To ask has a haircut ever changed your life (lighthearted!)

[Beachrules]

I just wondered if anyone has ever had a haircut that has been dramatically different/changed their life/massively improved their self esteem?? I have had the same haircut style for 30 years. I have curly hair that no hairdresser has ever known how to cut and always ends up with them straightening it. I have finally booked an appointment with a 'curly hair' trained hairdresser and have convinced myself that finally getting a hair style that will suit me and my hair will improve my life no end - or am I getting ahead of myself....??

Yes. I was getting stuck in a rut with mine. I grew out a pixie cut and got it to shoulder length. Thought I would be happy but I found it hard to maintain and felt a bit frumpy and not my style. A month ago I booked into have it cut back short. I didn't really like it. One day in the garden hanging my washing out I had the overwhelming urge to shave my head and that's what I did ha ha. Granted not all off but extremely short! I immediately felt like I had reinvented myself and felt amazingly confident. I'm 48 years old, have osteoarthritis and fibromyalgia plus some other life changing conditions. I love to dress slightly different to others and now my hair is short I feel like the real me. Everyone has said how much they like it. My biggest critic is my mum and she absolutely loves it. But most of all I just feel so so much better xxx

No =D I haven't been too, too adventurous with my hair anyway...my preference is long hair (waist length), so that's how I've kept it for most of my life. However, I have had lobs, fringes...and more recently I decided to go from being a natural dark brunette to platinum blonde. Like, really platinum. Needless to say the bleach destroyed my long locks. So now I'm back to brunette...and a lob, which I don't like much. But I can tolerate it while it grows out long again.

Yes. Undercut. Bloody amazing, I can feel the breeze!

Weirdly not so much just the cut but going from a side parting to a centre parting and having it blunt but with no layers just made it look so full
