The psychology of celebrity hairstyles
Hairstyles suggest certain personality traits and they are used
by celebrities to highlight this. Hairstyle is a form of communication that without verbalizing indicates
to the persons you are in contact with, about the personality you have.
So celebrities who are constantly in the public eye are attempting
through their hairstyles to indicate to their fans and well wishers some
aspect of their personality which they wish to highlight without having
to make any public pronouncements.
 A bald celebrity hairstyle
They say bald is sexy. Male celebrities who have opted for this style
are Bruce Willis, Mike Tyson and the footballer Zinedine Zidane. There
have also been female celebrities like Sinead O’Connor who had also
opted for this style. Quite often a bald style is resorted to by
celebrities who are already having some problems with a bald spot, a
receding hairline or hair loss. By going bald the celebrity gets rid of
this problem for all time and presents a more sexually attractive
personality. Not every celebrity can opt for this alternative, as an
irregularly shaped head or one with scars may turn out to be more of an
eyesore. Short hairstyle
Short hairstyles generally indicate a personality that is active,
diligent and hard working. So celebrities who are into sports or in the
police or military opt for such hairstyles as the personality traits are
needed by them for the job they are in. The Buzz haircut is part of this
style and is very famous in the music industry especially among rappers
and rockers. Basketball stars generally prefer short hairstyles, but
this is probably more to do with the playing conditions they are
constantly under. Celebrities with short hairstyles are Geena Davis,
Halle Berry, Eddie Murphy and Wentworth Miller.
 Mohawk and Punk Hairstyles
This is a hairstyle much in favor with punk rock stars and sports
stars that are constantly in the news. Billie Joe Armstrong has a punk
hairstyle. David Beckham and Ewan McGregor sport Faux Hawk hairstyles.
The hairstyle indicates a rebellious nature and someone who always wants
to bend the rules and be seen to be against authority and yet having a
sense of humor.
Changing hairstyles
A celebrity who is constantly changing his hairstyle is seen to be an
adventurous type who has the courage and creativity to keep changing his
looks. This indicates a lot of confidence in him and such persons have
the assurance that anything they do will be acceptable to their fans.
Quite often they are trendsetters and will change a hairstyle as soon as
it becomes too commonly visible. Russell Crowe is one celebrity who is
constantly changing his hairstyles to suit the characters that he plays
in the films he acts in. High Maintenance hairstyles
Celebrities who have hairstyles that require a lot of maintenance in
its dyeing and styling are those who have plenty of money and are very
sure of their place in the world. They know that their hairstyle
requires time and money and they have the money to spend as well as the
confidence that their fans and adherents will not mind waiting for them
while they indulge this vanity of theirs. Mischa Barton sports such a
hairstyle.
A haircut or hairstyle makes a direct change in our body in next to no
time. This phenomenon causes the personality of the person also to
undergo variations depending on how he or she perceives their image in a
mirror. And a hairstyle is one of the first things that is noticed in
any person when he enters a room. So a hairstyle can change the
perception that people have of you and are therefore used by celebrities
to make a statement about themselves through their hairstyles.
