For as long as I can remember, I have been extremely conscious of myself — how others perceive me and subsequently how they might judge me. If you’ve ever taken a psychology class, the term “spotlight effect” may ring a bell. It’s the phenomenon in which you tend to overestimate how much other people notice aspects of your appearance or behavior. I lived under an imagined spotlight for years, constantly worried about my perceived intellect and physical appearance. Only in college did I decide to turn off the spotlight I had placed overhead — and in doing so, I began to live for myself.

My hair has been through a lot over the years. I’ve experienced the childhood bowl cut, the hip length hair of my tween years and the obligatory trauma bangs. When I changed my part from the side to the middle in 2020, I was obsessed with being on-trend and distancing myself from a younger version of me. I spent years hiding behind popular styles such as loose-fitting clothes. But my recent decision to disregard trends — and part my hair slightly to the right — has allowed me to live in the present and embrace who I truly am.
