October 1st is National Hair Day! This day celebrates the beauty, diversity and importance of hair. It's a time to recognize how it can be an expression of our personal style, unique personality and even cultural heritage - we love to celebrate all kinds of hair! The history of this special day goes back centuries when people would honor their locks with various hairstyles. Today, National Hair Day encourages us to appreciate our own mane as well as others’ tresses.
