What does that behavior mean psychologically?
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.
But Montaner’s move paid off in other ways: not only was she pleasantly surprised by the final look (“My hair looks better now,” she says), but she’s also riding a high of accomplishment from successfully pulling off something she’s never done before.
“I 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,” Montaner says.
“It’s kind of liberating in a way because I was able to do something, affect something, change something.”
For some people, their hair is part of who they are. It is their identity.
This is especially true for women.
Women with long hair should take the time to think and consider before cutting their hair.
Whether they realize it or not, their hair is a part of their identity and drastically cutting it short can make them feel lost.
A drastic hair cut, even though it was a conscious choice, can promote a loss of self.
