Why Changing Your Hairstyle Can Boost Your Confidence
Mikey MoranItâs entirely normal to need a confidence boost every once in a while.
Confidence doesnât need to be unwavering, but it should be strong so that we can feel at our best as often as possible. When I wasnât younger, I often struggled with confidence issues.
I didnât know how to cultivate confidence, so I had poor self-esteem. Something that I never realized was how much of my pride and courage came from how I presented my hair. đ
For a long time, I permed my hair; then, after realizing that it was damaging my hair, my mother decided to stop allowing me.
Since I couldnât straighten my hair, I didnât know how to style my hair and feel confident outside of that.
Luckily, I grew out of that phase, and in my teens, I began to embrace the versatility of my hair. Sometimes with the help of hair bundles.
As I started changing my hair and trying different styles, I gained my confidence back! I finally stopped feeling so dull and felt vibrant and outstanding.
My experience with changing my look has led me to believe that improving your look every once in a while will boost your confidence.
Letâs get into why changing your look can boost your confidence!

Why Try Something New?
Trying a new look is great for a variety of reasons.
For me, I always love doing something new with my hair after a significant change in my life, before an interview, and after a major breakup.
After a substantial change occurs in my life, I am always searching for something new to try.
Sometimes, I want to change my house around or switch up the energy in my space, but more often than not, Iâm looking to improve how I see.
Ultimately, I want to look in the mirror and feel different from the parts of my life that have changed.
My hair is always the first thing I go to. Now, sometimes this can be expensive, but it doesnât have to be! When braids werenât expensive for me, I would always change my hair to braids to have that fresh look I needed.
After changing my look, I always feel more connected to the new territory of life Iâm experiencing. The same applies to when Iâm going into an interview.
When I feel brand new, I typically present myself in a much better light than I usually would. Many interviewers have said that I exuded confidence in the interviewer.
Of course, they had no idea that I had just changed my hair, but I knew that my new style contributed to what they described. We all know about the cliché of changing hairstyles after a significant breakup, but it indeed works.
When I went through my last breakup, I changed my hair and felt so much better.
I felt better about moving forward when I wasnât reminded of the past by my appearance. Try it out and see how it works for you!

A New Style Means Better Self-Care
In most cases, when people arenât feeling happy with themselves, their self-care becomes less of a priority.
When you decide to change your appearance, youâre taking charge of your self-care. Youâre doing this by putting your time and effort into how you appear.
The more that you invest in yourself, the better youâll feel and the more confidence youâll have. I always notice that when Iâm on top of my self-care, I feel the best.
Simple things like wrapping my hair at night and brushing my hair in the morning made all the difference. Donât mistake tending to your appearance as vain. Itâs not as long as itâs not overindulgence or obsession.
Be mindful of how often or how little youâre taking care of your appearance. Your hair will always let you know when it needs some love.
Boost your confidence by moisturizing your curly hair, taking care of your coils, or having a wash and spa day. Your newfound confidence and your hair will thank you for it!

Trying Something Daring Is Fun!
Trying something daring with your hair can cause an influx of confidence. When youâre willing to be daring with your look, youâll be more likely to be daring in other aspects of life.
When I finally tried a new hair color, I tried so many different things that same week.
I went out to a place I had never been before despite my social anxiety. I tried some new foods despite being particular about what I eat. Being daring is subjective to each.
For me, it was a new color. For others, it could be a new curl pattern or a new protective style.
Whatever your level of daring is, be sure to choose that and go for it! You never know what other daring things youâll try with your new confidence level.

Donât Worry About Other People!
The more confidence you have, the more youâll be able to choose your lane when it comes to your style.
Confidence should be entirely based on how you feel about yourself, not what anyone thinks about you.
When I was worried about other peopleâs opinions, I found that I wasnât able to express myself how I wanted.
Since I couldnât express myself, I felt like my confidence couldnât be at the necessary level for me to be comfortable.
Once I stopped worrying about how people felt about my look, primarily as a black woman, I was able to choose a look that suited me.
It took a long time for me to get there, but I did, and Iâm sure you can do it too.
If you feel the urge to cut your hair, you can go with a Long, Bob, or Pixie Hairstyle!

New Hairstyle for Boosted Confidence
Trying a new look has many benefits that you may not be aware of.
For me, stepping into a unique style has helped me with major changes in life, a sad breakup, or a job interview.
Trying a new style can boost your confidence if you let it! đ„°
Donât be afraid to think outside the box and try something different and get your confidence in check.
