The View From Hair – I Mean HERE

Sarah posted this morning on the Fox Facebook, sharing the difference in her hair over the last 8 months.

Which made me think about the changes my hair has gone through. 65% of Women have changed their hairstyle since the beginning of COVID. That’s a LOT!

After a year of letting the grey take over and embracing the natural look, just after my birthday I coloured it again.

I was desperate for change and needed something to pick me back up again.

Over the last few months, I have pinned it up, pulled it back. I’ve cut it myself, even if I know better. I didn’t do so badly the first time. The second time I butchered my bangs so badly, I was afraid to leave the house. Not even lying. Some things you can’t fix. You just have to wait it out.

I think our hair says a lot about how we’re feeling about ourselves and life in general. As vain as it sounds. It represents different moods. Different emotions/ feelings. It’s been a way to cope and gives us something to be happy about. Days where I don’t think I brushed it or did anything. Some days you pull it back and just get it out of your face. Other days, when you’re feeling a bit more like a normal human, you might actually take care to do something with it.

Just hair. There is no such thing. All I know is, if I want to embrace the natural look again, I have to start all over again. Sigh.

April – the beginning of staying at home – still smiling
