It is a physical because you are only changing the physical appearance. You are not making a chemical change to it.

They do not change the nature of the substance unless a chemical change occurs along with the physical change. These may be irreversible, but the result is still composed of the same molecules. When you cut your hair, that is a physical change, even though you can't put the hair back on your head again
