You know, I kind of knew it would be your boss who would approach you with an apology. People can actually have a kind of shocked response to big changes in our appearance, and that means it come across differently from how they meant it to. I imagine the others will eventually come over to your side. It can take a little time.

Self-care, especially for gals, is so absolutely essential to feeling better about everything. Your hair looks really wonderful after your conditioning treatments, too!

When people surprise me with their disappointing attitudes, I try and remind myself it's probably more about them, than it is about me. A bit of time and distance can fix a lot.

Meanwhile, rock on with your lovely new look!
