Before |
We all have emotional attachments,
sometimes for things that completely takes us by surprise. Like hoarders have
attachments to EVERYTHING, to no surprise; to MY complete shock, I was
emotionally attached to my hair.
When I chose my business name, I
thought I was FEARLESS through and through. However, when it came time to
deciding on my next look... I thought it would be cut and dry and easy to deal
with. After all I AM fearless... Right?
I thought I was.. until I sat in
the stylist's chair and contemplated chopping off all my hair for a bold, sassy
new look. I was hard for me to utter the words I was afraid of saying for so
long; "Just cut it!" But I did and here I am, with a modern new look
and a new attitude to pull it off.
There was a point when I didn't
think I had any kind of emotional attachment to my hair, but it appears as
though I was wrong. I nearly fainted, and my stomach did so many flips I
thought I would flip my lunch too.
Here are some tips to get through
the change if you decide to go through with it...
1. Bring
a support system, such as a friend or a family member.
2. Make
plans to go for drinks afterwards, whether it be to celebrate your new look or
drown your sorrows if you hate it.
3. Remember
that it takes 3 days to get used to a bold new cut.
4. Go
home, play with your hair and try different looks with it.
5. If
all else fails, remember... Hair grows!
I avoided mirrors like the plague, and I didn't feel comfortable taking a picture until the next day. Luckily,
I have grown to like my new cut. I have also proved to myself that I am more
fearless than I had originally anticipated.
Will I keep this new look? That
has yet to be determined.
