How often do you change your hair?
We all know how much Rihanna and Katy Perry like to change their hair, but what about the average woman? How many times does she do something different to her locks?
A new study has revealed that the average woman will work her way through 150 hairstyles in a lifetime. Each year between the ages of 15 and 65, the typical female will have her hair cut into a different style twice and try at least once different colour.
The main reason for change? Quite simple boredom with their current look, seeing a celebrity with something they like or going through a big life change.
Sacha Mascolo-Tarbuck, Global Creative Director for Toni&Guy, which commissioned the research to mark its 50th anniversary, said: “It’s great to see that most women will experiment with their hair during their life, rather than stick the same tried and tested look. A new hairstyle or colour can be a great way to brighten up your appearance or even celebrate a big life change or milestone event.
“If you like being the centre of attention and keeping up with the latest trends, nothing does this more than a radical cut or colour. And if you aren’t brave enough to go for a completely different look, just going for a slightly lighter or darker shade than usual, or chopping more off the ends, can still have the same effect.”
The study of 2,000 women revealed that in an average year, there will be five visits to the hairdressers – a total of 250 between the ages of 15 and 65. And during those trips, women will go for a completely different colour once every year, or fifty times in total.
More than one in twenty even admitted they always try and go for something different every time they go to the hairdressers, while another 47% will experiment with something a little different to their norm.
