I’ve
just discovered a new hairstyle… and no hairdressers involved! Visiting the West Country for Easter, I
rediscovered the ‘natural curl’ present in a damper environmentJ
I’ve also had that rare luxury of being able to read the
papers for more than 5 minutes! How
appropriate then to read Glenda Cooper’s
account in The Telegraph and reasons for changing hairstyles
through the ages, I’m sure you’ll be able to relate to many of those cited!
She notes that we give away more than we realise about our
state of mind through our hair, whether we hold on to styles through the
decades (The Queen, Jerry Hall) or morph frequently (Madonna , Victoria
A change in relationship, lifestyle, life stage, job or
career can prompt a need to change hairstyle, which could
include colour and/or style. Wigs have
long been used as a disguise, to ring the changes or to hide changes brought on
by health issues. As with glasses and shoes, our hair is an
accessory.
Hair
is an easily changeable element of our identity but the problem arises when you
consider we make most changes on the back of an emotional charge. Cheaper than a completely new wardrobe, less
controversial than Botox, less permanent than surgery, faster than weight loss,
not permanent, it can still be traumatic to some; we all want to get it right.
The good news is that Personal Branding enables you to bring
some objectivity and logic to the emotional motivation. You can ring the changes while honouring who
you are. Working within your colour
season, warm or cool, ensures you confidently ring the colour changes in line
with your natural colouring. Switching
from bob to layers, long to short, curly to straight, can all be achieved but
move away from working WITH your colouring and personality and you may end up
with the kind of style that you’d like to forget but everyone else remembers!
It’s possible to ring the changes and look your best,
feeling great rather than self-conscious.
We all have several styles that can look classy, elegant and stylish;
it’s about working in partnership with your House of Colour consultant and your
hairdresser to discover them.
My West Country break’s now over and my regular hairdresser
appointment is booked; I wonder what will be discovered next!
