I had hair down to my butt then chopped it into a pixie. I loved it but it was a lot of upkeep and maintenance so I’m growing my hair out again. Doing a big chop tho can be very jarring for some people so be careful and I suggest going in stages. Unless you know you will like it don’t cut off a bunch
I think when ppl say it’ll look crazy just mean that sometimes when people do a big change it takes them time to get used to it and they hate it and freak out. Some people don’t care and adjust to the new change immediately🤷♀️ I got a bob, liked it but it was too long and took scissors to my hair but there’s no WAY I would’ve chopped my own hair off when it was mid back😭 but that’s just my perspective!!
