One of my friends Rachael Akanni, is my very own Nicki
Minaj, she changes her hair every week to get both a new look and to portray a
new image….
I decided to do a little interview on her to see the real
story behind all her looks and see if somewhere down the line she does this to
satisfy her alter ego…
Interview:
Q. Why do you change your hair so much?
A. I
just like showing my work through myself as an artist, it’s just a way of me
being creative, and my image defines who I am. Also by looking at me you can
tell what I’m into.
Q.
Do you feel your personality changes with each hairstyle you have?
A.
Yes, I find that with short hair I feel more mature and more confident within
the things I set out to do. Weather that changes my personality I don’t know
however it makes me feel different, it makes me feel like I can be anything.
Q.
Do you feel you get treated differently with a certain hairstyle?
A. Yeah
like for example when I’m at work, the client respects me more when I have
short hair, however when I have long hair or my natural hair I get treated like
a kid and I don’t get respected within my job role.
Q.
When you change your hair will you do it for a certain occasion for example
when your going out do u like looking a certain way to if your at work?
A.
When I go to work I like looking perfect. Top me I feel that if my hair doesn’t
look good, then who am I to do someone else’s. If my hair looks fine then
people will feel trustworthy when I’m doing their hair. However when I go out I
like standing out from the crowd. So if that means going out in a pink will
then I will. Its like if my hair is different I feel like this other person.
From
this interview you can see that Rachael changes her hair to become this other
person, weather it’s to be treated with respect or become more confident. This in
fact is a common alter ego trait, changing ones self to become something or
someone else.
