Post-Breakup Makeover Guides

'The Rules of Cutting Off Your Hair' Brings Laughs to the Loveless

— February 21, 2012 — Fashion
I'd be lying if I said I didn't know any girl who, upon ending a relationship, decided to undergo an extreme hair transformation, as depicted in Christie Young's 'The Rules of Cutting Off Your Hair.'

The incredibly witty and all too true illustrated guide goes through the motions of dealing with a bad breakup, complete with sobbing in front of trashy 90s romantic comedies, and of course the "born again" sensation brought on by a drastic haircut or dye job. While Christie's hilarious 'Rules' is less of a practical guide than it is a supportive shoulder to cry on, knowing that you're not alone in your post-breakup ritual is as much help as one could ask for. With a lot of laughs and a dose of self-deprecation, The Rules of Cutting Off Your Hair is sure to bring a smile to any face, especially one marked with the dried tears of a bad breakup.
Trend Themes
1. Extreme Hair Transformations - Opportunity for beauty salons to offer post-breakup makeover packages that include drastic haircuts or dye jobs.
2. Supportive Guides for Breakups - Opportunity for authors to create humorous and relatable illustrated guides that provide emotional support for individuals going through breakups.
3. Post-breakup Rituals - Opportunity for businesses to offer products or services that cater to the emotional needs of individuals after a breakup, such as trashy romantic comedy movie rentals or self-care packages.
Industry Implications
1. Beauty & Wellness - Opportunity for beauty salons and spas to provide post-breakup makeover services and self-care treatments to individuals seeking a fresh start.
2. Publishing & Media - Opportunity for authors and illustrators to create and publish humorous breakup guides that resonate with a wide audience and provide emotional support.
3. Entertainment & Retail - Opportunity for retailers and streaming services to curate collections of trashy romantic comedies or offer self-care product bundles that appeal to individuals seeking comfort after a breakup.
