I'm thinking about cutting my hair short, but I'm worried it might change the natural color or somehow make it darker. Is there any truth to this idea, or is it just a myth? My aunt once said her hair got darker after she cut it, but I'm unsure if that would happen to me too since I've never done it before. What do you think?
