Searching for one's "hair identity" is a true soul search. Some were lucky enough to have found the hair style, color and cut that best suits them, but for many others, it is never ending journey. You probably have broken up with many hair stylists along the way, until you found the one that was daring enough to abide by your ever-changing imagination. If you are a hair chameleon, you can relate to this.
1. You get asked all of the time what your natural hair color is.
After going from blonde to brunette, and then back again, it's only natural that this is the first question that may come to mind.
2. And you truthfully don't even know what it is anymore.
But sometimes you wonder if you want to go back to it? I don't get it either.
3. Your hair stylist probably thinks you're crazy.
But who else can accidentally get their hair temporarily dyed purple and not cry?
4. But you searched high and low to find the hair stylist who is also crazy enough to go with all of your plans.
If you try to talk me out of anything, I'm out.
5. The card your hairstylist keeps that holds every color you've ever received increases with every visit.
And she always knows the perfect concoction of colors to add to it next. It's like hair wizardry.
6. Forget DIY projects, recipes and future wedding planning—your only use for Pinterest is your "Hair" board.
For your "lob" phase, your "bronde" phase and remember that time you thought you were going to be a red head?
7. Your Instagram feed is filled with a picture from every time your hair changed.
Well, maybe not "every time" because that's just too much work.
8. You consistently wonder if new people you once met think that you've dropped off the face of the planet.
"I didn't even recognize you!"
9. Photos are never an accurate portrayal of what you look like.
I don't even look like the person on my author page's default photo anymore, but at the same time, I'm too lazy to change it. So here we are.
10. Your Google history contains every article known to man about all shades in your desired color family that go with your skin tone and eye color.
Before this obsession, I didn't know a thing about warm and cool skin undertones.
11. There is always that one moment where you swear that you will not change your hair color again.
I don't think I even believe myself anymore when I say this.
12. Yet, there you are six months later, back in the chair.
"So, what we did last time, we're not doing anything like that."
