Some people like change. So they get used to your hair one way, and then you do something different and they love it. It doesn't mean it REALLY looks better. It could look good both ways.

Also, to a certain extent going with the flow of fashion can make you like your hair, and other people, too. Then you look back and think, oh my god what was I thinking? But in the context of the times, it looked great, and you can't forget that.

I look at Liz Taylor. She started off with the fifties hair, went long with bangs in the late 60s/70s, went 80s shag -- etc, etc, etc. One thing that helped her continue to look "young" was that she didn't stick to the same hairstyle forever.

They say that you can tell at what age many women felt like they looked the best, because they have never changed their look again. Same lipstick color, same hairstyle, etc. It's so TRUE. I think men are even worse.
