At any age, every lady knows that hair is a huge, big deal in any culture. A “good hair” day enhances our state of mind and self-esteem; a “bad hair” can put us in a down funk.

Throughout the arc of history, hair has actually been a trademark of a woman’s brand.

Judaism, Islam, and Christianity established strict guidelines governing hair, early on acknowledging its fundamental impact on vanity and womanly destination. Even with today’s loosened up standards, covering one’s head remains an expression of modesty, particularly in a sacred setting.

Contemporarily, the colour, texture, volume, and chosen hairstyle highlight its cultural– even political– significance.
