It’s no secret that a drastic hairstyle change can leave you feeling like a brand new person. Whether you choose to chop off your long tresses, dye your hair a totally different color, or maybe try out braids, you’re bound to look a bit, or a lot, different. Some see a trip to the salon or barber as a form of therapy. Others believe our hair carries memories, both good and bad. And that cutting it can help us heal. Whatever your beliefs, there’s no denying a great hair makeover has its benefits.
We happened upon an online community dedicated to all things hair. r/hair has more than 4.3 million members, and an endless number of people sharing before and after photos of their drastic transformations. Bored Panda had much fun perusing the page to pick our favorites. And some might have you doing a double-take. From Rapunzel-like locks turned into pixie-cuts, bland brunettes going bright pink and others even brave enough to turn their hair into multi-colored, creative, works of art, there’s no shortage of “hair-spiration.” Upvote the ones that you love and let us know in the comments how a new hairdo makes you feel. Don’t miss the chats Bored Panda had with award-winning hairstylist and owner of Excentric Hair Florin Neacsu, and Ronel van Vollenhoven, founder and Master Stylist of At Stylar.
