A head full of hair is a thing of beauty and delight forever. Hair symbolises supremacy, distinction, liberty and freedom. Hair is also science, not just art. It is serious business, no less — not a conjurer’s ‘craft,’ or self-styled ‘experts’ masquerading with their ‘hair-raising’ miracle potions, where the remedy seems to be worse than the hair problems they purport to ‘cure.’

Healthy hair amplifies your looks. It makes you look attractive, youthful and desirable. It improves your quality of life [QoL], including your interactions with people, relationships, success at the workplace and business — not to speak of romance and matrimony. It also celebrates instant sensuous appeal, and augmented desire, because the idea of sexuality is as powerful as healthy, fulsome hair. On the other hand, independent of hair care and tress embellishment, hair loss affects our psyche — most often negatively with loss of selfesteem, or ‘lack of prettiness.’

Hair has more to it than what appears on the surface. It speaks a good deal about us than what the stars foretell, or the latest hair styles symbolise. In fact, the ‘status’ of our hair and scalp can provide insightful cues vis-à-vis a host of ‘latent’ health disorders. The scientific reason being our hair is not just ‘dead’ protein. It is like a compass, or radar, that connotes what is happening deep inside our mind and body.

FUNDAMENTAL ALLURE

Hair, from time immemorial, has always been a fundamental allure. It reflects and affects how people think or feel about themselves. Dapper hair for men, as much as long, smooth curls and deep, rich lustre for women are essential ingredients of beauty, like Rapunzel’s exquisite, long hair luring one’s prince charming.
