I get that she has other things to think about, I get that her appearance isn’t important to her, I get that she doesn’t want to spend much money on how she looks; other things are much more important (I am, of course, reading all this into what I imagine she thinks).All I can say in response is you don’t have to spend a lot of money to get a respectable haircut. It doesn’t have to be a great haircut, it doesn’t have to be a fancy haircut, and you don’t need to have colour, or highlights, or even lowlights. It just needs to be easy to look after (preferably without blow drying) and look respectable; an average haircut is fine.
Now some people might say at this point “she’s a scientist, why should her appearance matter, is it just because she’s a woman”? My reply to that is I don’t care if the particular scientist is male or female, I don’t care if you’re a kindergarten teacher, a CEO, unemployed, or anywhere in between, no one should have a bad haircut.
No one.As you can see from the photos, I have a personal reason for believing no one should have a bad haircut. This is me, aged 12 and 18. As you can see, I had bad haircuts (and glasses) from the age of 3 to 21. There was a good period there for a few years, and then it all went haywire again. In the last 7 years I have finally accepted that I cannot make long hair look acceptable. Short hair for me the whole way now.

Not that easy to find a good (cheap) hairdresser and as soon as you found one, next time you go for a hair cut, the person has moved on.
Hey Fashion, I know! It's soo depressing! But hopefully the new do-er will be around for a while. I've been pretty happy with her, and she understands what I want.
Thanks for visiting by the way ^_^
Hi Icy,
My wife likes her hair short as well. Since we have been married, she's had a lot of different lengths, but since finding a hairdresser she likes, is talented and not too expensive, she has been getting it cut short. It fits her face and is makes the mornings faster and easier.
You have been much too hard on your previous cuts. You looked good with them. Women are their own hardest critics.
Hey Anon, It's so nice to have gentlemen callers ... wait, that sounds bad.
Thanks for the sweet compliments, but you can't say I looked good in that second photo ^_^
All I can say now is I am perfectly happy with how my hair looks and how I look.
As I said, Icy, women are their own hardest critics. The cut was fine. Honest.
Hey Anon, you do realise that's me in the second photo don't you?
Hair is super important. Personally, I feel like when i have a good haircut / good hair day, it almost doesn;t matter what I wear, I will feel good and vice versa, no matter how thoughtful the outift, when my hair doesn't work, i feel a little ick all day!
Hey Kristen, thanks for dropping by. I feel much the same. That's why I have a super simple short but sharp style that always looks good.
It requires no skill to style in the morning. Just a little waxy stuff rubbed in. If I want a chunky look, I don't even have to comb it ^_^
Have you noticed that there are an increasing amt of ppl walking around with really messed up hair cuts? This is due to the passive aggressive epidemic that is spreading throughout hair salons. If you have not gotten a hair cut, you may consider cutting your own hair…it will save you the physical and emotional trauma from these passive aggressive hair stylist. You can **never** identify a passive aggressive hair stylist. Never. They will be extremely friendly to you the whole time…this is to mask their anger/insecurities. But once they are done with your hair, you will be left with a hideous shag on purpose. You may even have to deal with split ends w/in days or weeks of your brand new cut, since he/she may be cruel enough to cut your hair with a dull pair of scissors to ensure you have to live w/ the do for a long time. We need to join force and boycot salons by cutting our own hair. These people are making a *****GOOD**** living taking their anger out on your hair. For those of you sporting a hair cut from a passive aggressive hair stylist, you are not alone, A LOT of people are too. But don’t forget what happened to you and don’t let another money hungry stylist convince you it was a mistake…it’s wasn’t. Spread the word, help others who have not been victimized!
Hey Another Anon, well, I can confess I have cut my hair myself, and I have to say I was really bad at it. I ended up with something much worse than any passive/agressive hairdresser could do, even on their worst day.
I do agree you need to pick your hair dresser really carefully. Personal recommendations are good, but sometimes you just have to try them and hope for the best.
