004 What should be the object of hairdressing?

Topics for discussion: 004, Hairdressing

No doubt, a well-groomed decently-styled hair will definitely make our face and head more presentable.

There is basically nothing wrong in trying to present our hair in a more acceptable form to the Society.

There are fashion models and celebrities, who have used their hair(s) not only as instruments of making some greenbacks, but also as great money-spinners.

We can probably emulate them, if our object is to make money.

But, if our goal is just to live a civilised life with due dignity and self-respect, and to present our face as an icon of our own unique personality, then, we shall have to probably allocate due space and time for the regime of maintenance of hair, which is not disproportionately large when compared to the time we spend on presenting our other parts of the body to the society.

Keeping this objective in mind, we can probably allocate some parameters and weightages for each aspect of hair dressing. Some examples of such parameters can be:-

What should be the frequency of cleaning and shampooing our hair?

How much time does combing and dressing take place?

Do we really need to dye our hair?

Won't we need to know that our natural hair color and structure can also add a unique handsomeness to our face, which we continue to ignore owing to our fads and misconceptions?

Does the hair-style chosen by us tend to clutter our face and head?

What is the money expense involved in maintaining and changing our hair-styles?

Do the money-expense and time-expense involved burn us out, leaving no time for us to attend to our priority chores of maintaining our health and children?

Can a cap / hat / some other head-gear add good looks to our face / head, without the time-expense / money-expense which we are investing on maintaining our hair-style now? Here, we have to keep in mind the cost of maintaining the cap / hat / headgear (laundrying it, folding it etc.). The headgear should also be such that it should not become necessary for us to remove it indoors, exposing our ill-groomed hair to viewer-grimaces. (To continue)
