Hair – Man’s Crowning Glory

January 23rd, 2010

Hair is a simple protein filament that covers the body of any mammal. However for human beings, hair stands as the primary styling object. And depending on the hair style, the look of an individual can be altered dramatically. Hair also stands as a symbol of health and youth.

For men, hair stands as a prime object of glory. Facial hair marks the transition of a boy to a man.
