Abstract

When we perceive beauty as a whole, we must consider that several structures are added to its concept. The attractiveness is a result of various features of the face, neck, hair, and body that make an individual be considered beautiful or handsome. In this chapter, we discuss the concept of attractiveness of the face, neck, and hair. Each of these characteristics has a role in the aging process.
