LOOK GREAT, FEEL GOOD With well cut and styled tresses
Hair plays a crucial role in every girl’s life; it makes them feel complete and confident. According to the survey, most girls throughout the world – a whopping 97 per cent, in fact – admit that how their hair looks affects how they
feel about themselves.
Over two-thirds of all girls surveyed (66 per cent in India) felt that hair is the best reflection of their personality – the physical expression of who they are. “Naturally, when my hair does not look good, I feel inferior, anxious and afraid of facing the world. My hair gives me a major complex at such times,” says Navita Gupta, a young working executive. Bad hair can give you a complex and prevent you from presenting a confident face to the world. Shilpa Dey, an athlete says, “Since I am a sportswoman, I always keep my hair short. But, my elder sister has long, flowing hair. Whenever we attend family functions, I get a complex because of my sister’s lovely hair. Then I go into a groove because I am not able to attract as much attention as she does!”
Even hair experts feel there is an intimate connection between hair and confidence levels. Jawed Habib, for instance, says, “Bad hair can make you lose confidence and peace of mind. It is the easiest way to get a complex. ”
Dr. Ramprakash Jha, a psychologist explains, “In today’s competitive world, it is easy to develop a complex about anything . Hair affects the way you feel about yourself. don’t let your hair make you feel anxious, afraid, sad and negative. ”
Asserting that ‘Life is ruled by hair’, Bollywood actor Priyanka Chopra says, “Hair plays a crucial role in our life. You can use it to transform the way you look and feel. However, if you don’t pay much attention to your hair, you will end up getting a complex.”
Break-ups
Bad hair days are common in the lives of the fairer sex! Did you know that 22 per cent of Indian girls, as compared to 32 per cent of their global counterparts are most likely to ruin their date on a bad hair day? And many of them could actually break-up with their partners on such days!
The survey found that on bad hair days, 33 per cent of Indian girls admitted that they would prefer to stay at home!
Is there a connection between hair and flirting? Well, research seems to suggest that nine out of ten girls admit to flirting more when their hair looks good.
“I call it high-heeled behaviour. When a girls wears heels she walks differently, stands differently and behaves more confidently, and it’s the same when a girl feels her hair looks great – she acts differently, flirts and is in ‘top form’,” says Andrew Barton, U.K. hair stylist.
According to the survey conducted by the haircare brand, nearly 70 per cent of girls surveyed across six countries (61 per cent in India) agreed that the minute their hair is done they want to go out there and make the most of it.”
According to the survey, for over three quarters of girls, hair magically transforms the way they feel about themselves (77 per cent of Indian girls). And feeling good about your hair makes you able to make the most of the day.
Girls across the world insist that they check their hair before an important event such as a meeting or a date. With 40 per cent of girls, hair is rated above make-up, clothes and shoes.
The survey observed that Indian girls were the most likely to take a day off work or cancel a meeting when they were unhappy with their hair.
Says Priyanka Chopra, “ It has been said time and again that how you look at yourself is how the world looks at you.”
