Why More Women are Focusing on Hair Rather than Makeup

Although it has become the norm for many women to start their days by applying a range of eye shadows, eye liners, lash curlers, mascaras, blush, concealers, foundations, moisturizers, lip sticks and other makeup products to their faces each morning, the trend seems to be slowing. Instead, they are choosing to focus more time and effort on their hairstyles for a variety of reasons.

Unrealistic Expectations from Society

In most cases, society has grown used to the idea of women always having to have a perfect or at least near-perfect appearance before going out in public. This has resulted in many women toiling for hours each day to ensure that all the lumps, bumps and other so-called ‘undesirable traits’ such as crow’s feet, fine lines and wrinkles and other minor blemishes are as concealed as possible before ‘daring’ to face the day. As time goes on though, these women are realizing that, instead of spending hundreds or even thousands on makeup products, a smart haircut style actually makes them look far more attractive than any blush or concealer stick ever could.

Save Time

When questioned about their regular morning routines, numerous women stated that they can spend anywhere between 45 minutes and 3 hours applying the above mentioned range of products to their faces each morning and a further 15 to 30 minutes removing them at night. In an average week, this amounts to spending between 3 and 21 hours each week on their appearances. By ditching the makeup in favor of a quality haircut style, many of these women reported that the time they spent on their appearances each day was reduced significantly – in many cases to no more than 30 minutes per day.

Save Money

Many women have come to realize that their regular makeup routines were costing them hundreds of dollars each month – all of which had to be carefully cleansed off and removed from their faces each night anyway. According to an article that was published on a well-known New Zealand-based website, eliminating the morning makeup routine enabled a lot of women to save anywhere between $50 and $500 a month when these products were no longer being purchased – certainly not a figure to be sniffed at.

Finding your Life Cut

Instead of wasting hundreds on makeup each month, more women are instead choosing to find their life cut when it comes to hairstyles – that is, a style that flatters their features, looks decent with a minimal amount of styling and is completely practical for their everyday lifestyles. Although the overall style of a life cut stays the same, the hair length can be changed as needed and it can be styled in whichever way the wearer likes – in other words, it can also adapt to changing trends.

Women who have become frustrated with their hair and who would like to find out what will work best as their particular life cut should consult with a hairstylist who is reputable as well as extensively experienced.
