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.
