Why so many women have long hair?
For a long time, hair has been part of a woman’s personality. In many cultures, it is expected that women have long hair. Many religions do not allow women to cut their hair really short. There are also husbands that tell their wives what they can do or not do with their hair.
Women spend many hours a week taking care of their hair because they know that hair is important. Sometimes they go to the beauty salon and pay fifty dollars or more to have their hair done. It all depends on what they want. Also the beauty salon they go to and their personal hairdresser can be factors that can decide if the price they pay is higher.
Many women get a haircut every month. Other women dye their hair or get a perm every three weeks. There are times, they have to wait an hour for their turn. Then, they have several people doing their hair for at least two hours. I know women that wake up early every Saturday, just to be the first one to have their hair done at the salon.
One will think that with all the changes that are taking place right now in our world, women will get tired of this hair ritual and devotion. Reality tells all the opposite. Constantly, we see more long hair models in shampoo commercials. We also see these long hair models in commercials in the Internet. Don’t get me wrong. There are also models with short hair, but not as many. In addition, there are more actresses in Hollywood with long hair than ever before. Even the beautiful Halle Berry now has long hair.
Personally, I like long hair. Sometimes, because of all the things I have to do in order to take care of it, I feel like cutting my hair really short. I have never done it. During a hot summer day, I have spent hours under a hair dryer. Every week I spent an hour drying my hair with the blow dryer. The truth is that even after going through all this torture, I am not going to cut it. I know I’m part of a society and culture that thinks long hair makes a woman look gorgeous.

personally the long hair I like and it use, thus because I like, but the truth that I go once or twice to the year to the hairdressing salon, use I it I release because I like, pleases to me to have it long, I dye I in house, because I do not like to see me white, but I do in fact it by my, does not interest neither the fashion, nor the models, nor the culture nor what my husband thinks, I to me I believe that one must do what it likes, and not what the others think or what this in fashion. But it is certain, there is many people, who spend time and money, to put itself is contiguous for somebody, for another one, they do not do because it for them, and there, I believe that not this good, because if gastates time and money, because it is your desire, it beams by you and for you, has sense, and not you dolera what you have spent, but it beams by somebody or for somebody, you will see always it like a suffering. I like the reflections, and these are one. greetings Bettys
