something you typically see often with Latinas, but I didn&amp;#039;t care \u2014 I&amp;#039;m turning 30 this year! I feel very fearless in the sense that it&amp;#039;s just hair. I think a lot of us have now experienced and experimented with weaves, so before cutting it off, I said to myself, if I hate it, I can just use some clip in extensions and I&amp;#039;ll be fine. If I love it, I will rock it and it will be something new and daring. Now that it&amp;#039;s done, I&amp;#039;ve never been happier. I&amp;#039;m super excited because now I&amp;#039;m growing healthy hair. So many of us Latinas hold on to damaged hair because we want to keep it long. That&amp;#039;s a big mistake. Scraggly, fried ends don&amp;#039;t look good, ladies!! Because of years of bleaching my hair was not in the best shape. Now it&amp;#039;s super healthy and shiny. It&amp;#039;s also a lot less maintenance so I can just get up, throw some product in it, and go. I love that my short do makes an outfit that could have been very &amp;quot;pretty girl&amp;quot; look edgy and fun. I feel like this style is a lot more chic and fashion forward. Try a short do, ladies. I think you&amp;#039;ll love it. Follow Adrienne on Twitter. PHOTO: Getty Images "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
