Coloring My Hair Skyrocketed My Confidence

I was bright, vibrant, and had never felt better in my life!

I’m the type of person who’s always blended into the background. Just your average brown-haired gal. Other than my loud mouth...nothing has really made me stick out, besides my hair!

When you have purple hair it’s hard not to be the center of attention. Every time I went somewhere people would start looking at me.

I started thinking, DAMN! I must look good!

Then I realized, it was because I looked like a walking eggplant…and I freakin loved it!

Not only did my hair light up a room, but so did my personality. I gained so much self-confidence to the point where my smile was brighter than my hair. I felt so fucking fierce.

I had always been self-conscious about the way I looked, never thinking I was beautiful enough. While my insecurities didn't prompt my drastic color change, my hair certainly caused them to fade away. Every worry I had about the way I looked, vanished the same way my natural color did.

I ROCKED that bright AF hair.

I used to be afraid to ask for ketchup at a restaurant or walk into class late. I felt like with every move I made all eyes were on me. All I wanted to do was seamlessly blend in. But after coloring my hair I wasn’t afraid anymore. I didn’t feel like anyone was judging my personality because I knew damn well they were only looking at my hair.

Something to know about me is that I’m a huge control freak. I need to be in control of everything in my life. When I lose control my anxiety blows out of proportion.

You know what the one thing I could control was? You guessed it, MY HAIR!

Coloring my hair gave me both the physical, and mental, control I had needed.

I could do whatever I wanted to my head. And that freedom was exhilarating! I could wear it straight, curly, or change it to any color of the rainbow. And the tranquility this little piece of power gave me was insane.

I felt so powerful showing off my purple locks without a care in the dang world. Was I walking around looking like a troll doll? Yes I was, and I LOVED it.

This new sense of self-ownership made my confidence go up a shit ton. Once I broke the bond between me and my boring brown hair, anything was possible.

Coloring my hair a vibrant ass color has been the best experience of my life. I used to be so afraid to stick out in a crowd. I hated when people looked at me, with a burning passion. I never would have imagined that a little pop of color would brighten up my world so much.

I became the purple goddess I was meant to be!

If you’ve ever thought about coloring your hair I HIGHLY recommend it. Find a color you love and go to a salon, or d.i.y that shit at home!

I have colored mine and my friends' hair plenty of times in a dorm room and it's way cheaper than dropping $200; and the results were amazing (if I do say so myself)!

Experiment with something new! I’m not saying you have to dye your hair bright purple, but if you're feeling a little bland and want to change up your look, go for it!

Grab your bestie and a box of hair dye and have a blast!!!
