What the hell is up with old women and their hair?
Which direction do you (girls) brush your hair? Top to bottom, right? I swear that as you get older you start brushing your hair from the bottom to the top. Think about it. So many young women have long, beautifully controlled, brushed out hair. By your mid 50s, most of that shiny hair has been chopped off and replaced by brittle hair damaged by countless amounts of chemicals from perms, straightening agents or dye. At this age, I often see the "fluff" start happening on a woman's head. You know...the extra body they try to give their hair to create the illusion of a full body of hair rather than a slightly thinning, or possibly balding one. Thus starts the regimen of brushing your hair from your scalp up. Then, SMACK. By the time you are 75 - 80ish, that 'do is straight up, high in the sky. Gone are the days of brushing from the top of your head to the bottom of your perfectly trimmed tips. Hello are the Marge Simpson days of getting those strands nice and high on your head to show off whatever is left of your hair. I'm not poking fun. I know it will probably happen to me one day. But the next time you are surrounded by old women (as I often am nowadays) take a peek.
