Getting Your Hair Right: How Your Look Affects How You Feel
A good haircut, a bad haircut, we’ve all had them before. But can it really affect how we feel?
Hair Can Increase Your Confidence in a Few Ways
In the early 1990s, a research study was conducted at Yale University on the relationship between hair and confidence. Led by Dr. Marianne LaFrance, the study found that hair has a significant impact on self-esteem and confidence.
A good head of hair that is well-groomed and styled to your liking can improve your overall appearance, making you feel more attractive and put-together. In turn, this can help boost your confidence in your appearance and your ability to present yourself in a positive light.
Furthermore, hair can also be seen as a form of expression to showcase your own style, personal taste and character. In other words, your hair can be a representation of who you are and what you like. Undoubtedly, it can be empowering, regardless of wherever you are, knowing you look amazing and feeling like a million bucks.
While on the social aspects, it is widely believed that hair is one of the features most often recalled after a social interaction. Clearly, our hair is closely intertwined with how we are being judged and viewed upon socially.
4 Simple Steps to Elevate Your Look
Finding a hairstyle that suits you depends on several factors such as your face shape, hair style and lifestyle. Here are four simple steps to get you started.
#1 Determine Your Face Shape
The first step is to determine your face shape. You can do this by looking at yourself in the mirror and tracing the outline of your face on the mirror. The most common face shapes are round, oval, square and heart-shaped.
#2 Consider Your Hair Type
Consider your hair type: The texture and thickness of your hair can also influence the type of hairstyle that will suit you.
#3 Look for Inspiration
Browse through magazines or online hair galleries to find hairstyles that appeal to you. One of the easiest methods could be to identify celebrities with similar face shapes and hair types for inspiration.
#4 Consult with a Hairstylist
A professional hairstylist can give you expert advice on the best hairstyle for you. They can consider your face shape, hair type, lifestyle and personal style to recommend a hairstyle that flatters you. Remember that finding the perfect hairstyle is a personal choice, and what works for one person may not work for another. Ultimately, the best hairstyle is one that makes you feel confident and comfortable in your own skin.
