Living in the past

Have you ever noticed some people (or yourself) having a hard time letting go of certain things? Be it bangs from a previous era, ratting from the 80's, or perhaps chunky contrasted highlights, sometimes it can be hard to let go and move on. I always had a hard time understanding how people could not realize styles had moved on. Then one day I heard this theory: People tend to hold on to the hairstyle they had when they thought they were at the prettiest. This is usually somewhere in their 20's. It is just a theory but it TOTALLY made sense to me! If you look at someone with dated hair, think about what was in style when they were in their youth, whether it be just a few years passed or decades ago, their style will almost always match up. I have seen this theory proven time and time again. So. Are you feeling like you need a change? Evaluate your style. Are you living in the past? Holding on to the glory days? Sometimes you need an age appropriate update. I am not saying you have to give in to every trend, but just consider what is current and maybe make a few changes. It will feel liberating to let go and move on. Don't hold on to how you once looked, embrace your look now and make the best of it!
