Hi Sweetpez, yes, there are two passages that come to mind that you might want to consider, and both call for a change toward modesty where outward adornment, fashion and hairstyle are concerned. St. Paul and St Peter write:

I want women to adorn themselves with proper clothing, modestly and discreetly, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly garments, but rather by means of good works, as is proper for women making a claim to godliness. 1 Timothy 2:9-10

Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair and the wearing of gold jewelry and fine clothes. Instead, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight. 1 Peter 3:3-4

Yours and His,
David

Here's a verse from the OT that commands us 'not' to change our appearance.

A woman shall not wear man's clothing, nor shall a man put on a woman's clothing; for whoever does these things is an abomination to the LORD your God. Deuteronomy 22:5
