For cosmetician Marcelo Costa, this change goes beyond a simple beauty trend:

“I have seen more and more women adopting short hair and this is more than just a simple trend. Cutting your hair is a gesture of freedom, self-confidence and originality. It is about letting go of standards, appreciating your face and celebrating who you really are. For a long time, long hair was almost synonymous with femininity, but today this idea is given a new meaning. Modern women realize that femininity lies in the attitude, not in the length of the hair. Short hair brings strength, lightness and modern elegance that is gaining more and more space in salons.”

Among the women who adopted the new look is influencer Merian Carter, who recently appeared in a brief, elegant look full of personality. She says that the transformation came at a moment of self-knowledge and internal change:

“Short hair marked a new cycle in my life. I always associated long hair with delicacy, but I discovered that short hair has its own power. It enhances the face, conveys elegance and shows a confident woman. I feel lighter, more confident, and most of all, more me.”

Before and after conversion photos show not only a visual change, but also a new placement. The current version of Merianne reflects a modern, sophisticated woman aware of her beauty, and is an honest portrayal of the movement that has taken over salons and social media.
