Why do People Colour Their Hair?

Back in school, dyed hair was a means to bring about penalties from teachers and disapproval from parents, but skip to college and many among us have rather chosen to express themselves by flaunting their favorite hues in their hair. Regardless of the popular opinion attached to those with dyed hair being rebellious and facetious, we see quite a few of our batch mates here at RML rocking a 'poppy' hair colour all the while excelling academically, socially, and professionally.

It provides us a glimpse into the hidden emotions, feelings, and motives of the ones who choose to flaunt dyed hair.
