Study Shows Hairstyle Dictates First Impressions


You can tell so much about a person by their hair, such as how fashionable they are, how tidy they are, even to some extent what type of job they do, by their hairstyle. Your hair is certainly a huge give away.

Hair is often called a ‘crowning glory' which it certainly can be when well groomed, clean and shiny, in fact a recent university study shows that your hairstyle dictates the first impressions you make and overpowers the impact of facial features.

It has also been confirmed by a Professor of Psychology that a "bad hair day" affects more than your appearance, it impacts on performance, self esteem, social insecurity and self criticism, thus a bad hair day has become part of the idiom of a bad day in general.

Good healthy hair comes from having a good regime to cleanse, condition, with hair products that are right for your hair type.  There is no hard and fast rule on how often to wash your hair, just so long as you choose the correct shampoo to do its job.

Different people have different types of hair and washing your hair too frequently, or not frequently enough, for your hair type can do more harm than good and nobody knows your hair better than you yourself and you will know when it needs washing by how it looks and feels.

A lot of people assume that buying matching shampoo and conditioners is the best thing for your hair, in fact this is just the opposite as professionals will tell you to follow the rule of buying shampoo for your roots and conditioner for your ends, for the simple fact that your hair may be greasy yet the ends are dry and splitting maybe from colouring, thus buy a shampoo for greasy hair and a conditioning treatment for coloured hair. Also your hair may need proper hair treatments to complete the process.

Pampering our hair is exactly what we do, using shampoos and moisturizing conditioners, giving our routine a boost with hair treatments, and today more than any other time in the history of hair styling, we change its colour, we gel it, we use moose to give it volume, we lengthen our hair with extensions, use hair straighteners, heated rollers, hair dryers, is it any wonder that we sometimes suffer dry, dull and lifeless hair.

A spokesman for Fabriah professional hair products online said "using electrical hair products if used properly can do no harm, don't pump up the heat on hair dryers so you are blasting the hair with high heat, or try to straighten your hair when it is wet, you will just stretch the hair and eventually it will break, everything in moderation is key,  The answer to achieving beautiful hair is not to let the hair get to where you are plying it with all sorts of products to bring it back to its natural beauty. Start as you mean to go on, investing in the best shampoo and conditioners to suite your hair type and we are here to help and advise you".
