 And today's little video is- I am so sorry. Polytechnic life tends to be like that. But you know what? It doesn't even matter. I am here in my room, this is my background, so it's all good. Bad hair days and how they affect our mental state. Now once upon a time I had long hair. It was up to my butt almost and I had it in braids every single day. Pretty much every single day. And because of that I never really felt like I had a bad hair day. Up until last November when I decided that I wanted a change after my national exam so I got a haircut. It's been a year since I cut my hair. A survey done concluded that 23% of women don't want to leave their house on a bad hair day. I wouldn't say that I'm part of the 23%, mainly because if I was having a bad hair day I would just tie up my hair and pin up my fringe. Or if I really don't care I wouldn't do anything. I just let my hair down, go about my day, and then when I come home I would wash my hair. We're given the message that appearance is really important. Now the researchers at Yale University found that bad hair days impact self-esteem, increase self-doubt, and have a higher likelihood for personal criticism. An interesting thing to note is that we perceive our capabilities to be significantly lower when experiencing a bad hair day. The ladies say that they experience feelings of shame and embarrassment while the men say that they have low confidence and increased nervousness. Oh but it's not just social anxiety effects. People say that they start to criticize their personalities as well. So what do you guys think? Does having a good outward appearance affect our mental health? I definitely feel more confident and tend to be in a better mood if my hair felt great. Somehow I really think it does. What do you guys think?
