I got a totally different haircut once while I was away on holiday years ago, pre-Covid, and it was a relief to get comfortable with it before arriving home. I think the regular people who know me can get just as locked-in to how they think I should look as I might do, and it was liberating to break away from expectations. So periodically I switch things up, just to stay flexible.

Right now, it's growing out my bangs and wow has that been frustrating. Wispy hair in my eyes all the time, barrettes that slide around or get caught and break off hair, headbands that get too hot. But I've persisted and am pleased I did.

I wish it wasn't so 'important' but hair matters to how I feel about myself. I don't mean perfect hair. Hair that looks sporty, willing to take a chance, experiment with colour, a different way to part it or hold it back . . .
