I am constantly beguiled by the power of a new haircut. It can completely change our perception of who we are, and transform us into our coveted alter-ego. It's not surprising then that 'change' often equals 'new haircut'. Whether it's a tough break up or dream job, our hairstylist is generally on speed-dial to smooth the transition.
This was precisely what prompted me to chop off my locks and get a lob (long bob)- the notion of change. I haven't had a break up or landed my dream job (I wish), but I am in a state of limbo at the moment as I make the transition from uni student to qualified worker. So, what better way to boost my confidence then a new 'do?
Quite frankly, I was sick of walking into my hair salon and saying 'the usual' (like I was at the local coffee shop), and while my long tresses were healthy and soft, they only enhanced the 'school-girl' look I so desperately tried to avoid. Enter the 'lob', a shorter cut that is instantly older, instantly smarter, instantly gratifying. And I can't wait to 'lob-through' the next phase of my life.
