Style and Color needed?

Hair is one of the main components we can change in our physical look. It can be styled, lengthened, shortened, and even colored to your liking. Most of the times people style their hair to fit them making hair a common easy way to stereotype just like color and race. A stereotype of this kind would be hardcore metal lovers who are known for their long hair while punk genre is know for the Mohawk. Or how blonds are known for being.

  

Another huge stereotype of a blond would be 'being a lot of fun and popular'. Blonde hair has that connection with the young youth group. Most natural blond babies and children often have hair that darkens as they get older. Because of this and because blonde hair hides grey hair - women will frequently choose to dye or highlight their strands with blonde when they reach middle age, in an attempt to preserve their young appearance.

Just like race, hair can dictate whether if you gain or lose opportunity. For instance a person with spiked Mohawk style of hair is looked at as unprofessional because the person who is making this judgement is not respectful of that persons character. Just because there is a huge common stereotyped criticism of a certain hair style does not mean that person belongs to that stereotype just like a person of a certain race wouldn't fit their racial stereotypes.

Styling of hair comes from a persons individuality, they style out their hair to fit the life style of their choosing and should not be judged upon that rather than the characteristics of the person. Judging a person by the type of hair they have is like judging a person by the color of their skin.
