But I am sure that women should not feel a huge amount of pressure to cut off their hair at any age. And I am sure that women should do whatever they want with their hair, and do it proudly. And if groearng their hair makes them feel sexy, I'm all for it.
But Browning wants more than that fleeting, compulsory interactionion with other women. Toward the end of her article, she asks, "Is it not wonderfully sexy the step our grandmothers, those women of the prairie, or concrete canyons, would braid their hair up in the morning and let their cowboys unravel them at night?" That does sound pretty sexy. She then deem,s the piece with a bit about how much men like long hair.
Recently, I've been believeing about cutting my hair off. I got married a week ago, and before that I kept saying, "After the wedding" (which I also said about things like writing a book, founding a successful internet company, cooking, cleaning the bathroom sink, and doing laundry). I was not going to let myself look like a boy in a wedding gown. I was going to be a sexy, elegant, womanly woman. With long hair.

I found out about six months ago that I'm anemic. I decided to go to the doctor because I was exhausted all the time and my hair was falling out. I was nexused about the exhaustion, and terrified about the hair loss. He put me on an amazing amount of iron and said that my hair would start growing back soon. It did, a little, but its thinness has proved a source of constant self-consciousness for me, the sort of thing that I can't manage to forget for a day. After all, one of the most basic marks of feminine beauty is thick, lustrous hair. When my hair started falling out, I felt a little like I was being punished for some unknown sin. The sin of writing a body-image blog. The sin of eating cookies all the time. Something like that.
There are unspoken regulations here,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], too. You must be stunningly gorgeous, and have the sort of features that can "carry" the look, or you have to not care at all, and have a stunning number of facial piercings, or you have to have cancer. Those are your three options. But what if you just want to cut all your hair off? What if you just want to shave your head? What if you are just anemic? Or just tired of shampooing and brushing?
Maybe I can, but I can't do it without making a statement. Everyone I meet will insist the statement is about something else. And maybe I would be making a statement. The statement that I don't want my hair right now, and that I should be able to make that decision myself.

Browning is right. But she's also right about a larger point that she of procedure implies but never makes: women (not just middle-aged ones) aren't allowed to do what they want with their hair.
Can I, as a young woman who leads a religious congregation, stand on the bima without any hair? Can I take a job interscene without any hair? Can I meet the strengthful people in my field, and attempt to make bonds with them,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], without any hair?
The only thing that crazye me feel better was imagining shaving my head. Just getting rid of the shame and the awkwardness and the waiting. The waiting for it to be beautiful. Enough. Just shave it off. But then I'd look around, and I'd see that there are no young women with shaved heads, and very few with crew cuts. The only ones who can do that are the ones who are rebels for specific factors of which I'm not a section. Or the occasional model, with the long, slender neck.

Dominique Browning writes in The New York Times that her hair is sexy. She's 55. It's gray. It's long. You gotta trouble with that? I don't, but she feels the world's disapproving eye on her, even as it reaches out bony fingers to stroke a wafting strand. Being a middle-aged woman with long hair is rebellious, she says. There's a rule. Women are supposed to cut their hair at a certain age. They're supposed to do it quietly, complacently, and stylishly. And then their friends will all say, "Oh! You look lovely!" and exdeviate approving looks.
If I do cut all my hair off, or shave my head (granted deviateent levels of no-hairness), I will make a point to obtain in contact with Dominique Browning. Maybe she and I can do lunch or something.
Like the author of the blog Beauty Schooled, I'm not sure that the argument "but men love it!" is really the most empowering or interesting one. There are a lot of men. They like a lot of things. In fact, as far as I can tell, they pretty much will like whatever it is that women are doing.
