When I was in the Marines, you could set your watch by a hairstyle change. Wore it long, cut it short? Dyed it a different color (dangerhair was forbidden, but natural colors were allowed)?
50/50 divorce or non-judicial discipline (less than two months confinement to barracks and lost salary, no jail time). Something in her personal life had gone tits up (and not in the fun way) and she wanted to re-assert some measure of control via the only method she had. She was "reinventing herself" or some bullshit.
I don't think this is new. I think drastically changing hairstyles is what women do to act out when they feel out of control.
You would be correct in that assumption. One of the things women will do during times of stress is drastically change their hair - because it's one of the things they can have control over. When online dating first started becoming a thing, back in the early days of the web, someone wiser than me warned me about that: "If her hair doesn't look like her profile pic or the color doesn't exist in nature, run the other way." Adage still holds true to this day, possibly even more so in this age of dangerhair.
