Selfworth

So, I was with my husband and a friend yesterday, and both needed haircuts. No worries, I didn't mind being along for the ride. But what aggravated me was what my friend kept saying.

"Don't go to short or crazy because my boyfriend won't like it!" Does it matter? It's your hair. Shave it, cut it, color it, do what you want to it, I told her....she said she knows she could do whatever she wanted to because it's her hair, but she was worried her boyfriend wouldn't like it, plus she had to keep it professional.

When did hair become a women's symbol of worthiness to the world? I can remember watching a program on the History Channel, that talked about women back in the 20's going to a man's barber shop to get their "crowning glor(ies)" cut off. How did this come to be? It's hair, that's all.

Just a thought...
