Why Hair?

I honestly don’t remember if it was Marta or maybe Ania… but I remember that moment so clearly. We were chatting about work, life… and suddenly I lit up (as I often do) and said:

.

“You know what? I live through hair. It’s everything I love.”

And I truly meant it.

.

But, as it usually goes — later that evening, I sat with my tea, thinking about the meaning of hair, and how it shapes the way we feel.… and the other question arrived:

.

Why, though? I mean… it’s just hair.

.

What could possibly be that fascinating about it? And then the overthinking began. A long night of wondering, wandering… But in the end, it was worth it. I had a few thoughts I wanted to share with you. Because you know what? Hair might be more than we think. (Or maybe I just want to feel important for a second 😂)

.

I remember one of my clients who went through a time of grief. Four months of natural roots… and then suddenly a darker band. Different texture. Different tone. Like her hair had paused… and remembered that time.

And that’s when it hit me:

Hair is a map.

.

.

It holds the stories we sometimes don’t know how to say.

And maybe I’ve learned to read that map.

Sometimes I ask myself — what’s kept me in this profession for so many years? It’s not the colour (though I do love when the result is instant and satisfying).

.

But that’s not it.

.

It’s the curiosity.

The people.

The mystery that lives in their hair.

.

I used to be all about colour. Now, more and more, I’m searching for meaning.

.

Like…

.

Why does hair lose volume when someone’s emotionally drained?

Why doesn’t it shine — even freshly washed — when someone is sad?

Why do some styles just… not work, even when everything is done right?

.

Maybe because hair is… a mirror. A mirror of emotions. A keeper of memories. A map of where we’ve been.

.

And that’s why I’ve decided to finally dig deeper.

.

To check if all these stories I’ve seen and heard for years have roots in something more. Maybe it’s time I follow this path that fascinates me — and take you along for the ride. Not with another shampoo (let’s be honest, my clients probably know more shampoos than I do 😎)…

.

But with stories.

I want to explore cultures.

Legends.

Hidden meanings I’ve always felt in my gut. To see if they match what I’ve seen in real life. Maybe it’s not just intuition. Maybe it’s memory.

.

And so, I’ve decided:

I’m officially stepping into explorer mode.

.

You’ll be seeing more posts like this — full of rituals, stories, little secrets from different places and times. All about hair. About us. About what connects it all.

.

This journey began with a simple curiosity — the meaning of hair, and how much it truly reflects who we are. If you feel like joining me — I’d love to take you on this journey.

Let’s listen to what hair has to say.
