"Hair has great social significance for human beings. It can grow on most external areas of the human body, except on the palms of the hands and the soles of the feet (among other areas). Hair is most noticeable on most people in a small number of areas, which are also the ones that are most commonly trimmed, plucked, or shaved. These include the face, ears, head, eyebrows, legs, and armpits, as well as the pubic region. The highly visible differences between male and female body and facial hair are a notable secondary sex characteristic."
Hair is strongly associated with the following:
- functional and decorative ornamentation
- gender
- religion
- indication of status
- marital status
- life transitions
- social class
- sexual attraction
- career success
- musical affinity
- age
- political statement
Hair is part of our history, it's importance in social roles dating as far as 30,000 years. A figurine known as the Venus of Brassempouy shows indisputable evidence of hairstyling as detailed by the oldest known reproduction of hair braiding:
