Writer's Note:
Written for the style savvy who knows her hair is a whole personality.
Today, we have been so endowed with an age of self curated eras. Online and offline, individuals define themselves through phases with fashion. Fashion, always being a mirror of emotions, all wrapped up in clothing styles, and artistic imprints. And as the popular saying goes 'Fashion speaks languages', ' it tells a truth, one words cannot'. However, we have so restricted fashion and it's definition to that of the term 'Outfit'. Clothings. How about we reintroduce a new narrative to this broad term and emphasize that fashion is no longer captured only by the clothes people wear or the playlist they stream, all soaked up in rhythm, or how good of an expressist they are, but by the energy they embody through a subtle yet bold canvas, their hairstyle
