Hair Fads that are Hysterical Years Later
YIKES !
Actually the majority of Style Trends are silly ... silly but fun. We usually end up laughing at them ten years later. We certainly will laugh at current trends a few years down the road.
So why don't they seem silly at the time?
PEER PRESSURE
Something we gradually get conditioned to by the mean kids in Jr. High. In addition. American marketing is the best in the world.
While a hairstyle is current, we admire it and compliment those that have it. The pressure on us subliminally that it is difficult to see the silliness in the style at the time.
How wonderful is it that finally women have evolved to the point where they do not have to be locked into a fashion fad ... they can simply look as attractive as they can afford to be.

When asked: "What do you think the most beautiful thing about a woman?"
Aidan Quinn replied: “Confidence.”
One day I saw my young neighbor ( cute but hasn't had a date in forever) saw her with wet hair - Traffic Stopping! very beautiful without the flat side bangs.
A confident woman will wear a style which makes her look her best and ignore trendy silly fads. That is one of the differences between and girl and a woman.

"Young white girls don't appreciate what they have ..."
When I was a teen in the late 70's, a girl I worked with curled her thick long shiny straight hair one day. I couldn't help but give her a compliment. As I was engaged to a very very lovely girl, I had no idea she had a crush on me. After work that day she rushed to the salon and said "I want curls ! " Integration was moving along at a fast pace then, so one of the hair trends was an full Afro ... you guessed it ... the stylist lopped off 95% of her amazing healthy hair and poured on the perm solution. Scissored all her hair but 2 and 1/2 inches all over but she was left with tight 1 inch high frizzy curls - very unflattering on anyone but the few that had a baby doll. Poor girl was depressed over that for years.
One of the reasons I went into the long hair business.
Which reminds me of all the times I have heard black women point out that they dream of having lovely Caucasian hair and can not understand when girls with lovely hair screw it up with chemicals and blofryers while it is in it's prime.

Mrs. Cleaver Hair 1960 & back again in 2009
Leave-it-to-Beaver's mom, June Cleaver would never be caught without her pearls or perfect hair ... even when vacuuming or washing dishes. Perfect hair meant short-bits-and-pieces-glued- into a ball or beehive. These women drove their church-going men to the basements of Lodge halls to see foreign films of naturally attractive women. These untouchable freaky hairstyles inadvertently boosted Hugh Hefner's new magazine of sensually feminine women and repulsive their children so much that the teens never did anything to their hair (hippies. "O.K., but be careful not to touch my hair ... I just had it done."
To understand how women got like this, you have to realize that after WWII, the American economy was the best it will ever be !!! There were more jobs than people. Only the husband worked yet everyone had lots of money. They bought NEW ... new houses, new plastic dining room tables, new plastic refrigerator parts, new plastic bowls and new plastic hair spray. Suddenly, instead of that old farmhouse, one had a perfect new tract house. No more scratched dining room tables, the green swirl formica was always perfect. The new magazine Good Housekeeping, warned "Now that you live close to your neighbors, you never know when they might pop in". So now, unlike on the farm, the house had to always look perfect. Housewives had machines now to do the laundry and vacuuming and mixers for the cooking. This left spare time to be Perfect and to always look Perfect.
Today there is another era of Miss Perfect hair creeping in. Hair is not allowed to have a slight wave or be touchable as the pores are clogged with gels and then cooked at 400 degrees with a blowfrier until it is molded PERFECTLY AND THE SIDE BANGS WON'T BUDGE. Perfect. Mrs. Cleaver.

- Since Hairstyles are driven by Product sales, you never know how often "Helme-Head" or "Plastic Bangs" styles will appear.

Side Swept Bangs
Unlike side parted bangs of other generations, the side stuck bangs of 2009 are plastered flat with pore clogging product blofried and will not move in a gale wind.
If you are constantly pestered by guys flirting and pampering you, a good way to repel them is to glue on this hair eyepatch, Heaven help them if they get their fingers stuck in them.

In 2005 girls all had the tapered long hair and blouses and jeans that showed a tease of the tummy and bottom. As the tapered hair grew splits like crazy and was easily damaged, this forced girls to two choices: pretend like they wanted the 80s 'Bedroom Look' hair or storm the stores to buy irons and repair products. Since then females have gotten into a regime rather then have to chop their hair short. Hot rollers completely disappeared from stores and the price of hair products tripled. As the taped cuts finally grew out, this hair control regime was able to produce Perfect hair. Hair that would hold its style for days and bangs that would not move in a hurricane. Mrs. Cleaver styles again.
