1. Long and Ombre, side bangs (~8th grade)

What do you want to be when you grow up?

I’m not sure. My favorite subjects are Math and Latin. I also kinda like History. Maybe I will work at a museum one day! Who really knows!

What’s with the side bangs?

I got this idea in my head that I wanted bangs so I gave my self bangs and now I am growing ou bangs that is all. No more questions please.

 

2. Asymetrical bob, navy blue (~freshman year)

Why the change?

I’m on a new path. I just bought bronzer and three pairs of high heeled booties. I am becoming a woman. Watch me flourish.

Any personality changes for highschool?

Nah. Still a choir nerd. 

 

3. Lob, natural color, bangs (~sophmore-junior year)

Bangs again?

Ya, I know. I watched a YouTube video at 1 am on how to cut bangs and then I cut my bangs. *shrug* My mom took me to the salon to get it fixed and the hair dresser laughed at me (again), but said it was “passable”, so I guess I am a professional now??

Any idea on what you want to do with your life?

NOPE. Maybe Archeology? I’m doing volunteer fieldwork this summer, hopefully I like it!

 

4. Lob, natural color, no bangs (~senior year)

So, back to basics?

NO. IT IS MY TIME TO SHINE. I AM BEAUTY.

So I’m guessing you’re trying for a glow up?

YES MA’AM. I’m wearing full face every day with perfect hair and PROCRASTINATING ON MY COLLEGE APPS :)

 

5. Pixie, natural (~freshman fall)

WHYY??

When my mom was in college she cut off all of her hair. I was kinda scared to do it but I figured if my mom can do it, so can I!! #momspiration

AND?

OKAY MAYBE GOING TO COLLEGE IS A BIG CHANGE AND I WANT TO BE A NEW ME. OK.

 

6. Pixie, BLEACH BLONDE (~freshman spring)

Umm?

Ya. My friend did it. I’m cool now. Don’t talk to me.

What do you want to do with your life?

MEDIA. MARKETING. SOCIAL. NETWORKS. LIKE. COMMENT. SUBSCRIBE. I’M GONNA DO IT ALL.

 

7. bUZZED (~sophmore fall)

How do you choose a new hair style?

I’ve come to realize that it all starts with an obession. I see something, it inspires me, and I become so obsessed with it, I must manifest it on my head. It be like that sometimes.

Are you ~edgy~ now?

As per usual, although I make edgy changes, I remain my normal, boring self. I still be chillin’. Still vanilla af.

 

8. Growin’ her out (~sophmore spring)

What have you leanered since you started doing dramatic, and sometimes impulsive things to your hair?

I think what I’ve learned that I can do anyth length that accents my square jaw, but I am happiest with hair on the shorter side. No hair style scares me anymore. Going bald does not scare me anymore. Mama loves a tangle-free life <3 Overall, I guess that means I like simplicity. The less I need to do to my hair, the better I feel, and the happier I am.

What’s next in the hair department?

I don’t really know. I’ve flirted with going blonde again but bleached and colored hair just has so much up keep I have do to maintain it, so it seems less likely every day that that is what I’ll do. My new obsession is BANGS. I NEED BANGS. Yes, history is about to repeat itself ;)
