I tried bleaching my hair, but it made me look like Joe Exotic minus the mullet. So that’s where the pink came in. I work at my mom’s nursing home, and a lot of my colleagues were kind of shocked.

There has always been an urge inside of me to do it, despite people telling me that it was too risky, that I’d look funny, or that if I shaved my head they’d break up with me.
The next day I went to buy pink color at the supermarket. But I had to bleach it first. Luckily my friend had a cream for that so I went to my place and put all the color on. I loved the pink hair and will definitely do it again. I felt more creative with it. Next time, I think I will make it blue. —Axel Valberg, Mallorca

The last time was when my son was a newborn and had a particularly long cry that day. I guess it’s my form of stress relief when exercise, meditation, and journaling for stress relief aren’t working! I had been thinking of cutting bangs for a couple weeks.

Eventually I realized that was a shitty way to think about my body and weight in general.
