Smooth, curly, curly, long or short, shaved or bald head, colored or natural, our hair attracts attention and participates in the construction of our identity.
Publicity
Revealing our tastes, fashions, our complexes too, a hairstyle or a haircut is less superficial than it seems.
Our hair, as a way of presenting oneself to others, makes it possible to mark one's belonging.
Between rites and traditions, they are part of a long social and cultural history.
