Confirmation, hairstyles affect your self esteem


 

Medical community confirms it! Hairstyles affect your self esteem . . . Duhh!

I really get a kick out of these scientists who confirm the obvious and then try to make you think they have made some kind of breakthrough? Well here is a classic example.

Women figured this out while living in the caves and this guy makes it sounds like it didn’t exist until his study. What was interesting and a bit surprising was how young it all starts.

Don’t you wish your mom had spent more time teaching you how to have great looking hairstyles?
