What do you think of your hair style?

Recently I've been thinking about why we love and/ or hate our hair. Hair styles come and go quicker than the seasons, usually within a couple of months. Personally, I'm male, I have a receding hair line with thinning in the front and around the crown. It doesn't bother me, I've always kept it cut short all of my life. I also have very fine, soft hair that is pretty easy to manage. I do know some men who are in my shoes that don't like their hair so they were a hairpiece (see example: The "Ron" piece).

Having worked in hair salons for several years its interesting to me to see the ways men and women view their hair. The truth is most men I know are just as concerned with the way their hair cuts go, as their wives or girlfriends are about how, say, a color service goes, they just don't talk about it as much. This brings me to my wife and her hair. She has a glorious head of long blond hair that I love! She loves it too, most of the time. Like most women I know she has days when she adores her hair, and others when she wants to cut it all off. Her hair type is thick and coarse, very healthy, but hard to manage. She recently complained of her hair not being long enough so I got her some Jessica Simpson Hairdo Extensions and she loved them! She realized she could have super long hair for a few hours, then go back to normal.

Thick coarse hair isn't the only hair type that you can have or the only one that people struggle with. It seems that when people have straight hair, they want it curly. When they have naturally curly hair, they want it straight. People with flat hair want more volume. People with thick coarse hair want it more straight. The challenges are endless, however women today have so many more options for wigs and hair extensions than they used to, but I'm not sure the secret is out yet?

Advances in wig making have greatly increased in the past 10 years. The wig caps are lighter and more comfortable. The hair lines are less noticeable with the invention of lace fronts. Wigs and hair extensions made from human hair are much cheaper and easier to find than ever before. So remember the next time you have a bad hair day, it doesn't have to be that way, and you can fix it without seeing your stylist.

How do you feel about your hair? Do you agree/disagree with this blog post? I'd love to hear your thoughts.
