Hair is never just hair; it’s a key part of who we are and how we present ourselves to the world – it has the power to change everything.
when I was in my early teens, and I felt the emotional tug once again of bemoaning my lack of hair as I watched perma-tanned Californians frolicking around with their bum-length, blonde beachy waves. The reflection I saw in the mirror changed; the way my coarse dark hair sat at my jaw in a stubborn bob, refusing to be tamed by anyone or anything felt indicative of where I was in my life. Everything was hard, difficult and so far away.
This is the thing with hair: it’s never just hair. It’s not just a natural part of our being; it’s a part of who we are. How we wear, style and embrace our hair becomes a part of our personal style, our personalities, and suddenly, with this long hair that I’d wanted for so long, I lost my identity. The bright bursts of colour I’ve always loved didn’t shine as well with my new long hair, my face looked sullen and sunken and, in pictures, I didn’t look like myself; I looked like a poor imitation.
With my tail between my legs and my hair around my shoulders, I marched to the hairdresser a couple of weeks ago and regaled her with my hair journey. “I’ve totally lost my identity,” I told her in the mirrored reflection. “My short hair was always who I was. It was just so me, but the pandemic changed everything. I don’t recognise myself with this hair; clothes just don’t look right on me anymore.”Finally, Naomi has grown to love her bob.
For the first time, the prospect of a lack of hair didn’t scare me. My hair journey has truly been a rollercoaster of epic proportions and somehow, in that leather chair, as my hair fell to the floor around me, I felt the gravity of the full-circle moment. How the hair that I’d hated – that felt like something I wanted to rip off – had become the key to the person I’ve been all along.
