He had long, flowing hair that hung almost to his waist for as long as anyone could remember. It had become his signature, thick and well-maintained.
People frequently made remarks about it; some thought it was admirable, while others joked or thought he was a girl from behind. Most of the time, he didn’t mind because it was the way things were.
However, he began to feel inwardly that the hair was concealing him rather than expressing him. He therefore made a silent yet audacious choice one day without notifying anyone. He entered a barbershop and requested a neat, short haircut. The kind that would alter his appearance entirely.
He felt lighter, almost free, as the long strands dropped to the ground. It was a dramatic change. Sharp cheekbones, sparkling eyes, and a strong jawline that had been concealed by all that hair suddenly became visible. Even he was taken aback by what he saw in the mirror when the haircut was completed.
He no longer resembled the long-haired, peaceful boy. He appeared self-assured and rejuvenated, like a brand-new person.
At first, no one knew him when he went back to school. The response was utterly unexpected.
