A girl tends to get a haircut every three to four months on an average. Me, I tend to do it lesser than that only because I just don’t find the time to go and get it done. When I do, however, get it cut, I always land up doing something different. I don’t need a life change to induce my next haircut, it’s sheer boredom that makes me do it. So you can be sure that I’ve tried a bunch of different things. From a long bob to ombré and even keeping it curly – my hair has been through a whole lot. Considering how different it looks every time I leave the hairdresser’s chair, I still go through a whole bunch of emotions before and after it’s done. Here are the stages…

1. You haven’t cut your hair in a while, you need a change
