15 People Who Followed Reddit Users’ Advice and Boldly Got a New Hairdo

Feelings about how we look can affect how we behave and see ourselves socially, claims research. So a bad hair day can lead us to believe we belong to a lower social class, for example. On top of that, it’s easy to feel stuck in our comfort zone, especially when it comes to changing our hairstyle. But fortunately, courage isn’t lacking for a lot of people.

Bright Side is now putting the spotlight on those who weren’t afraid to hear strangers’ opinions online and try something different with their hair. Check out the results.
