To answer your question. For me I believe a large part of what makes me, me, is my hair. I’m half Scottish and Irish which has landed me with some pretty red hair which I used to absolutely hate. I hate that it made me different and boys found me ugly for it. It was a tough thing to overcome growing up but I believe it’s taught me some very important lessons such as not valuing what other people think. If my mum had let me dye it when I was younger I don’t think I would have had the same outcome and confidence and self assurance that it has given me now. So that’s a large part of what has made me me.
