The desire to experiment is understandable. A few years ago, a survey by Mortar Research, commissioned by Hair by Sam McKnight, revealed that a third of women feel their hair negatively affects their mood.

Additionally, 50% of respondents reported being unhappy with their hair half the time, while 70% said they feel self-conscious when dissatisfied with their hairstyle.

Sam McKnight, a celebrity hairstylist and founder of Hair by Sam McKnight, emphasizes that hair has a profound impact beyond appearance.

"Good hair is transformative," he explained. "It affects your mental and emotional health – your self-worth, self-confidence, how you interact with people, your productivity, how you hold yourself, what you believe about yourself, your resiliency. Everything is impacted when you aren’t happy with your hair."

Just think about it: those whose hair has textures that require more maintenance may find it difficult to achieve a natural look if they want one. Many invest time in tools like straighteners or blow dryers, often to combat frizz or unpredictable waves, and for some, the pressure to keep their hair looking perfect can feel overwhelming, thus, impacting their mood and their social life.

Another poll from the UK found that 1 in 20 women will spend more than $62,500 during their lifetime on coloring their hair.

Results from the survey of 2,000 respondents suggested that they spent at least $125 visiting a salon every six-and-a-half weeks for a color change.

One in four said they would spend $23,000 over their lifetime—or the equivalent of $365 annually—altering the natural color of their hair.

Blonde was the color most likely to be chosen, with 44 percent of women going for highlights or something similar.

The study also found that the average respondent would go through 6 different hairstyles in their lifetime and 4 varieties of color.

Just 18 percent of those polled maintained the same hair color their entire life.

The average respondent waited until they were 20 years old before experimenting with hair dye, but one-third admitted to trying it out in their early teens.

Overall, 55 percent said they felt better about themselves when they had a new hair color and 8 in 10 admitted their confidence levels were directly affected by their condition with their hair.

So these pictures don't lie!
