hair story
Oftentimes, your hair tells a story that coincides with who you are as a person. I am seriously all about the metaphors, and I think my hair story really says a lot about who I am. In times of stress or unease, it's really beneficial to reflect on the aspects of my hair that I've grown to love, so thank you for reading! I hope it inspires you to love your locks. My natural hair is dirty blond/light brown. I kept it natural for all of my childhood, up until I dyed it red in high school. That was the first time I'd done anything different color wise. Red was the best decision I had ever made! It fit my personality and made me feel so comfortable in my skin all throughout my teen years. But the real bulk of the story I wanted to explain was when I decided to get rid of my beloved red hair last year.
Last summer I did not feel like myself. So I decided to bleach it all away. Part of me was rationally thinking "it's just hair" but the other part of me was terribly insecure, especially when it came to family members asking why I got rid of my beautiful color, or why I wanted to ruin the texture. It's not super fun to hear that when you just made a change. But I knew I wanted pink hair at least once in my life, and what a fun adventure it would be! But it was hard. Without the red I kept questioning my look, and each new bleach brought more damage to my precious head of hair.
