Follicism can be referred to as classifying one's attributes according to one's
hair color (Blonde, Brunette, Auburn) and/or style (Curly, Straight, Frizzy).
Noun (Follicist): A person who associates the physical attributes of one's
hair color in relation to one's intelligence, capability, social status, personality.
Adjective (Follicism): Having the belief that the physical attributes of one's
hair color determine one's intelligence, capability, social status, personality.
Most claims of follicism can be found when applying for jobs demanding a certain physical appearance, such as within the fashion industry.
Phrases such as, "all redheads are wild in
bed," or, "blonds aren't the very brightest," are some of the most follicist things I hear on a
day-to-
day basis.
