Mind boggling. I'm 5'9" tall, and I just saw this tiny little woman cut that much length off of her hair... and she still had long hair just below her shoulders!!
I just watched the last few minutes of the Rachael Ray show this morning. I rarely watch T.V. any more, but I'm waiting for a phone call to go pick hubby up... so I didn't want to get invloved with anything that shouldn't get interrupted.
Normally, I really hate it when they have a makeover on which involves cutting very long hair very short, and will just flip the channel... but before I could, the elder dog had a bit of a problem (he couldn't get up) so I had to help him get up, and by that point, I'd already seen what was going on. :-/
The woman was about 4O, and she was 5"4' tall, with floor-sweeping-length hair. Her hair was very, very thick, and extremely curly, and it appeared to be very frizzy. I normally would have just flipped the channel... but I guess it was kinda like watching a train wreck - you can't stop watching, even though it is (or because it is) so horrible.
The woman came out after her makeover (which took the length of the show, which I'd missed). I was expected to shake my head and think, "Oh, you poor fool... WHY did you let them do that to you?"
But when they showed footage of her before and you looked at her after... her hair looked to be in bad condition. I don't know if they made it look like that, or if that's just how it really did look all the time. The woman - quite heavy-set - did, as she put it into her own words, "look a lot like Cousin It" [from the Addams Family]. They'd cut 5'9" of hair off of her, and she still had just-below-the-shoulder length hair that was very nicely layered in many layers to thin her hair to manageable. Her hair also looked to be in better condition... although it was stick-straight with a bit of curve towards her face - so they must have blow-dryed it, at the very least. They didn't say if they'd straightened it or not, just that she "could style it for herself easily at home now". The woman herself was thrilled with her new look.
Now, they hadn't cut it short; they'd left her still with what most people would call 'long hair'. I was glad to see that...
But I was wondering WHY she felt the need to wear it down and hanging frizzy all the time? She had plenty of length to put it up. With that amount of hair, wouldn't it be easy to put it up? Maybe I just do't get it, because I have extremely thin and very baby-fine, slippery hair that's only APL (21 to 21 1/2 inches). I have trouble putting my hair up becuase it's so soft and slips out of anything but the most pinching of clips. Her hair should have been was to put up... no?
