The Social Distance Dye Job

"It's really hard here in New York, so I have to hold on to that small moment of optimism when I see my hair and smile."

"I've spent the past three years dyeing my hair different colours. I believe I've tried seven hues in total, from blue and green to orange and purple. As the rare feature I can control, I've found changing my hair helps me cope with my unpredictable 20s. When social distancing started in New York, I knew I was bound to dye it again. I chose a Pepto Bismol pink this time, because it's a colour I've never done before. The pink really helps boost my mood when I'm pacing around my apartment and catch a glimpse of the shade in the mirror. It's really hard here in New York, so I have to hold on to that small moment of optimism when I see my hair and smile."
