You might be a little taken aback by the mention of the word hair history. You must be wondering how can your hair have a history? You hair is not a monument or a place; it is a part of your body. But nothing in this world comes without a history or past. The genes that your hair has inherited and experiences that it has been through together constitute your hair history.

Put it simply, the history would inmclude of details like what type of hair you have, what is its texture, what colour is your hair and what are the hair colours you have tried etc. So, basically your hair history is a record of what your hair originally was. For example, the type of hair you originally have was wavy but you have straightened it. The care for straightened hair is different from naturally wavy hair.

Knowing the history of your hair helps you take better care of it. For example, if you know that your father was bald and so was your grandfather, you will know that there is a tendency for baldness in your family. This will help you take care of your hair in advance so that you can avoid premature balding.
