Hairstyles - Does It Really Matter?

Hair - a covering for the body (or parts of it) - here i mean the head, consisting of a dense growth of threadlike structures; helps to prevent heat loss.

By telling your hairstylist "I need a new haircut today", you might get..

"Which hairdo will you want today?"

Male

"Will it be a Mohawk?"



"Moptop?"



"Or a clean shave?"



***

Female

"An Urchin-style?"



"Or a long wavy cut?"

Hairstyles.

They come in all kinds, all colors, all styles.

They grow on every head (Well, uhh almost every head then, not counting those who're bald).

So what's the big deal?

"Ooh its a blonde! I bet she's a total dumbass!" *

"Who on earth would want to have a head of rainbow-coloured hair? He's such a sick punk, *shakes head*"

Discrimination.

Most people judge others by their outlook, their appearance.
As people say - "The first impression is always the most important aspect".

I agree.

But does that mean that we're confined to stick to our natural hair colour or our natural hair-style?

God, if that's the case, we'd see people wearing wigs on the streets next.

Sadly, i was one of the hair-style-discrimination victims too.

"Eh, rambut k'napa gitu panjang pulak? Anak saudara Pn Ho pun bgini?!"

What does being the nephew of Pn Ho have anything to do with this?

So i should sit in my seat like a geek, hair combed to one side NEATLY, wearing thick-framed specs?

Image in mind:


Absolutely no way.

Why couldn't i have my spiky hairstyle? Why? WHY?
Is it because that spiky hair are supposed to be normal only for punks? For gangsters?

Geez, check my disciplinary record. I'm clean from any disciplinary problems.

And they care about my hairstyle?

Okay, forget the school problem.

But its almost the same outside.

Remember the female monk last time?

"You are very rebellious, and you don't listen to elders' advices."

"You're too influenced by Western culture."

My hair.
Duh.

Get this straight - I could sport a disheveled hair, i could have my spiky hairstyle like now, or i could even shave my hair bald just like Daughtry.

But one thing doesn't change - I'm still Ryo, my personalities are the same yet.

To me? Hairstyles are just but part of our "outer shell", just a covering, just an appearance.

Who cares if someone disapproves of your hairstyle anyway?

Just as long you feel confident in that hairstyle, you're fine to go.

Isn't it true?

Ahhh, i should go for a rebonding treatment next, XD.

* In defence of blondes, (which i have no offence towards):

A blonde and a lawyer are seated next to each other on a flight from LA to NY. The lawyer asks if she would like to play a fun game? The blonde, tired, just wants to take a nap, politely declines and rolls over to the window to catch a few winks. The lawyer persists and explains that the game is easy and a lot of fun. He explains, "I ask you a question, and if you don't know the answer, you pay me $5.00, and vice versa. " Again, she declines and tries to get some sleep. The lawyer, now agitated, says, "Okay, if you don't know the answer you pay me $5.00, and if I don't know the answer, I will pay you $500.00." This catches the blonde's attention and, figuring there will be no end to this torment unless she plays, agrees to the game. The lawyer asks the first question. "What's the distance from the earth to the moon?" The blonde doesn't say a word, reaches into her purse, pulls out a $5.00 bill and hands it to the lawyer. "Okay" says the lawyer, "your turn." She asks the lawyer, "What goes up a hill with three legs and comes down with four legs?" The lawyer, puzzled, takes out his laptop computer and searches all his references, no answer. He taps into the air phone with his modem and searches the net and the library of congress, no answer.

Frustrated, he sends e-mails to all his friends and coworkers, to no avail. After an hour, he wakes the blonde, and hands her $500.00. The blonde says, "Thank you," and turns back to get some more sleep. The lawyer, who is more than a little miffed, wakes the blonde and asks, "Well, what's the answer?" Without a word, the blonde reaches into her purse, hands the lawyer $5.00, and goes back to sleep.

That's all, seeyah all then.

*I won't be home from 6 - 8 December. I'm going to KL again for my sister's house-warming and to attend a wedding dinner - of course with my hair dye-gelled metallic purple again.
