Hair-razing!

Cindy!  What is this hair-razing blasphemy against the most glorious substance produced by the human body?  Wash out your follicles with soap and water!  ;o)  And what's these other women *agreeing* with her sentiments?  Is mine to be the only voice raised in protest?  Tsk tsk tsk.

(rummages about for "Hair Here" banner and flourishes it defiantly)

Hair is wonderful!  It should be allowed to grow and flourish, in all its many textures and colours!  I was beside myself with horror when my own hair started falling out in handfuls when I was in China (it did rally once I got home, but it's never been as thick since).  

While I grudgingly concede that men have the right to treat the output of their follicles however they choose, I, for one, am anguished every time a fashion for head stubble comes in for men, and am no fan of the current trend towards chest waxing.  Why should only women-fanciers be privy to the joys of long hair?  I don't necessarily mean waist length (though I did have a short relationship with a man with waist length caramel hair, which was just gorgeous once I persuaded him to condition it), just long enough to be tactile and lovely.  I've heard the "balding with dignity" line many a time, but I still greatly prefer half a head of well-cared for hair than a head like a kiwifruit.

I'm rarely a fan of very short hair on women either.  Sure, it can look good with the right style on the right woman, but, hardline hair fan that I am, I think most women look better with at least a bit of floppy fringe (bangs) or face framing.  For example, I think Halle Berry looks *much* better now she's grown out that cropped look.  (Ringlets!  Wonderful things!  Why would anyone who could grow them hack them off?  Sigh)

Surely there are some other hardline hair fans out there?  All you Draco fans, would he really appeal so much without his silvery locks?  How about a shaven Sirius, or a hairless Hermione?

Tabouli.
