How A Hair Transformation Dramatically Lifts Your Confidence

There is one thing you can guarantee in life – change. No matter how carefully you’ve laid your plans, life will throw changes in your path.  It can be unsettling and exasperating. When something as volatile as your hair becomes completely under control, it makes for a very good day!

Most people enjoy the effect their hair has on their look and alter it regularly. Without a doubt, the state of your hair can affect your confidence tremendously. Let’s look a bit deeper into confidence and hair transformations:

Insecurities

When we refer to “having a bad state of hair” we do not refer to a bad blow-dry.  We are talking about, difficult, overly dry, thinning or receding hair scenarios, limp, oily hair or just not knowing how to cope with your particular hair.  Treatments can range from a good cut that works WITH your hair, hair massages for circulation, trims and hair masks, hair colouring (it improves the texture of hair), layering and texturing cuts, hair fillers or extensions, hair implants or stopping home remedies that don’t work.Your hair care professional will give you the best advice on the solution for you, which could combine the above examples.

Confidence

Have you seen the YouTube videos of homeless people getting haircuts and a shave? Isn’t their transformation, emotionally, just brilliant? But is that true or they acting for the camera as gratitude for a free haircut?

For centuries, humans have used new hairstyles, including strong colour changes, to signal a confident step into a new chapter of their life. It is actually not a superficial token.

Seeing a new you can help you step into a new mental zone, and having a good state of hair makes you feel more in control. It is your crown of beauty. You are guaranteed of many compliments that day and the following days, which is fantastic for self-esteem. Those dopamine levels keep rising.

Self-Esteem

Hair that looks strong and healthy will make your face look stronger and healthier. And this, in turn, will make those who observe you, including you looking in the mirror, believe you have become stronger and healthier. Having a sense of good health and strength is very good for your self-esteem and your immune system.

With your stronger, healthier, more-in-control outlook on life, you will feel more energised to do more things and confident to take more risks. We are not talking base jumping here. We are talking about applying for a new job, socialising, starting a vlog or doing that one thing that you have not had the confidence to try.

For many people, through the centuries, a hair transformation has been a part of starting again and showing you have found new respect and acceptance of yourself.

When you have confidence and a good self-image, you feel empowered. You get a touch of Superhero syndrome (yes we just invented that phrase).  When your amazing hairstylist cuts a style that suits your face shape and your character you will look good, you find it easier to look after, and it will fit with your outfits so much easier.

This applies to both men and women.

Long or short hair, shaved or curled, natural or dyed colour or a life-transforming hair transplant (See Elon Musk’s journey) there are a bunch of positive psychological benefits at the edge of your hair stylist’s scissors.
