* Connect and bond: Sharing a personal detail like a hairstyle change creates a sense of connection and shows you're thinking of her.
* Seek validation and feedback: You might want to know what your friend thinks of your new look and see if she likes it as much as you do.

* Express your feelings about the change: Are you feeling confident, bold, or just happy with the fresh look?
* Invite your friend to see it in person: If you're feeling particularly proud, you might want to ask your friend to meet up so she can see the new hairstyle firsthand.
