Why are some women afraid to get a haircut?
Princess Rapunzel's golden blonde hair (70 feet, to be exact) in the new Disney edition is intricately and legendarily intricately tangled (perhaps this is because we know it will eventually help her score a fiery prince). But in real life, lower back hair does not have the same effect at all.
I recently watched a woman in a restaurant proudly waving her long straight hair as she walked. I could not help but think to myself, "Why is she not getting a haircut? She can not think it looks good." Maybe I should have taken care of my business ... but instead, I asked New York clinical psychologist Vivian Diller, author of Dealing with It: What Women Really feel when their appearance changes, to shed insight into why some women are petrified from cutting their hair. (And to clarify: I myself am a long-haired girl and love that my stylist obeys the half-inch cutting requests.) "Some women see their hair as an aspect of their identity," Diller explained. "It's very internal, and women who let it grow to this extreme length have been attached to it for a long time. Some women see the gestalt in the hair in their appearance and parallel it to the loss of teeth or arm." Her long hair. Paltrow talked about how hard it was to get a haircut because she had such hair when her father passed away and when her daughter was born. When I brought it to the dealer, she said that "people associate traits with certain experiences in their lives. And with hair cutting, it could be that they release memory." So is that a real problem? Because life requires flexibility, Diller explained, a sense of toughness about something can be problematic. She recommends going into a haircut session thinking that one trait does not define you - that you are much more than just hair. As she put it, "try a new look gradually, like getting a few inches or so Getting layers, can make it easier for you and make it a comfortable experience
