This is my social group. Neither I, nor my friends, dye our hair because we want to be non-conformist or quirky — we dye our hair because it looks cute. It’s not at all difficult to think of fashion choices that’d be more distinct, but it’s often the concern that we’ll be seen as “weird” that keeps us from choosing them. I look how I do because I want to be liked and respected, same as anyone making the choice to be fashionable.
