Should I get my hair cut?

Hi Karen!I'm so glad that you put this post up. I have thick loose curls (think Julia Roberts) and last July I cut my long hair into that cute "Darhma" cut. First let me say, that I am the ultimate hair freak and I usually don't mind spending a good amount of time on my hair--it's my obsession. However, after I cut my hair, my opinion changed (a bit anyway). Let me just say that "yes" these new short cuts are adorable and look very easy to take care of-- however they are not! It took me on average 45 to 50 minutes every morning to get my cut into gear. These cute do's don't just fall into place, it takes a lot of work with the curling iron or blowdryer and lots of styling pomade to get that "piecy" look that is so important. Also, on those rainy days--you just can't pull your hair back-- you STILL have to do it! It seemed like I was always fixing my hair. And the more natural volume you have in your hair, the more difficult it is to control. I have been growing my hair since I cut it, and it's now past my chin (I have NEVER had such aweful growing pains--wavy/curly hair grows poofy with a pyramid effect)-- Please Karen, give it a lot of thought before you cut,... the growout is really very tedious!Sherry

Shorthaired females were unknown until the 1920's in the USA and it is the worst idea ever foisted on the female population. Short hair makes a very negative statement about your intelligence, character and personality. Not only do your lose styling versatility, but you run the risk that the man or men in your life, if they are anything like me, will abandon you. I DO judge woman by her hair. Long hair means you are comfortable with your femininity and your identity, that you respect yourself, that you have pride in your appearance, that you are comfortable being whom God made you to be. Short hair is anxiety, stress, the sign of a hard-edged woman, not the kind the world needs. Incidently, I am a lawyer---and I can tell you that an employer CAN legally set different hair length standards for men and women, per a recent decision affirmed by the US Supreme Court. In other words, your employer can legally refuse to hire or allow your employment to continue, should you desire to enter the world of shorthaired females. I would strongly advise you NOT to get your hair cut, now or ever.Sincerely,DAVID JUSTIN LYNCH, EsquireRelated Link:World's Best French Twist

Hair is external, but a manifestation of what is inside. Hair expresses what is in a woman's soul. I am 47; my wife is 50, long blond hair, and I am passionately in love with her. Her hair told me she was a warm, caring person, which she is. Check her out on the web--she does the world's best French Twist. Click on www.beeperchick.com. Maybe the women of the next century will be better than those of this one. As you can tell, I feel strongly about this issue (as I have all my life).DAVID, EsquireRelated Link:World's Best French Twist
