Hair is much deeper than it appears on the surface – it is a reflection of our identity.
It is often viewed as a symbol of femininity. During the Civil War, when women were not allowed to engage in battle, hundreds of women cut off their tresses to disguise themselves as men, and signed up to fight. In the 1970s, Angela Davis’ Afro hairstyle became a symbol for black beauty and pride.
Hair really is our “crowning glory,” a term that dates back to biblical times, and we should treat it as such. Here are a few products from Ulta that will leave your scalp and your mane begging for more:
