This is a selfie of me doing my hair this morning. When I wash it, it takes FIVE YEARS to dry!
When I was in elementary school, there was this woman at our church (and this was UMC, so not like a weird denomination or anything) that had curly red hair that nearly touched the floor. I always wanted to touch it LOL.
I recently cut like a foot off my hair and this post is making me think I probably look frumpy and old.
I actually think really long or excessively "youthful" hair can age people. I recently had dark purple hair and I decided instead of making me look young and fun, it made me look like a sad, aging hipster.

Stop it. Her long sausage curls were ridiculous. Those belong on dolls or 5 year olds.
As I pointed out at the beginning of the post, she is essentially a living doll. And, since she has basically allowed herself to be treated that way, I am not surprised people are acting like Barbie got a hair cut.
But, I do think it makes since that Catherine, the human, cut her hair, because she has that awful Christmas with the Queen coming up where she has to be at church at like 7 am. She probably figured she could get up at 4 am, instead of 2 am, to prep for it without the extensions. Also, there has been such a clamor about her doing more events - and I am convinced she doesn't do more because it takes so long to look as good as she does- so I think this is also part of why. I also tend to agree it was at least partially not her real hair, so this is likely a huge time saver overall.
I honestly think it would be easier to just present yourself naturally, endure the furor, and then move on it with. The blood princesses look like they rolled out of bed, ran a brush through their hair, and slapped on some BB cream 90% of the time. There's sniping about it, but Catherine is prettier than they are naturally, so she probably would endure less. Most of the other consorts, and future consorts, are as glam as Catherine is, but the one who had a son before marriage went from Barbie to normal pretty fast after she had children and secured her spot, the press moved on eventually, and she has since been able to concentrate on real issues. Like using her special royal visa to go pick up a baby for her friends.
