In essence, the hair theory says that a person's haircut influences how others view them. This may take the form of them speaking to you or treating you differently. For example, a sleek and polished updo can give off an air of sophistication, while a messy bun might suggest a more relaxed and carefree personality.
How to try the trend
All you need is your phone and you. So grab your phone, start recording and get creative with your hair. Why not start by allowing your hair to fall freely at your back? It's understated but beautiful. Then, experiment to determine what suits your face best by tucking your hair behind one ear, both ears, or none. Are you feeling a little daring?
Consider a pigtail or a traditional ponytail. A little hair moved to one side or a bun are other ways to add some flavour. Try out as many various hairstyles as you can without fear. The possibilities are endless, from braids to clamps and who knows, you can even find a brand new, ideal hairdo that becomes your signature.
