Is Hair Length Indicative of Economic Times?

By Kellness · August 2, 2009 · 3 Comments · 80 Views

It all began with Hemline Theory, the theory that the hemline du jour on ladies dresses rises and falls as the stock market prices move up and down. The floor-length maxi dress trend in the past few years for example has been concurrent with hard economic times.

But forget Hemline Theory, there's a new trend on the market. In the midst recent tough times, the short hair-do has been all the rage.

A study based out of Japan has found that women tend to wear their hair long when the economy is good and short when the economy is in a slump.

Many celebs, like Rachel McAdams above, and trend-setters alike have reverted to cutting their locks short in search of a more manageable low-maintenance do, which also assumes less upkeep. 

Other celebs like Carmen Electra and R&B singer Cassie have taken short hair one step further by shaving a portion of their signature lengthy locks entirely.

So how about you? Are you embracing this anti-extension trend in search of something easier to upkeep and maintain?

Very interesting information. I personally feel long hair looks better on me so regardless of economic crisis or not, my locks are here to stay. Though a trim once a while would be good.... haha.
