Is Our Hair Our Identity?
What Our Hairstyles Say About Us
It is interesting to see what the “experts” say about what hairstyles say about us. As women, it is more important to us to convey the message we want to be sending, depending on the circumstances. However, we also want to be “different”, to “stand-out” from the rest, and therefore sometimes adapt a “devil-may-care” attitude. I suppose it’s no wonder men can’t figure us out, most of the time - LOL. Anyhow, I thought it would be interesting to see exactly what they say about hairstyles and who they say we are, accordingly.
Personality Traits Assigned
First off, apparently if you have straight hair as opposed to curly, you are taken more seriously. Straight hair is seen as more conservative, while curly hair, more casual. When it comes to long versus short hair, however, it becomes more complicated. Not only does it matter where you are, but surprise, surprise - it depends on what gender you claim. In the workplace, shorter hair tends to reflect strength, power and confidence. But, bosses are still more common to be men, and these are traits that can also be intimidating - to the male gender, in particular. Less hair equals less sexy, but more professional. Long hair, on the other hand, is perceived as more youthful and sexy. When it comes to hair color, blonde hair is seen as full of energy but not so smart, as a rule. Brunettes are seen as more serious and mysterious. Redheads are seen as the wild card, fiery and dangerous.
The Meaning
Is this an epiphany? More like a dull book we’ve read a zillion times, if you ask me. So what is the meaning of all this? Well, that is entirely up to you. However, if you’re looking for ways to change your hairstyle according to what the circumstances are, that is something of interest. Dare to be different, that’s my personal rule of thumb. In any case, do what makes you feel the best about yourself. When you stick to that rule, you will always project the best version of yourself possible.
Be Versatile - Hair Extensions Are A Plus
If you want to achieve different looks depending on what you happen to be doing, there is a great solution. Hair extensions can be awesome for quick appearance changing, and especially if they’re clip-in. The Lauren Ashtyn Collection is one place you can get some of the best ones on the market. They are made from 100% real European Remy human hair, and their unique clip-in design does not damage your own hair and can be applied in just seconds. There are several choices depending on whether you want full volume, adding fullness, body and length, or cover unwanted gray hair, or even to just add some length. Plus, they are fully customizable with regard to cut, color and style. They are easy to maintain by using the same nourishing products and good care you use on your own hair. They can last 3 years or more, so make a great investment, too. There are lots of tutorials on their website and you can schedule a free hair consultation if you like. So be versatile, and always project the image you want!
