Don't go for haircut after breakup: Alexa Chung

Model-TV presenter Alexa Chung says women shouldn't change their hairstyle after breaking up with a partner because they aren't in a "fit state" to make long-term decisions.

"Hair is so linked to how we feel and everyone goes for something radical after a break-up. But my advice if you've just suffered heartbreak or you've broken up with someone is to not touch your hair," femalefirst.co.uk quoted Chung as saying.

"It's the first thing women do, but you're not in a fit state to make decisions that are long term. You'll have to spend the next four years growing it out. Don't have a fringe cut. Don't bleach it. Don't do anything because you'll live to regret it," she added.

The 29-year-old also says that that she can predict her friends' state of mind after looking at their hair.

She also cited an example of pop star Britney Spears's post-split hair disaster, after the singer shaved her head following her breakup from husband Kevin Federline in 2007.

"When my friends are heartbroken I can tell that they're sad; their hair just starts looking a bit forlorn. Like when Britney Spears got sad and shaved of her hair. That's the ultimate warning - heed that. If you're not feeling good, don't do anything to your hair," Chung mentioned in a feature for Style magazine.
