It is absolutely necessary and a complete must. Our society is not inhibited by internal knowledge alone. Your personality is all about your attitude and how you carry it off. The self confidence and feel-good factor obviously comes about when you do feel good and are happy with what you see in the mirror!

n One should follow the golden rule ‘Never say never!’ No matter what people say, you never know what a good haircut does to you until you try it. Be blunt about your style without any inhibitions.
