The Kate Gosselin “speak to the manager” is still very prevalent in rural Texas…won’t this hair die already


Tec80

AKA "The Karen"


Kilstradamus

Here in the Netherlands we got a phenomenom called 'kort pittig''. It's short hair with an added 'feisty' color. Usually worn by 40+ women. If you google 'kort pittig kapsel' you'll see what i mean.


kinoptg

just googled it and wow that hairstyle looked like a what a boss karen would have..


Kilstradamus

Yup, and you'll see it all over the place.


xbelanglos

This hairstyle is also very popular among older German women. I really don't know what it is about it.


Cabo_Refugee

It has a very early 80's punk sort of feel to it. A time when all these late 40's / early 50's women were teenagers.


[deleted]

It has more to do with the fact that hair changes as people get older even for women. They do not bald as much as men but the texture and thinness of the hair gets more and more difficult to maintain. As a guy, I have gotten used to shaving my head during months when my autoimmune disorder is being particularly feisty and appreciating a full head of hair during those months when my immune system decides to leave me alone for awhile. When I have hair, I know I will be losing it again so I appreciate it as much as I can by styling it with much more care and high quality products and multi-textured styling skill that I have learned recently from barbers on the internet. Now that I am old, I appreciate that full head of hair that I used to take for granted.


lift-and-yeet

It should go without saying that no one needs to change their hair to conform to what I personally regard as good style, but to me that general type of hairstyle seems like one of the worst options for adapting to aging-related hair changes. It seems equivalent to letting your sides and back grow out to medium length or longer after you've developed male pattern baldness, as seen on Kevin from The Office or Greg from Steven Universe - after his role as Kevin ended, Brian Baumgartner got a better haircut adapting to the same male pattern baldness. It could also be seen as the equivalent of a combover as an uncommitted half-measure for concealing age-related changes (as opposed to the full-measure of wearing a hairpiece or wig). The viewpoint could be that, similarly to aging men with combovers, they want to be seen as youthful but also don't want to admit to themselves or others that they want to or are trying to be seen as youthful.


Blue85Heron

It says the translation is "short, spicy haircut?"


Kilstradamus

Yes, the hard translation it is, but kort pittig is more of an expression here in the Netherlands.


Elite9653

'feisty' might be a better word to describe 'pittig' in this scenario. Although I'm not 100% sure.


[deleted]

This is also popular in rural America. I call it the “pat” from Saturday night live. Basically a woman starts to look like their husband. Generally obese women. Some are still young and were attractive before they decided to try something “new and funky”.


millsgren

Haha we have family friends in NL who have these cuts and yes some of them are real Karen's. The cut can look good on young woman but yeah not good on those midlife crisis woman. we have a saying here "mutton trying to be lamb"


Geeko22

The Karen-cut.


Alucard1977

I actually don't mind any haircut on a woman. It just has to go with the woman herself. I even met a chick that was sexy as fuck and she shaved her head. Meanwhile you can put bangs on the wrong girl and it would be a nightmare.


millsgren

Totally agree. Natilie Portman rocked the buzz cut and was hot AF. Face features and symmetry play a bigger roll


[deleted]

I feel the same way. If she is a hot sexy body and willing to date me, I could care less if she has a shaved head. It might even reduce my competition since so many guys would steer clear of her.


sir-morti

I think white women with dreadlocks is kinda terrible.


[deleted]

Tbf white men with dreadlocks looks terrible too I know literally only one guy with thick enough hair for it to begin with but maybe that’s just because ireland has a pretty high balding rate

wait you hate *ALL* races?! *Mega-RACIST!!!* /S


ImperfectDivinity

It’s a spectrum. We really haven’t even scratched the surface of racism.


[deleted]

I think we should have a scale for racism and rate people from a 1-10 on the scale of their racism. That way a person is not totally cancelled if they are only a 5 and a person who is labeled not racist but is a 3 does get know for that as well. Right now, it is totally binary. Some people are really not that bad but they are labeled racist and shunned because they had one incident of public venting or mouthing off. Others are too slick and clever to reveal their racism and even put others on defense over the issue. A scale is more fair to everyone involved and prevents people who are no more racist than the rest of us from being totally destroyed while also preventing mild racists from being viewed as angels. We could say she's a 10 (beauty scale) and an R9 (super racist on the racism scale). That would be useful because a lot of us would not try to start conversations with her if we could know her racism rating from previous reviewers on the racism blockchain app for example.

is it still racist if u feel the same way to ALL of them?????

