For humans, a , '''hairstyle''' or '''hairdo''' normally describes cutting or styling Head Hair , rather than other Body Hair such as Facial , Underarm Hair , or Pubic . Unlike other Animal s, Human Beings of many Culture s cut their Hair , rather than letting it grow naturally. Hair styles are often used to signal Cultural , Social , and Ethnic identity. Hair styles in both men and women also vary with current Fashion trends, and are often used to determine Social Status .
There is a thriving world market in cut human hair of sufficient length for Wig manufacture. In less developed countries, selling one's hair can be a significant source of income — depending on length, thickness, and colour, wig makers have been known to pay as much as US$40 for a head of hair. In the United States, cut hair of at least 10 inches (25 cm) length may be donated to a charity such as Locks Of Love .
