Letting Go of Baggage Hair: Why It’s Time for a Fresh Start

July 10, 2025 Jacob Lindie

We’ve all had it at some point—what we call “baggage hair.” It’s not just about split ends or a tired style; it’s the emotional weight we sometimes carry in our hair without even realising it. Maybe it’s the long locks you’ve kept since a past relationship, the fringe from a phase you’ve outgrown, or a colour that no longer reflects who you are. Hair holds memories, and sometimes it ends up carrying more than it should.

At Heads High, we believe in the power of change. Letting go of baggage hair can be a deeply freeing experience. It’s not just about aesthetics—it’s about shedding the old and stepping confidently into the new. A fresh cut or colour can symbolize a new chapter, a release from whatever you’ve been holding onto. It can boost your mood, shift your mindset, and bring a renewed sense of self.

We’ve seen it time and time again—clients walk in weighed down and walk out lighter, brighter, and more themselves. So if you’re holding onto a style that no longer serves you, maybe it’s time to let go. You deserve hair that matches your energy, your growth, and your future—not your past. Let us help you find the look that sets you free.
