We interviewed the renowned hair professional, Benê Reiswhich serves the Jack Salon, located at Largo do Arouche, 61, downtown São Paulowho presented us with some reasons why taking care of your physical appearance is important for mental health.

“Firstly, says Benê Reis, I want to thank you for the space given to me to be able to talk better about the importance of hair care, bringing to light some items that often go unnoticed.

*High self-esteem*: When we feel good about our appearance, our self-esteem tends to be higher. This helps us develop a positive image of ourselves and face life’s challenges with more confidence.

*Feeling of well-being*: Taking care of our physical appearance often involves activities that make us feel good, such as taking a relaxing bath, exercising or wearing clothes that make us feel comfortable and confident. These activities can improve our mood and provide a feeling of well-being.

*Self-expression*: The way we present ourselves to the world often reflects our identity and personality. Taking care of our physical appearance gives us the opportunity to express ourselves and show who we are through fashion, hair style, makeup and other aspects of our appearance.

*Stress reduction*: Having a regular self-care routine can help reduce stress and anxiety. Moments dedicated to taking care of yourself can provide temporary relief from everyday worries and promote mental tranquility.

*Self-acceptance*: Taking care of your physical appearance does not necessarily mean striving for perfection. It’s about accepting and valuing yourself, regardless of perceived imperfections. Learning to care for yourself and treat yourself with kindness can be a powerful act of self-acceptance.

Finally, taking care of your physical appearance is an important way to connect with yourself, promote well-being and cultivate a positive attitude towards your body and mind”, he concludes.
