HAIRSTYLES !

One of the interesting things I learned, in my pre-holiday reading, was about Fijian hairstyles!
In the early days, hairdressing in Fiji was an art form and a Fijian's head was considered sacred. While the traditional hair art is not practiced anymore, the head is still deemed sacred and it is an insult to touch any Fijian's head.. so we'll remember that!
Mostly we've seen afros as the most popular hair style here.
Female chiefs used wear huge stately hair-dos. A man's hair was a symbol of his masculinity, so their hairstyles were often extravagant and showy (see the photo).
Hairdressers were also employed to dress up men's hair to a sculptured form and for festive occasions heads were even more elaborately dressed up. Hair-dos were also dressed with shells, twigs and flowers; sounds like the Elizabethans to me!
The Fijians would sleep with their head raised up on a log, so that their hair wouldn't get messed up.
I wonder what happened if you had a 'bad hair day'?
