Is there a more universal gesture than brushing your hair? There are several schools of thought in the morning: professional hairstylists who spend long minutes there, those who leave it natural, or even those who skillfully style their hair. According to TikTok, each method will reveal a lot about our personality. Last March, a trend emerged called the Hair Theory, which states that our hairstyles reflect who we really are. Behind this idea is even the hypothesis that it is the hairstyle that chooses us and not the other way around.
Just for your hair
How we wear our hair defines who we are. Philosopher Emmanuel Levinas, long before TikTok, also put forward a theory. the first thing we see in others is the face, and from this physical experience comes the idea that the face is a reflection of both the other and the self. If we follow his reasoning, we can think that the hairstyle reveals us, even confuses us. In recent days, we’ve seen videos tagged “Hair Theory” flourish on TikTok, a kind of psychoanalysis through hair. With over 512 million views, this trend tends to show the power that hairstyles can have on self-expression…

Whisper in hair’s ear
“Long Hair, Short Ideas” was sung by Johnny Hallyday in 1966. Of these slightly dated words aimed at hippies, we’ll keep only the title, revealing the era, but also the idea that a hairstyle says a lot about its wearer. . So, according to this postulate, TikTokers themselves have created a kind of hair-reading network. For example, the long cut is what symbolizes femininity, but also the desire to be included, in the sense that most women wear this hairstyle; a pixie cut, on the other hand, is a reflection of a free person who does not conform to doxa. Those who wear a mid-length cut have a versatile and relaxed personality based on the two previously mentioned systems of thought.
Still, according to TikTok users, the nature of hair, natural or not, is also not insignificant. Straight hair is a sign that you are glamorous and like to work on your image. Those who don’t wear their hair down, on the other hand, are more spontaneous and unfiltered. Meanwhile, curly hair shows your vulnerability and dynamism.
When it comes to style, it can’t be an innocent gesture either. Thus, women who preach elegance above all else or even self-control wear a bun, while those with a practical and functional spirit wear a ponytail. Braids are a sign of a mischievous, almost childlike character, and the “wet look” will be a way to assert one’s charm, decidedly and proudly seductive.
Far from being commands, these explanations are thankfully indicative. So, you can wear a mid-length cut and be glamorous, or you can wear wool and be spontaneous. There are no good or bad hairstyles…
