Research from Marcial Losada and Barbara Frederickson  supports “Effects of Positive Attitude on Flourishing”.

We feel best when we look in the mirror and like the Image that reflects back at us.  The simplest way to interject is by investing and caring in some thing we wear everyday:  Our hair!  Professional styling diminishes the “bad hair day” affect by gracefully maintaining a shape over the maturity of 4-6 week period.  Costing out a polished Coiffed style and youthful color costs less than daily Starbucks coffee and the benefits are priceless.

“Bad Hair Days“ by Dr. Marianne LaFrance Professor of Psychology and of Women’s and Gender Studies at Yale University analyzes information on how individuals feel during a “bad hair day,” found:

* Individuals’ self-esteem increase self-doubt

*Intensify social insecurities

*Yields self-critical thoughts

The Yale study produced astonishing results:

*Lowers Self-Esteem Regarding Performance,

*Intensifying social insecurities-

Women tend to feel more disgraced, embarrassed, ashamed or self-conscious during a ‘Bad Hair Day’.

Men on the other hand, feel more nervous, less confident and are more inclined to be unsociable.

Specifically, results indicate that a ‘Bad Hair Day’ leads individuals to find more personal character flaws that go beyond their appearance

“Interestingly, both women and men are negatively affected by the phenomenon of bad hair days,” says Professor LaFrance. “Even more fascinating is our finding that individuals perceive their capabilities to be significantly lower than others when experiencing bad hair.”
We wear are hair everyday while an article of clothing range from once a week, twice a month ect…An article of clothing costs out more per month than what you wear everyday.  Your hair, good, bad or indifferent sets the Stage for the day.  Set yours for optimum success!

Feeling good about yourself everyday is a priority and essential to your broadening social skills, increasing your self-esteem and develops a positive attitude, which improves performance.  Investing in feeling good is essential for survival in the world we now live in.  Evidence supports and shows that ‘bad hair’ or mediocre hair causes one to be more negative about one’s self. Attitude changes as a response to communication of the message you see daily and hear for others for example “You look great today, did you do something?” verses “Are you feeling ok?’  Grab your positive attitude daily.  Ask the stylist to show you how to achieve results in styling daily.  Experienced and professional stylists will take the time and energy to ensure your success in maintaining your look.

The positive attitude is a winning tactic you can implement with simply obtaining the perfect style for your face shape, body structure, skin tone and lifestyle.  You’re never too young or old to learn how to look and feel good!

Colors we surround ourselves with play an intricate part in our confidence, which precludes our happiness.  Whether choosing hair color or garment colors, skin tone and personality are the two major considerations before any choices are selected.

The theory of color is based on individual skin tone.  Warm toned or cool toned, with the rare individual being both like a chameleon.  A simple way to test which one you are is to hold a piece of gold cloth then a silver piece. With one your skin will radiate.  The other will make you look sallow.  Gold is warm; silver is cool.  An alternative is to try an orange-red and blue-red fabric. Neutrals in clothing (black, gray, brown and taupe) work for everyone.

Once you have discovered your tone, look at the color wheel. Cool colors are in the blue, green, and purple hues.  Warm colors are in the yellow, orange and red hues.  Typically these families fall in the opposing family if the underlying base is from that color family. An example would be a red-blue tone like magenta. 

You’ll feel much more confident in colors that compliment your skin tone.  Personality is key in your color choices.  If a vivacious outgoing warm skin toned individual wears a subdued color — for example a flat brown hair color or a muted powdery pink blouse — this will be a confidence killer.  But, a flattering sun kissed, golden brown hair color with a hot pink garment will radiate confidence.  Eva Longoria Parker is a great example.
