I'm glad you love your wife's style and I'll bet she's an amazing, beautiful woman! One-of-a-kind, even - so the rest of us will be somewhat different

Yep, I've never liked having hair that's only wavy from halfway down... like a grown out perm. Funny that Kim K. rocks it purposely.

Your link of Sophia Vergara, take a look at slide 11 of 14. THAT is what I call curly hair and is very similar to the style worn by most young girls now days.

As for Kim, this is what I call curly (guess its wavy as well) but is the MOST POPULAR STYLE of hair you see which is VERY VERY VERY ATTRACTIVE - http://www-hollywoodlife-com.vimg.ne...148787_030.jpg
This is typical of what you see of women just walking through the mall or hanging in Starbucks. Also, what Mrs. Lao tends to wear all the time.
that is wavy hair. Not curly

" NONE of the women today have even the slightest thought of a "Marcia Brady" or anything like her. NO ONE has their hair even remotely styled like hers. Marica Brady, Laura Ingle, or whatever other old non styled frumpy non attractive long hair person you can think of. NO ONE looks like that, and no one wants to look like that."

Can't imagine why not. It was beautiful back then, and it is beautiful now. When I was a kid...

When I was young, the girls wore their hair in a variety of lengths and some looked better in short hair and some in long hair, some curly, some straight and lots of my girl Friends had a great time cutting their hair off just for a change. Now if a 18 year old girl cut her hair short they would call her a lesbian. Crazy!
I think short hair can actually look BETTER on some women. I think women with long faces are one example. Look at a lot of the models and celebrities from the 60s when short hair was in. Twiggy, Edie Sedgewick, Mia Farrow, Brenda Vaccaro...and more recently I thought Winona Ryder still looked really attractive with short hair. Ditto on alot of black women. Pam Greer looked great (and funky) sporting the Afro that God gave her. I actually don't think long hair would have made any of these women look any more beautiful than they are. Short hair is just associated with being butch or masculine. Btw I wonder if this is a reason why many older ladies wear their hair the way they do. Women in their 60s have styles popular in the 60s, while women in their 80s have styles popular in the 50s. After a certain age most people's fashion short of freezes.

It's simply fashion, of course...I think totally straight hair isn't as prevalent as it was in the late 90s and early 00s which I think is a good thing, as I like wavy styles on a lady.

Either way, I don't really give a damn how a woman wears her hair. Long, short, bald, mullet, mohawk . If she's got a pretty face and a great personality, I'm not going to turn her down because of her hair.

I like women's hairstyles from the 1940s. 1950s were decent too but a lot of women had short but stiff hairstyles.

An example: http://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:A...5THCj_7W6F_s5-

Oh. I like me some wavy hair then.

That kinda of hair works wonders for women. Like Nicole Scherzinger's hair. WOW. Even though she has stylists who change it all the time, the "normal" wavy/curly look of her Pussycat Doll days is just to die for.

That first style is the middy cut. Nearly every starlet of the 30's/40's had that cut as it may be styled many ways. I've got a modified middy right now. I got inspired when Elizabeth Taylor died and there was so much coverage of her. A lot of the women had to sleep on curlers every night to get that look, I call mine modified because it's less neat and precise as I go with my natural wave/curl.

I used to have hair down to my waist. When I told my old hair stylist to cut it off she straight up argued with me. We eventually agreed to a shoulder length bob. I switched stylists and found someone willing to do away with it, and now I have very short hair- it's basically a boy's style.

I told the new stylist that when I said "I won't do anything with it" that I MEANT it...don't tell me, "oh, you just blow dry it and put in some product and run your fingers through it, it only takes a minute..." It won't get done, so I needed a style that required no work from me. She's the only stylist I've gone to who really listened and gave me what I wanted instead of what I was supposed to want. Even though she massively overcharges, I'll follow her for life.

I'll never have long hair again....just getting out of the shower and feelings all those strands clinging to me *shudders*
