Hair has played an important role in people’s confidence and self-image even during the ancient times. As long ago as the Greek and Roman empires, detailed wigs were symbols of wealth and stature in society. Cleopatra, Queen of the Nile, was famous for her thick, black hair. The Bible’s Samson had long hair that symbolized divine strength. Political figures and judges also wore wigs as a sign of wisdom, neutrality, and fairness. Our ancestors thought taking care of our hair is essential and we still do today.
It’s important to make a great impression. This is why we spend, over our lifetime, thousands of hours perfecting how our hair should look. We constantly search for the most suitable haircut, color, and texture. Our moods are influenced by good and bad hair days. Our hair matters more than we think because we use it to express the identity and aura we desire others to perceive.
Author and philosopher Alain de Botton says, “We are using our hair to speak. We’re trying, through the syntax of colored protein filaments, to express key aspects of our soul – and to communicate some of the deepest truths about who we are.”
So what does your current hairstyle say about your personality? Let’s have a look.
Side parting: You are compassionate

You are a caring listener. You have a big heart who knows how to celebrate with others, and you also know how to grieve with someone in pain. You are generous with praises and comforting words. You give honest feedback with no ulterior motives. You are reliable and knows how to be there for people in times of vulnerability.
In his blog, de Botton thinks that there’s something about putting our hair on side parting that tells people that we’re emphatic and patient.
“We’re using (side-parted) hair to tell others that we’re careful, modest, patient, sensible and very willing to be realistic. We can be relied upon.”

You are friendly and great at conversations. Your ready smile makes it easy for people to approach you. You are down to earth and knows how to carry yourself amidst a crowd, and you sure have your way of standing out.
Hollywood icon Marilyn Monroe for which the term “blonde bombshell” was coined, played a huge role in the association with blonde as being the most attractive hair color. Blondes are known to be likable and sexy. A study by Viren Swami and Seishin Berrett published in the Scandinavian Journal of Psychology found that British men found women with blonde hair needy yet more approachable than women with other hair colors.
The study employed a woman test subject to hang out in nightclubs for a few weeks. Throughout the experiment, she changed her hair color three times – blonde, brunette, red. The researchers “observed and counted how many men approached her during a one-hour period.” Results showed she was approached most frequently when her hair was blonde. Compared to the 42 men who approached her while being a brunette, 60 men expressed interest in her while blonde.

You’re a risk-taker and a go-getter. Short coiffures are usually seen as more professional-looking than longer locks in an office setting. Having a short hair saves you time from long hours of drying and styling. This style is basically wash-and-wear. And that’s how you like things done– quick and organized.
Manning’s study also found that most of the students’ surveyed found women with short hair to be more low maintenance, intelligent, and happier than their long hair counterparts.
To quote the study, “Brunettes with long hair were considered to be higher maintenance than the brunettes with short hair, while the brunette with short hair was perceived as more intelligent than the brunette with long hair. More participants considered the redhead with short hair to be happier than the redhead with long hair. The blonde with long hair was perceived to be more attractive and higher maintenance than the blonde with short hair.”

You’re probably someone who tries out a new cafe on its opening day because you have adventurous taste buds. You regard every situation, good or bad, as a learning experience. Chances are, you won’t stay on Yaki hair for long too.
Vanessa King from Minnesota State University conducted a 2013 study which sought to find college black women’s motivation for getting their hair straightened. They found that the women did it out of love for playful experimentation.
To quote the study, “They wanted to relax their hair because the female figures and peers in their lives were getting relaxers and trying different hairstyles. African college women felt that, as they were getting older, their choice was based on finding another way to do their hair, especially on their own.”

To quote the study, “All participants with natural hair said that natural hair contributes to defining who they are because it reflects their personality and also shows that they are proud of who they are naturally.” Another participant in the study also stated, “I see it as a way to take back my dignity as a black woman, to show that I am not an object that will change to please men or anyone else for that matter.”
