Pre mid life crisis and trip to the Salon!

Is there anything called a pre-midlife crisis? I already have been through a quarter-life crisis when I turned 25 and I’m nowhere near turning 50. So this has to be a pre-midlife crisis.
Maybe I’m being overdramatic. I’ll tell you how I reached here. I just had a “hair treatment” done. I am also thinking of getting my hair coloured. It’ll probably be something everyone’s getting done like red or blue or something popular (or not maybe). And maybe some mani-pedi, some facial, some spa and some massage. Just a little bit of Makeover. That’s not a cry for help right?

It’s cliché to have a mid-life crisis. People usually go for the tried and tested options like having an affair or having another kid or quitting their job and travelling the world or having a makeover. Oh wait, I guess I am going the cliché route.
I am not usually the maintain yourself type. I am a  don’t care about my hair type but I think I was getting bored of the same usual hair I’ve had for more than three decades now.

People usually find Salons and getting your hair shampooed in salon very relaxing. But I don’t. I just don’t get relaxed when someone else is washing my hair. Salon trips don’t relax me. Ugghh..

Is this like a sign or anything? Does this mean I am craving a change? I don’t know really and I did not want to overthink it because it’s just a hair treatment. People usually get it done often. It’s like a Keratin treatment but a little more elaborate than that (the salon guy tried his best to explain it to me but alas).
And it is better than having an affair because I am nowhere close to being bored of my husband. And I need to clarify that because he will probably read this blog. So no affair only hair. That’s where we stop (for now).
It’ll take a few days until I know if I like my ‘renewed hair’ or not but till then I’m probably going to obsess about what this means and if I’m ageing before time.

PS: Did you have a pre-midlife crisis? Or are you having one right now? Let’s form a support group! Crisis Anonymous!

  1. I’m not into beauty stuff at all, but there’s no harm in treating yourself, as they say a change is as good as a holiday. PS – I dyed my hair purple.

  2. As I stretch out my arm to touch 65, I can honestly say I’ve never had a midlife crisis. Does this mean I’m destined to live to 130+ years?? I have red hair and have never considered changing the color. I’m aging gracefully and my hair is still red in the back but I have silver white “bride of Frankenstein” stripes at my temples….

    1. Wow! I am so glad to hear that! I don’t think midlife crisis will mess with you for sure. I have black hair by the way with greys on the right side. If I can age even half as gracefully as you, I’ll call myself lucky🙈

  3. I’m not much into it either but after being laid up with a broken ankle the past couple of months, I am due for a change!! I find I have been thinking about spoiling myself too and going all out. I am almost 56 and tho I don’t feel its’ a mid-life crisis, I am due for a change. Spring is in the air and time for a renewal anyway!

    1. I love that perspective! Why call it a crisis when you can just call it a change! I hope you get a nice relaxing day very soon. Spoil yourself totally 🤗 ♥

  4. Thank you, I plan on it. We always need a change once in awhile, gets us out of ruts we have gotten into too!

  5. Perhaps you are just growing and changing—exploring new sides of you that are emerging. I think if you squashed that process—*then* you would have a crisis!

  6. Let’s form a crisis group like yesterday.
    I like my trips to the barbershop. I don’t like my hair long and i am balding so keeping it short works for me.

    1. I’m thinking of going all rebel and trimming my hair to the minimum level possible

  7. hey, its natural.
    Everybody goes through this phase. May be for another 5 yrs.
    Then one gets bored.
    That time is called ageing gracefully.
    Cheers my friend.
    Stay safe.
