What's the most drastic change you've ever made to your

[polka]

appearance, and when did you do it?  (Hair change, piercings, tattoos, overall style, etc.)


The most drastic change I've ever made to my looks was probably lightening my hair back in 2001.  I was sooo adventurous.  

Oh, and straightening my hair for junior high graduation was a big deal to everyone lol

[Deleted]

I cut off 12 inches of my hair when I broke up with my boyfriend of six years. I needed to not be myself.

[Deleted]

You're all pups. Breast reduction. It's awesome.

[awick14]

I cut off all my hair in 4th grade. (Does that count?) it was about 6 inches longer then my waist, I cut it to just above my shoulders.

[cheeseandcrackers]

does weight loss count?

[Deleted]

Getting a second hole in my ears lol. But really, probably cutting blunt bangs. I've been just about every natural hair color like nicbreeful, but when I got my blunt bangs is when people didn't recognize me. There was also that time in 7th grade that I got my braces off, my hair chemically straightened, and started wearing makeup all at the same time. My teacher thought I was a new student.

I came in here to say precisely this.  It's still a pixie!  I never did have the patience to grow it all the way back.

My grandmother was like, "I love your curls!"  Rebellious 17 year-old whatthefaulkner was like, "Really?  HAND ME THE SCISSORS."  lol

[lightyears]

When I made the switch from glasses to contacts.

I strictly wore glasses for 20 years and then got contacts when I was 22. People still don't recognize me.

[lightyears]

Just so y'all can see.

Eta: it's not a huge difference i suppose. But it feels pretty different to me.

[margotmacomber]

I have alopecia so my hair changes drastically a lot.  I change it all of the time to match what it is doing in the best way possible (hiding bald spots, letting it get longer when it is fuller, dying it to make me feel better, blah blah).

I have had a nose ring for 14 years and that was drastic at the time but now it's just there.

Yes, definitely  Congrats on your weight loss!  

I didn't even think about that.  I lost 50 pounds last year, that was a big change for me too.

[Jalapeñomel]

I've cut my hair off, dyed it almost every color from blue to bleach white, permed it...I am not really attached to my hair at all.

I dropped a ton of weight in college, like 35 lbs.

[Deleted]

Going from brown hair to bleach blonde. I will never do that again. Especially not doing it by myself first only to have to have it professionally fixed the next day.

[messykitchen]

I have a full back tattoo, a bunch of piercings, had Lasik done to get rid of glasses, lost about 70 pounds (and counting!)and I have cut and dyed my hair more times than I can count. I guess I just like to keep improving things!

[mandymay]

I lost 80 pounds when I was 16 which was a pretty drastic change Too bad I gained/kept 30 on after having my daughter. Oh, where are you motivation to lose it again?

[polka]

I chopped off my own hair once in 5th grade. I cut it up to my chin.  It's naturally curly, so it shrunk up to my ears   My mom still said it was cute when my lampshade head walked out of the bathroom.  I love that woman.  lol

[simplyinpenguin]

Either the loss of 80+ pounds I was carrying for the longest time or that one time I decided to dye my blonde hair red. I would've looked good in it if I would just get some sun once in a while lol.

[Deleted]

All in one year I got breast implants, my eyes done and grew out the short bob I had been wearing my hair in. My step mom hardly recognized me in my Christmas photo that year!

Was this movie about you?

Hair color is usually my go-to for a shake up in my appearance. About eleven years ago i went from dark blonde to bright coppery red. A few years later I went brunette and added a white streak. I kept up with that look for a couple years, but it was tough to maintain. I would looooooove to chop my hair off super short, but just don't have the face shape or hairline to pull it off.

[Muddled]

I shaved my head once.

[roxycarmichael]

I chopped my very long hair off into a short bob the week my divorce became final.

[Jermys]

I dyed my hair and shaved my head a lot in high school. One time I got high and shaved off my eyebrows. And I lost a bunch of weight.

[Deleted]

I've had every hair color from natural brown to bright red to black to purple to auburn; grown it out, cut it all off, layers, no layers, straight, wavy, blunt bangs, side bangs, no bangs. I've got 3 tattoos and 5 piercings. I've lost 40 pounds and gained back 50. I wear contacts and glasses. I've dressed like a hippie, a pinup, a beach bum, and a goth. I grew six inches the year I turned 12. I've been a loser kid with D's and F's, an artist, an honor roll student, a spelling bee champion, I didnt graduate high school on time, and now I'm a nursing student hopeful who loves anatomy.

People I've known for a few years call me a chameleon because they have to do a double take to make sure its me when I've got a new hairstyle or look. I enjoy it.

[AmeliaBedelia]

I'm a natural blonde but dyed my hair dark brown when I was a freshman in high school. I loved it but it faded so quickly I couldn't handle the upkeep and was back to blonde within 6 months.

[stealthmom]

Losing 60 lbs.

Chameleons are the coolest.

[ElizabethBennet]

I've lost 50lbs. I've since gained it all back unfortunately.

Got a tattoo and nose piercing

Chopped my hair off. I went from having hair to the middle of my back to a pixie in one sitting. I loved the pixie but got bored of it quickly.

[Deleted]

When I stopped using drugs. I weighed around 95 lbs and looked sick. I gained 30 lbs in 2 months. Then I chopped my hair off.

[steph196]

Going blonde and chopping off my long hair after breaking up with my ex boyfriend. Then I proceeded to party like crazy. I guess blondes really do have more fun!
