Older women getting short haircuts

[Laura Lee]

I think a lot has to do with what ever style is in fashion (for those who are younger) and also convenience.  You guys whine about wanting your girl to have the long hair and whatnot, but don't realize the time it takes to wash/dry/style it.  You jump out of the shower and gel or quickly blow dry your hair (5 minutes) and poof you're good to go.  Blow drying and styling (for me this includes straightening as my hair is curly) takes about 45 minutes.  It can be a royal pain in the ass.     Mike will always say "I like it when you wear your hair down and straight" (cuz I wear it pulled into a ponytail a lot or just leave it curly-so damn humid sometimes down here that even if I press it straight...it starts curling the second I'm outside, lol) but he just doesn't realize how much time goes into it but I do my best to make him happy.

Ooooh hun I can sooooo relate!

Reminds me of the time an old friend wanted to go for lunch to this great restaurant out in Orangeville.
He was all excited too, ...cause the weather had turned and he got to take his convertible Alfa Romeo out of storage.

After spending close to an hour with the blow dryer and the hot rollers etc, you can just imagine how thrilled I was to have the top down and the wind whipping through my hair at 90 kms/ hr. for 2 hours.

I thought you were black?

She is, but why would that make a difference?

Totally different styling challenges, that's why.

I'm confused.  She stated she spent close to an hour blow drying and using hot rollers.  You stated that you thought she was black.  Did you think only white women use blow dryers and hot rollers?

Well, I guess I thought a black women faces different challenges because of the hair texture and form.

Not entirely.  Some love their hair natural and can wash and go in 5 minutes, others have their hair straightened and put a lot of time in styling (such as Judi) such as blowing it out and putting in hot rollers like a lot of white women.

A Black woman's hair can come in all different styles & textures.

In my case, the curl is relaxed, and I wear my hair long.

My former workout partner is black.  She sometimes would call that she'd be late because she was fixing her daughter's hair.  I was like, "just put it in a pony tail or something!"  And she said, "girl, you just don't understand the drama black hair can cause."  One day she explained it to me - I don't really remember the details - but I never rushed her again.

There is a black female reporter on Fox News that does celebrity reporting as a guest and I think her hair is gorgeous...she is gorgeous... I don't know her name but I wonder if her hair takes a lot of time to do or if it's easy...it's kind of like a loose fro.  I can't find a pic of her online w/o her name.  I'll try to listen next time I see her.
