Should I dye my hair? It's a justified question....?

Question

Ok so right now things aren't going good. I'm clinically depressed and everything just seems to keep getting worse. I'm in college and I start classes on Tuesday. Currently, I love my hair it's brown in the back and I have bright blue grown out bangs. I've looked this way for about 7 years now... and I get a lot of complements on it and people tell me it really works well with my skin type...etc.

But, I'm really messed up right now. And, I hate myself completely. The only think I do like about myself is my hair. Well, I'm back to school with a bunch of snobs and people who I don't know. I want to dye my hair completely brown, because I don't want to stick out. I don't want to be noticed. I think I just want to feel normal. And i know doing my hair won't make me feel normal or happy... but I'm just so confused anymore.

Can I get your opinions?

Answer 1

if you like your hair, don't worry about what other people say

if it looks good on you, keep it!!

Answer 2

I'm sorry to hear you are going through a rough time in your life. I know college and life can be tough, I'm 22 and currently work full-time and attend college.

My suggestion to you would be to do whatever makes you happy. Sometimes making a change to your outside appearance can help you to feel better about yourself. But If your hair is what you love about yourself then might want to see how you like just keeping it, you don't want to make yourself even more sad if you don't like the color of your hair. The good thing is that you do decide to die your hair and you don't like it, you can always die it back!

In the end, you really just need to find something that makes you happy. I think that is the real story here. I hope you can find that, cause you seem like a nice person.

You say you've been wearing  you hair the same for 7 years so it's way past time for a change. If you dye it and don't like it all you'll have to do is dye it back the way it was. Of course dyeing your hair is not really a life changing event so what have you got to lose by changing your hair color? Just remember it's what pleases you that matters so make the change and see how you like it.

Answer 4

You shouldn't dye your hair! Forget the snobs and people you don't know. Forget sticking in, because once you get stuck, it's extremely hard to get out. Trust me, I've been a face in the crowd for as long as i remember.

Since you aren't doing well, keep the one thing that you like. keep that on your brain instead of thinking of the things you hate. Try to build up from that. The people and the snobs,  don't worry about them, because in a couple of years, they won't mean a thing to you. Just keep what you love, and try to build up from it.

I hope it works out.

It sounds like you answered your own question. You like blue bangs but you aren't sure the snobs will like it and you don't want to be talked about. If you aren't feeling strong enough to have so much individuality in your look dye your hair brown. I remember what it is like to go to school with snobs, they find things to criticize. In this case it won't be about blue bangs though.
