What’s the Big Deal About Hair?
Hair serves a purpose far greater than it’s biological fu
nction of keeping the head protected and warm. It’s about who we are; it makes a statement and allows us to express our personality. We can have fun with it, and knowing our hair looks good allows us to feel good about ourselves.
Women in particular enjoy their hair! They can change it by coloring it, and cutting and styling it differently from time to time. If a woman’s mood changes, she can simply change her hair. If a woman’s self esteem is in the tank, she can head to the salon, get a new “do” and feel ready to conquer the world! Let’s face it, having great hair just makes you feel great!
Hair styles can be mesmerizing. Whether it’s long, short and spiky, bouncy, dark and sleek, blond, each can be beautiful hair. It’s not simply hair, it’s art and expression. Celebrities such as Cher, Madonna, and Jennifer Anniston know this. Their hairstyles helped to make and keep them stars. Even sports figures impress us with with their hairstyles. Remember the “Dorthy Hamil” look? Dorthy was an Olympic figure skater in the 1970’s who made the “wedge” hair style very popular.
Worldwide, women realize the effect of hair. Hair is not just an accessory; it’s a working tool for women. No other accessory says so much about who we are. Our hair must look good for us to “feel” good. Women have a need to know that we have a tool that can be our best in every situation.
What is is about beautiful hair that drives women into salons? What do we notice about hair? It’s shine-healthy hair gleams when the light catches it. Color, and not just one color, but many colors blended together to create a beautiful head of hair- exciting colors such as reds, blonds, rich brunettes and others. The texture of the hair encompassing the the movement, body and density is something we notice that speaks of beautiful hair. Is the hair straight, wavy, curly or kinky? Hair runs the gamut which is probably just one more reason we are so enamored with it.
Hair frames the face and when properly cut and styled, complements bone structure and features. Coloring the hair can totally transform ones appearance. Trained professionals can help enhance the facial features by employing different color techniques. A hair style is most effective when it does not take over the beauty it surrounds, the face.
Healthy, beautiful hair is due to many things. Good genes, good circulation which delivers the nutrients to the scalp, a healthy diet providing the building blocks and a hair care regimen that incorporates good products, tools and techniques. A good hair professional does so much more than simply cut and style hair as they realize it’s a very complex issue and affects a woman’s total self image.
In many cases, our hair stylist is our best friend. When someone tells us how great we look and our hair is wonderful, we have only our best friend to thank!
