    1. You are currently wearing harem pants.

    Seriously, look down, if you are confidently wearing harem pants take out the clippers and have at it.

    2. Your legal name is Rihanna.

    If someone shouts out "Hey Rihanna, I love you!" in a crowd and you answer.. buzz buzz...buzzbuzzbuzz.

    OR - You could easily Photoshop yourself into Rih-Rih's Instagram feed and no one would bat an eye.

    Ever convinced someone that you've met Rihanna and had in-depth conversations about her dance moves? Shave away my friend.

    3. You are 100% sure which side is your good side.

    Pick the wrong side and you'll be showcasing said bad side in every pic for the next year! That equals roughly 4 weddings, 6 birthdays, 3 trips to the beach and 1 visit to see Grandma.

    4. You cut your own bangs too short once and it merely resulted in the launch of another nationwide trend.

    This is not your first time at the funky haircut rodeo.

    5. You have dramatic cheekbones.

    On a serious note, dramatic features lend themselves well to dramatic hairstyles.

    6. You've referred to your hairstylist as a hipster, to their face.

    What are you gonna ask Pamela from the $5 Cuts and Perms down the street to shave off a small section of your hair in a way that takes your overall style to the next level? Pshhh - I meaannnn... Love ya PAM!

    7. Your friends wish they had your swagger.

    You've been making big moves since birth, a sidecut is just another blip on your radar screen of life.

    8. You have no fear of an awkward "grow out."

    Especially when it promises to grow into a walking homage to your favorite video game. You'd do the same if you spent back-to-back 24hr days getting to level 1376.

    9. You're well aware that there are worse things in life than a bad haircut.
