If there’s one thing that Pakistanis consider a “gehna” for their women, it’s their hair. Often considered their “crowning glory,” long tresses are a point of attraction in many Pakistani women. However, all that’s changing, slowly but surely. And it’s all thanks to certain women breaking the norm of socially accepted “hair goals.”

Meet Areej Zaka, a university student from Islamabad.

Last month, Areej did something incredible. She gave herself a buzz cut!

Undoubtedly, this is an incredibly brave move on Areej’s part. Ever since Areej has shaved off her long locks, she says her life has changed for the better.

She first announced the move on Twitter

Moreover, Areej listed all the benefits that come with having a buzz cut.

It’s a total time saver!

And not to mention super pocket-friendly.

While Areej and her family are super stoked about her new hairdo, a lot of the reactions she’s gotten aren’t the…best.

But she takes it all in her stride because she knows she looks GREAT!

And feels hella empowered in her buzz cut!

And honestly, we can’t disagree. What a beauty.

MAJOR PROPS to Areej.

Just…Stunning.

She’s truly short hair, don’t care goals! What do you guys think about her beautiful new look? Share your thoughts in the comments.
