What the theory is about
There are many entertainers who were able to stand out also thanks to their hair. A queen, in this, was Cher with her jet black maxi lengths. In recent times, among the most obvious cases, Billie Eilish with the hair with green roots, Niki Minaj with pink hair. All recognizable, if not unforgettable, styles that are well stored in the collective memory.
To support this theory, i creator of TikTok Nicky Reardon and Coco Mocoe, according to which the only way to defeat the constant overstimulation of our current culture is to have a distinctive hair look to stand out.
Ariana Grande’s famous “high ponytail”.
There is therefore some truth in stating that Is hair the characteristic feature that remains most impressed in people’s minds? Absolutely yes.
To support the theory, the “Ariana Grande case”. The singer’s personal stylist Law Roach has stated in various interviews that he is aware of the importance of pony tail on the image of the artist, so much so that it could become one of the keys to his success. Now, even though Grande experiments with new styles and hairstyles, every time someone wants to impersonate her she has to put on a high ponytail. And here the Hollywood Hair Theory proves correct. Touche.
