As Coco Chanel once stated, "A woman who cuts her hair is about to change her life."
There is something absolutely revitalizing about making a major hair change. I am beyond guilty of making impulsive hair decisions more than the average person but every different hair style for me usually signifies that I am attempting to make a difference in my life.
Half of the time when people tell me that I can't do something, I want to prove them wrong. Therefore I will not hesitate to make a dramatic change in my hair style.
Two years ago, someone told me I would not look good with light hair. I said bump that and bleached my hair. At the time, it was extremely long and I loved my long hair and my roots started showing.
Not long after I turned blonde, I dyed it back to black and chopped it off. It was the first time in years I had decided to take a plunge and go short. So for the last two years, I've been rocking the short hair.
Within this last year alone, I have changed my hair color a minimum of seven times (and I swear I take good care of my hair too...it's not as dead as one would imagine.)
However, I've maintained its length because I've been too afraid of cutting it any shorter than it has been. But I took another leap and chop-chop.
It's almost my fall semester as a sophomore and I could not be more excited. And while many people vow that their next semester will be different, I know that this semester will be a lot better than my first fall semester.
So much has changed within the last year alone and I would not ever want to go back. From here, my life can only get better. I know for a fact that this year will be a hundred times better because I'll be living with my best friends.
Moreover, when a woman changes her hair (or a man, let's be honest,) you know that something is about to go down. In movies, changes in hair represent strength or a new change or new step in life--look at Mulan or Gone Girl!
I know for some people that changes in their hair can be extremely therapeutic. I once cut a solid six inches of my hair off once because I was 1) stressed, 2) annoyed 3) done with having long hair getting in my paint. Afterwards, I felt like a new person that had short hair to get used to.
But then again, maybe I am not the best person to go to because I don't fret about bad hair cuts because I have the mindset of "it's just hair" and other people don't. But, I am a huge advocate of hair changes and going bold because hair grows back. Have fun with it while you can, honestly.
