Getting too accustomed to wearing my short blonde wig, I want to spice things up and discover how changing the style of my own hair affects others’ perceptions of me.
Joanne Entwistle, (2000:15) in her text The Fashioned Body, describes the relationship between the body and situation. With reference to shaggy hair and sleek hair, she describes how both these hairstyles are loaded with symbolism and says a lot about a person’s character.
For the remainder of this experiment I want to try these hairstyles and ask others what they feel it reveals about my character and where they would expect to find these hairstyles in society.
