Old story: I had long hair, cut it short, and now want long hair again. I was considering extensions and Dawn said I should not wear them because (I don't recall her exact words) I should accept that I cut my hair and just wait until it grew out. I almost read into it a sort of "punishment" period for what I did.What about people who perm or color their hair? Should they just accept what they have naturally? We have fake boobs, fake capped teeth, fake noses via plastic surgery, fake nails, and the list goes on. Is hair any different?Is it really such a threat that someone might do something, such as perm, color, or wear extensions, that we did naturally? Sure is! When I was in high school, I had light strawberry blonde hair. Nearly all of my friends colored their hair. I always took pride in my "natural" color.But as I've grown, I've decided it really isn't that big of a deal if someone wants a cosmetic procedure that will make her feel better. I'm certainly not condoning excessiveness! But if extensions or a perm or highlights will make a person more confident and happy, then what's the problem?
