While I firmly believe that you can reinvent yourself at any time, I’ve always welcomed a new year transformation. It’s the perfect way to blow off the cobwebs of the previous year and lean into the opportunity for change. Even though I find myself cringing as I type this, I’m convinced there’s something energizing about embracing the ‘new year, new me’ mentality. But this time, rather than setting resolutions or mood-boarding how I want the next 12 months to look, I decided to take a more drastic (or at least a more immediate) approach — and that meant it was time for a haircut.
As I sat on my sofa, scrolling for inspiration, I knew there was only one option: the bob.
