Hairstyles For Women – Those That Stay With Us

I have just been reading an interesting article in the Daily Mail about how some women tend to keep their childhood hairstyle well into their adult years and it got me thinking. What is it about hairstyles for women? I, too, still retain the ponytail that I sported as a young child and apparently I am in good company with the likes of Jemima Khan, Keira Knightley and Patsy Kensit, all of whom remain faithful to the hairstyles of their youth. So why is this I wonder? Are we as ladies somehow programmed to keep to the same style that (presumably) our mother chose for us at a tender age? Is this just a matter of keeping with the hairstyle that we are comfortable with – be it the fringe or the bangs we can hide behind, or just that we are creatures of habit?

Hairstyles for women - Ponytail

Many celebrities make headlines with the dramatic and sometimes shocking changes they make to their looks – hairstyles for women are always newsworthy! Think about Kim Kardashian and her recent change to blonde as blonde can be. I have known friends who have changed their hairstyle dramatically in response to a life event such as breaking up with a boyfriend obviously necessitating a drastic haircut. Presumably this is a cathartic exercise – a way of breaking free from the past and preparing for the future, and in this case future relationships.

So ladies, next time you contemplate a drastic change to your own lovely locks, take a moment to think, would I be better sticking with the familiar, the face that I am used to seeing in the mirror every morning, or should I be brave and embrace a whole new image? A new me.

If you want to retain your current style but feel the need for a change of image, consider hair extensions or a wig. They are much easier to apply these days and merge in with your natural colour beautifully – unless you want to make a statement with wildly coloured hair! A salon such as Miss20 will be more than happy to help you decide what you would like to do with your hair and what image would suit you.
