[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I actually think for middle aged moms, the real rebellion is to wear a bob/lob haircut, but really own it and not let it dictate that you be frumpy or asexual.

I also think shorter hair demands that it be well kept -- regular trims, worn down daily. So many women with long hair just wear it in a pony tail or bun many days, and it often looks frizzy and unkempt. Even when it's worn down and styled, you can often see the split ends and broken hair shafts. It absolutely feels like giving in to a trend even though it doesn't suit you at all.[/quote]

Weird take from someone who definitely has a frumpy-looking bob[/quote]

The idea that shorter hair is generally healthier than long hair is not a "weird take." Ask any hair stylist what percent of their long haired clients have major breakage issues. It's like 90%.

And actually your negativity towards a "frumpy-looking bob" proves the PP right -- that *is* the more rebellious choice because so many people assume a bob is frumpy. So when I woman can wear one and it looks fresh and sharp instead, it's a risk paying off. Long hair isn't risky at all so it is bizarre to claim it's a rebellious. It's what most women are pressured to do.[/quote]
