When looking at a person, one of the first impressions you have of them is how they wear their hair. All people have all different types of hair. Every religion and every race has a different way they wear it.
Hair is more than just something that is on a person; it is something that is a part of them— a way to express yourself.
Women and men feel empowered through hair and use it to express themselves.

Hair is one of the most important features on your body. Even if you do not prefer any hair style, it is mandatory to keep it tamed. In order to do that, hair care companies provide shampoos and hair products for healthy hair. According to the The Middle East and Africa market, the variation of the hair products, hair colors, styling products, oils, conditioners and shampoos are influencing more consumers across the region to buy.
Hair is one part of a person that is very versatile. People can wear their hair up on a lazy day, in a braid or even just in a plain ponytail. When it comes to braids, there are many different types of braiding people do: cornrows, individuals, Havana twist, French braids, faux loss and more.
These different styles give people a way to show a more fun, funky style. The products that are used for different hair styles also vary. There are different types of gels, hair mousse, holding sprays and straight or curly hair sprays.
