What is it about hair? References to our "crowning glory" abound in our historical and cultural experience, a shared consciousness about what it means to have, or to not have, this most outwardly evident portion of our human anatomy. So why is hair so important to us, what is its significance and why do we universally care so much about it? Well, let’s examine some of these questions.
For one thing, it is so obvious. Rarely concealed by clothing, it is one of the first characteristics that other people notice about us. When someone asks for a description of an individual, here’s what usually comes to mind: "He’s a tall, blond guy, with long hair like a Viking"… "she’s a beautiful brunette"… "Medium build, dark, curly hair"… "an impressive shock of thick, white hair"… "light-skinned, with dreadlocks or cornrows"… "fat and balding"… "she’s a real redhead!"… "he was cute, with poofy hair like an ‘80’s rock star".
Notice something common to all these descriptions of obviously quite different people? Sure, it’s the hair. Before eye color, nose shape, sometimes even before height and weight, people comment on hair: length, color, style, or the absence thereof. This is a large part of what we present to the world, like it or not. It is also inevitably present in our concepts of beauty.
