Hairstyles and Attitudes

[cjsmith]

Topic stolen from mactavish

I am looking for a low-maintenance hairstyle. My hair is fine, limp, and only slightly wavy when long; it is springy-curly when short. I would like a short hairstyle for swimming, riding in convertibles (Rob's thinking of buying a convertible), gardening, and rolling over in my sleep. I would like a long hairstyle so I don't have to go get it cut every so often and so I don't have to worry which way the hair is pointing while it dries. I definitely require a hairstyle with NO blow-drying, NO curling, NO gel. If I can't do it with a comb it's not going to get done.

Can't have all of these, but I can have all but one. Front runner is a buzzcut.

My buttlength ponytail is the lowest-maintenance hairstyle I have ever had. No wasted time at some weird-smelling hair salon. No worrying about which way it will flop when it dries. However, I am really getting tired of waiting all day for it to dry, avoiding swimming, tying it up for hot tubs, having it get in my face during anything even remotely fun, etc etc. And it's not like it flatters me. Then again, neither would a buzzcut...!

"Hairstyles and Attitudes"

Hairstyles and attitudes,
Are they connected?
Are styles we embrace a matter of taste,
Or values rejected?

Hairstyles and attitudes,
How do they relate?
How well do we use the freedom to choose
The illusions we create?

Razorcut, lazercut, chopped and channelled,
Curled-up, slicked back, hanging in the eyes,
Parted left, parted right, straight down the middle,
Scientists say your hair never lies, they've done lots of research,
It may be just hype, but the latest findings cause me to tremble,
They've categorized us into three basic types,
By which of the Three Stooges we most closely resemble.

I hadn't heard it in years, but the whole song and melody came back the moment I read the first line.
