When going through a major life change or wanting to change anything about myself I always end up starting with my hair. I either dye it or cut it, but somehow that always starts my change process. It all started when I found out my best friend was messing around with my boyfriend in the early days of high school when I was 14. I dyed my hair and from there continued to weave her out of my life and choose new friends and even dress a new way.
Later on whenever I would start a new chapter in my life, I would still start it with hair. Long and blond past my shoulders turned to short cropped and spiky black hair, which later turned to blue and then long and red for the fires of my ex. I even dyed it after finding out I was pregnant to mark the new page in my life, and gave myself bangs a few weeks after she was born to mark her coming into my life.
I know some people may be like me and change their appearance when they go through a change, but what kind of a change do you do? Is it only a mental change? Do you maybe rearrange your room or house as I used to do before I started messing with my hair instead? Do you buy yourself a new outfit or accessory or maybe even a new toy? Or am I just a freak of nature that associates change with hair for some odd reason?
