What I seriously dislike is the hairs that started growing on and in my ears in my later years.

LOL.

…and eyebrows that even the haircutter wants to trim. And rampant nose hair.

Vanity is …hard …and rarely achieved …for old men.

Face facts. A babe like Jennifer can wear anything and have any kind of hair style. No hair style or clothing will make ugly girls attractive.

Back in the 1970s my straight-haired sister got a frizzy/curly hair treatment. It was called an “Anglo.” [It might also have been called a “Little Orphan Annie,” as my sister had a reddish tinge to her hair.]

The “Anglo” was changed for something more Anglo within several months.

What I seriously dislike is the hairs that started growing on and in my ears in my later years. The ones on the outside are easy to trim, the ones inside are a pain to remove and remove them I must or else my ears itch. Ugh.

However, women and their hair is an endless battle. My wife has curly red hair that is heavily streaked with grey. She has given up on coloring her hair to hide the grey, but every other month she goes to a ‘stylist’ for a ‘cut’ and is rarely happy with the results. It does no good to tell her she looks beautiful. I hope her ‘hair wars’ end within the next 10 yrs.

Hair is one of many reasons I am so glad to be XY, not XX. My haircut has basically been the same for 50 years- short. Why change it? I hate my straight hair venturing out over my ears or my forehead. It’s there to keep the sun off my scalp; it is still all there, sans grey. It does its job. I use the cheapest shampoo I can find and it never complains. I almost pity all you femmes, but hey, you want hair, you got it. I have had multiple encounters with women who were more upset about transient chemo baldness than about having breast cancer.

The worst thing about fancy hairstyles is that the ravishing smell of female hair goes missing, replaced by something more like burning rubber. Taking away one of the best things in a man’s life for a bit of ‘style’ is a horrible mistake.

I’m one of those fine straight hair types that CV mentions, but my hair is super thick. I went through the teasing and rollers stuff in high school, but the weight of my hair always ruined everything. Then Kenneth came along (he was right before Vidal Sasoon) and allowed women to have straight, unteased hair. I decided to let a friend in college cut my hair that way, but she was so slow that I ended up cutting it myself.

I’ve stuck with this style for over 40 years with some changes in length. I have let hairdressers experiment a few times, but always after a few hours the weight wins out. I can’t even use barretts or bobby pins because they slide right off the fine hairs. The person who invented the bow dryer deserves a monument.

BTW, this stuff is hell on hot humid days.

Yeah, there are a lot of repeats, but they managed to miss Rene Russo’s haircut from ‘The Thomas Crown Affair’ and Helen Mirren’s haircut in Prime Suspect 2. Both of those styles are/were very common, and I’ve had stylist’s tell me Rene’s cut is one of the most common requests.

Neo,

I guess this is one of those “grass is always greener” situations 🙂

I can deal with unfair — it’s the counter intuitive and illogical I have a problem with.
