Just because you broke up with your spouse or got laid off from your job doesn't mean you should get a pixie cut or dye your hair fire-engine red. Odile Gilbert, the lead stylist for Kérastase at Thakoon, advises you to stay away from the salon when you're feeling vulnerable.
"You have some moments in your life when you are unhappy, and you should not make a hair change then," she said. "Sometimes it's better to go shopping. Buy yourself something if you don’t feel good, rather than cutting off all of your hair. Go buy yourself a piece of jewelry or flowers or shoes — anything!"
Our advice: wait at least two months after the life event happened, and if you still want to make a hair change, then go for it. Or pull a Lauren Conrad, and cut your hair in stages like she did here when she got a lob.
