While countless memes and posts credit outgrown layers and split ends as the impetus to wield scissors after months of\u00a0salon closures, there are deeper reasons behind the sudden influx of\u00a0#quarantinecuts.<\/div>\n
The truth is, many people \u2014 whether they know it or not \u2014 are seeking more than a simple trim.<\/div>\n
\u00a0From claiming control and processing trauma to engaging in playful experimentation or chasing the thrill of a \u201crebellious\u201d act, there are multiple emotional and psychological triggers that prompt someone to make such a spontaneous change.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
\n
Take Meghan Montaner, for example. The director of education for a performing arts theater in Northborough, Massachusetts chopped more than six inches off her hair in a spur-of-the-moment cut a few weeks back.<\/div>\n
\u201cIt was just a couple days before my birthday and I was tired of feeling cooped up,\u201d she says.<\/div>\n
\u00a0\u201cMy husband had gone out to run an errand, I had gotten my son to bed and I had 30 minutes to myself. I took a shower, put a sheet on the floor, grabbed the scissors, and that was that.\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
Montaner says the cut came, in part, from a desire to break up the monotony of life under quarantine, which Dr. Diller says is a common response to experiencing a long period of isolation.<\/div>\n
But Montaner\u2019s move paid off in other ways: not only was she pleasantly surprised by the final look (\u201cMy hair looks better now,\u201d she says), but she\u2019s also riding a high of accomplishment from successfully pulling off something she\u2019s never done before.<\/div>\n

\u00a0\u201cI think it was surprising what a positive experience it was for me to cut my hair and how much better I felt in that moment,\u201d Montaner says.<\/div>\n
\u00a0\u201cIt\u2019s kind of liberating in a way because I was able to do something, affect something, change something.\u201d<\/div>\n

For some people, their hair is part of who they are. It is their identity.<\/div>\n
This is especially true for women.<\/div>\n
Women with long hair should take the time to think and consider before cutting their hair.<\/div>\n
Whether they realize it or not, their hair is a part of their identity and drastically cutting it short can make them feel lost.<\/div>\n

A drastic hair cut, even though it was a conscious choice, can promote a loss of self.<\/div>\n
\n

Women often cut their hair during life changes.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

While this may be true for men as well, it is a common scenario for women.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Ending a relationship, new career, graduating school, moving to a new city, overcoming a hard time\u2026these are all huge life experiences that can make women want to cut their hair short.<\/p>\n

It may feel like a way to reinvent themselves or a way to step into a new chapter as a newer version of themselves.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Regardless, most women will agree that they have booked an appointment with their hair stylist during a time like this.<\/p>\n

Sometimes we feel grief after chopping our hair off.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"T\u1ef1<\/strong><\/p>\n

As we\u2019ve discussed, cutting your long hair can be a magnificent transformation.<\/p>\n

It can be a great way to say goodbye to the old and embrace a new you.<\/p>\n

However, there is often an experience of grief after cutting your hair off.<\/p>\n

Because our hair is a part of our identity, making a big shift like this can take some getting used to.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The feeling of grief often comes from idea that we are letting go of who we used to be and moving into a new phase of life.<\/p>\n

Remember, hair is just hair.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"C\u00d3<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
\n
\n
\n

We put a lot of pressure on the hair on our scalps.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

At the end of the day, hair is just hair. It is not who we are inside.<\/p>\n

While it is important to have a hair style that makes you feel happy and confident, it is not everything.<\/p>\n

We must promote the happiness and confidence within ourselves as well.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Our hair can be taken from us in an instant.<\/p>\n

It might be because of sickness or the side effects of medicine.<\/p>\n

It might be a mental disorder or a bad experience with a product.<\/p>\n

It could be any reason. We can lose our hair but we must work hard to not lose ourselves so easily.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n
