From my own experience, most people cannot visualize someone with a drastically different hair style.  Have fun showing hubby your "new look".

1. What's your favourite way of wearing your hair?
french braided

2. Your favourite hair toy (just one, if you can). Why it's your favourite?
i dont have a fav.

3. Do you have a hairstyle that you would love to wear but can't for some reason (too difficult to make, can't be made with your type of hair etc.)
id ont wear my hair down much because it tangles 2 easily

4. Who's your long hair idol? (= a person whose long hair you admire and who inspires you)
i like BB's hair. it looks long & healthy

5. Do you try to copy your idol's hairdos?
my hairs not long enough 2 do BB's hairstyle

6. Do you have any great hair care tip?
well i usually wash my hair before i go to bed because otherwise i have the tendency 2 brush it wet which is really unheathy and when you wake up your hair is dry and u can brush. also ont wash your hair 2 often. in a way you can train your hair . . . if you wash it once a week thats all it will need. if you wash it every other day it will tend 2 get greasy in tht short time period.

7. What in your opinion is definitely passée?
i dont like layers

8. What's the best hair length? (in general, not necessarily on you)
every person has their own style

9. What's trendy next summer? Let your imagination run wild!
incredibly long hair

People seem to assume that plain, long hair is for the lazy and careless who can't bother to care for their hair.  When people find out how seriously I take the condition of my hair because I want it to be long and healthy they can't understand why I don't get a "real" hairstyle and get something for my time and money.  Then they use that hypocritical and senseless argument about how a "real" style will cut down on my daily routine "or at least make it worth it".

"So you gave up on that layered style?"  No, I just didn't like them in the end.  "Well, longer hair really suits you but I can understand why as a homemaker you prefer your hair shorter and simpler".  No, I had long hair when I was a full time student and worked part time.  I just wanted to get my hair into the shape I want to grow it in which is one blunt length.  It irritates me when I've not even indicated that my hair is up for discussion.  

Now people think and probably hope that I'm going to adopt a simpler style all over.  But I actually think I'm striking a very attractive balance with all the busy colors, accessories and retro 50s styles I wear, with a simple sheet of black hair.....and usually flat black footwear.  I like things to coordinate.  

Individual styles are encouraged like never before as long as your style is thoroughly predictable to "type".  People who know me have described me as odd and off so there!

Well, I hope that everyone wears their hair the way they like and don't feel pressured into making their hair conform to other people's expectations of what someone who dresses a certain way should wear their hair.

I've always considered myself unconventional. I never wore designer brand clothes, went to parties, or got wasted. My career choice isn't typical, my exercise routine isn't either, I've never been "typical" I still don't have an ipod for pete's sake.  I figured why should my hair be any different.  I got it layered once in high school because I wanted it to look more like everyone else.  Thing was somebody still said my hair awful.  Since I've grown it out and got rid of the layers, which drove me up the wall!  I've actually gotten compliments on my hair, and now it's not "typical'. Go figure.
