Hair And Character Throughout the course of history, hair styles have been a way of distinguishing people of different groups. It may show that the person belongs to a social, ethnical, racial or a sub-cultural group. Nowadays, our society has generally blended together and there are no formal social classes in the sense that there have been, say, 100 years ago or more, therefore a hair type and/or style have become more of a statement about one's character. A person with curly hair, for example, is typically thought to be nervous, energetic and impulsive. A stereotype, originating from the images of a sea or ocean : when there are waves in the sea, people tend to call it "raging" or "uncalm" due to it's dynamic nature. Hence, the more curly the hair, the more nervous the person is considered to be. Curling your hair is a good idea if you want to make yourself look spicy or, perhaps, just a little bit on the wild side. Going on a date with a person who you believe likes impulsive people is a great occasion to curl your hair. Straight hair is reminiscent of a flat surface or a calm sea and represents peace, making it the complete opposite of curly hair. A person with straight hair will give off an impression of being peaceful, perhaps even serene, reserved and generally one that doesn't give in to emotion quite as much. For this reason, straightening your hair may be a good idea for business meetings and other such formal endeavors, where emotion is not required or even unfavorable. There are, of course, ways to enhance the impression your hair gives off or add some kind of flavor to it by using color. A red or reddish color will give you a fiery look, drastically changing the image of someone with straight hair, or enhancing the impression if the hair is curly. The color yellow is often associated with happiness and peace, thus making blond hair an interesting combination for someone with curly hair. Brown is generally a neutral color, when it comes to hair so it is probably the easiest way out if you are not sure about what statement you want to make using your looks. Other hair colors, ones that don't exist in nature will typically mark you as part of some sub-culture, but may still be a good idea if one manages to do it with style. The length of hair is also important. Long hair is the norm for women and has always been, therefore having long hair will be a "reserved" statement, whereas short hair will give off a more modern look, one that is not necessarily un-serious, but less so than with long hair. It can also produce a "boyish" look for young women and a "young-in-heart" look for older women. Not only that, but it will actually make a woman look younger. Having short hair is a good idea for women who are not afraid to try new things, whatever they might be. It is the complete opposite for men, however: ever since the beginning of the 20th century, men have mostly had short hair, a norm that has been brought forth due to militaristic purposes, and the stereotype is still alive today, although not nearly as vigorous as it has been before the hippie era. Nowadays, long hair for men is coming back, but even though it is not uncommon to see one with long hair, it is considered an archaic look, one that can make a man look more elegant or primal or anything else, really. Hair styles and types can be the best way to reveal one's character (or lie about it if that is the purpose).All that is required is a little imagination combined with basic knowledge of human psychology.   Click Here to Read More Articles>>
