The cell reproduction of hair is the second most prolific of the human body, bone marrow being the first. This means that hair is extremelyensitive to changes going on within the body. A such overl health and diet iinfluences the quality and appearance of hair. Anorexics often have very fine, brittle hair deficient in various minerals. Analysis of the hair can also tell what drugs have been consumed. Hair analysis has played a large role in coronial inquiries and solving crimes.

Hair and Sex

It simply isn't possible to appreciate the importance of hair in our daily life without examining its role in a sexual context. Whether we realise it or not, when we smell, touch, fondle or caress someone's hair, the behaviour is a sexual act.

Regardless how much money we have, what we do for a living, or how perfect and flawless our body and attire might otherwise be, every woman knows that when her hair isn't right, she doesn't feel right. How our hair is cut, coloured or styled, telegraphs to the world our sexual aggressions, insecurities, confidence and personal feelings. Our hair is one of the most powerful facets of our physical self for affecting our self-esteem. We will readily reschedule an appointment with our lawyer, doctor, or accountant, before we will risk losing an opening with our favourite hairstylist.

Take a minute to think about how many times per day you check your hair in a mirror or the reflection in a window as you pass by. How many times do you touch it or for that matter, how often you think about our hair throughout the day? Why do we spend more personal care time on our hair than any other aspect of our appearance? Why does the way our hair feels, looks, or moves affect our mood and confidence so powerfully?

Simply put, well groomed, luxuriant, lustrous, hair proclaims the wearer to be healthy, youthful, beautiful and sexy. That's why when an attractive member of the opposite sex enters our vicinity and we register the possibility of an encounter our hand shoots straight up to ensure our hair is perfectly in place. If our genitalia is the primary sexual object, then our hair is the secondary sexual object. In most countries and cultures it is socially unacceptable (an illegal) to openly display one's genitals. It is precisely this social taboo that gives hair most of its power as a sexual object as it can usually be openly displayed, and even flaunted.

Some cultures consider women's long hair to be so sexually provocative that they have created laws and/or customs requiring the covering or removal of it and sometimes this spreads to covering the whole person. Some societies consider the sexual allure of hair so strongly that they will often shave the head as a form of punishment. In the case of the military, the head is shaved to destroy the psyche of self so that the soldier can be reprogrammed as one of a team where all are alike, if not exactly equal.

For females the colour and length is used to psychologically categorise the person. Redheads are labelled as wanton, brunettes as aggressive, and blondes as submissive. Long hair an indicator of fertility and availability, and short hair as independent and forceful. The thinning of female hair implies loss of sexuality and femininity. Lack of lustre and body indicates poor personal grooming. Male hair is symbolic of virility and strength. Thus the loss of hair can represent the loss of virility, strength and stamina, a symbolic castration of a man's masculinity.

When a divorce is filed both parties commonly make a dash for their hair salon. Subconsciously understanding that they need to make themselves back into a desirable acquisition for the opposite sex as dating will soon resume. If that were not reason enough to keep one's hair in the best possible shape and condition, in addition to dating, hair also impacts and in some cases determines our careers, promotions and friendships. We not only love hair and covet the hair of those that are blessed, we often consciously or unconsciously shun and avoid those with hair lesser than our own and view ourselves as superior as we use our hair to attract, flaunt, and seduce.

Hairstyles

The hairstyle worn by a person is both a display of their personality and self-value and an item of communication. It reveals social status and membership of a tribe or group. Consider the tonsured monk, the Mohawk of the punk, long hair of the hippy, the short-cropped hair of the soldier and the dreadlocks of the Rastafarians as exemplified by Bob Marley. Today in many cultures people have much greater freedom to choose the kind of hairstyle they feel best expresses their individuality than they used to feel they had.

Hair and hairstyles have a complex meaning and long history. The famous Ice-Age statuettes known as the Venus of Willendorf and of Brassempouy show clear evidence of stylised hair and these may be 30,000 years old.
