Hair, an artistic form of self-expression and Identity

Hair as an artistic form of self-expression

Much like fashion, hair speaks so much more than what some may think. In fact, hair is often used as a form of self-expression. Whether dying your luscious locks every colour of the rainbow, embracing the natural look or straightening your hair, there’s a lot more to hair than just “hair”. The cornrows and their fancy patterns represent a mood and an era. They show off the hair stylist’s talent and ability to express geometric skills. Hair complements an outfit and defines whether you are dressed up or down.
