She's right about one thing, and one thing only - the teased bangs have got to go. The woman should grow out her bangs, and grow her hair to classic length.

Quote:


No, she should cut it short, bleach and perm it so it can be short and "dry, unhealthy, and...a variety of colors."

What a control freak b*. This woman needs to get a life of her own, instead of trying to run the life of a complete stranger.

Why are people always trying to make over other
people?  Has anyone ever seen those  riduclous
make-over talk shows where a person (man or woman)
is rather reluctantly being dragged in by a friend or
relative to get their super-long locks cut off and updated?  And then donated to Locks of Love?
Then the host always says "Oh you look so much
younger,better,ect. with your new style.

If her sister likes her hair that should be all that matters. The locks of love advertisment jumped out at me too.

It really makes me mad when people always try to tell someone else how they should dress,or wear their hair. You should wear your hair however you like it. Those fashion people are always trying to make people cut off their hair to follow the trend, well forget the trend how about being diffrent? why would you want to look like everybody else, I say be diffrent, stand out in the croud. be beautiful and unique.  I remember when I had midback hair and my aunt suggested to my mother that my hair was too long and she should cut it short. It made me so mad. My great aunt she keeps her hair about 2 inches long and wears a rat tail and she had the nerve to say something about my hair. I am so mad.

A "cop out to styling??" Long hair requires much more TLC and presents many more styling opportunities than short hair.

But why am I telling you this? You already know. Never mind everyone, we'll cling to each other and our unfashionable, dry, multi-colored tangles while we flee from the "calendar of life" (who knows what THAT'S supposed to be).

Cheers to all Rapunzels the world over!

The following is going to sound extremely "EE-vill"

I say we just let the rest of the world bask in their short hair obsession while the longhair minority can stand out, feeling beautiful and different.

Although I do encourage my friends to have healthy hair care habits (e.g. nixing the irons and blow-fryers, combing and brushing properly, etc), I don't feel any need to encourage others to grow their hair to an extreme length. (I'm happy to have the longest hair of my social circle and secretly don't want anyone else to get the same idea. Well, folks, there's my confession...) I do make it a point to pound healthy hair care habits into my friends' chemically-processed skulls, since short hair also benefits greatly from gentle treatment.

Peace, Love, Empathy.

I agree with one part of this article:

"People need to present themselves in a way that makes them feel self-confident, fantastic, and great about themselves, not solely because they think the opposite sex loves it. Your sister needs to love how she looks, or put her best effort out to try to make the most of what she’s got! "

Exactly!  And if that means keeping her hair long, then let her keep her hair long!!  I had short hair a while back, and have spent the last two or three years growing it longer.  I feel so much more confident with longer hair, because I know that it suits me better than short hair, and I love my hair like this.