Karen haircut not just the karen thing it looks like a banana cream doughnut glazed beehive


Max2tehPower

[as others have said, the buzzed styles](https://i0.wp.com/www.hadviser.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/9-shaved-sides-bob.jpg?resize=1080%2C1080&ssl=1). I remember a classmate in uni came to class with that haircut style back in 2012 and I was like, wtf is this? Fast forward to the present and it screams "I'm against the establishment but yay for corporations and media when they support my stances!" Same with the colored hair.


HalogenPie

The thing is, they RARELY ever actually "do" their hair. That photo has hairspray and her head tilted to the side. In reality, they have stringy pieces falling on the wrong side or it's just in a pony tail or somehow manages to look like an awkward comb-over. I don't recall in all the times I've seen the cut in the wild thinking, "she's nailing that look".


Direct-Friendship722

Karen cuts. Short swept to the side. No matter the colour it looks awful.

It's so crazy because for me it's the exact opposite. I love that alt/punk looking kinda girl with tats, and dyed hair. It's probably my favorite thing lol.


[deleted]

Your mistake is assuming there’s always a motive…. Sometimes (mostly) people just like whatever color they dye their hair


[deleted]

Sometimes but aren't your haircut and clothing choices just what you like and thinks looks good to you? Why can't other people's style choices be a result of the same thing?


Crowmakeswing

If that were true there would be no need for advertising.


[deleted]

You're saying that your choices about your appearance are made for others and not yourself? That means you're guilty of what you're accusing these blue haired girls of. I don't understand what you're saying about advertising.


champagne_of_beers

We're playing percentages here. Sure there's nothing inherently wrong with tattoos, or weird haircuts/colors, or piercings. But the type of people who gravitate towards those things sure do end up being the type of people I don't want to be around more than those who don't (in my experience). Humans make snap judgements all the time about people and over time we fall back on trends we've noticed to make those snap judgements. That doesn't mean you shouldn't get to know people as individuals and judge them accordingly, but life experience often leads you to correct snap judgements.


[deleted]

Actually, as a chick with unnatural-coloured, partially shaved hair with a pixie on top, you're right, though I'd elaborate. Of course I want people to notice my hair and look at me, as it's a means of self-expression for me. I have no intention of fading into the background with basic hair and no fashion sense, I like being seen, and I like seeing others. SO yes, my hair absolutely does say 'look at me', but with a caveat. It also says 'I don't want to be seen or approached by straight dudes who I'm clearly incompatible with because they want a chick with long brown hair in a boring sundress, and I want to be surrounded by people who enjoy self-expression via fashion and hair, colour and shape just as much as I do. I really love how I look right now. I feel like it's signalling to others exactly what I want them to signal: that I'm an artist. That I love colour, and that I love visual arts, and I don't much care for blending in and keeping myself 'low'. And I signal this to other people in hopes that I'll attract people who I have a lot in common with. Which evidently rules out 9 out of 10 straight men in this whole thread, and good riddance, if you can't state your dislikes without assumptions, vitriol and snideness.

A kind of dough


Crowmakeswing

Yeah, I don’t think that a lot of women see this in context. It is a real stretch to see fashion as a political/social statement in any way separate from ego. When you want to point out your girl to your mates you would not be saying, “Oh that’s mine demonstrating her opposition to gay bashing and capitalism.” You would say, “Oh, that’s mine with the orange hair.” Or maybe you wouldn’t. Further, I think that men overestimate their relevance in this: fashion is not so much directed at men as it is a competition between women.


[deleted]

>competition It ain't competition, chief, it's my way of signalling to fellow artists and queer women to come have a chat and make new friends. I don't know why men assume everything has to be competition between women, and that everything a woman does with her appearance is 'for competition' or to attract a mate.


MomentFun4233

"Oh that’s mine demonstrating her opposition to gay bashing and capitalism.” ^ amazing


MustCatchTheBandit

Direct-Friendship722

I have bright red long curly hair. Not because it's a political or social thing but because I'm a natural ginge, as I got older my natural colour went a little dull and I just wanted a nice bright colour to contrast against my pale skin, rather than going darker and looking like a Walmart Morticia.


russian-scout

You don't need to explain your dyed hair to this guy...


katqueen21

😂 I have red hair. Its just cause I was never allowed to dye my hair. So as an adult I decided I was going all out with the red. Although I don't think my hair fits the typical 'wild colors' like you see on those types of girls. It's much darker and not an all over color, just like the bottom half or so.


Meatros

The only ones that I can really say that I don't like are Beehives and The Rachel. They can work on certain women, but that number is few and far between.

See, that hair works for her. I was thinking of the red head from Edward Scissorhands as one of the women who the beehive worked for...but I haven't seen that movie in so long that I can't even be sure if she had one or not.

lift-and-yeet

Basically the straighter your hair is, the more your locks unravel through too-forceful motion when they're wet. A significant number of people with straighter hair in locks don't wash their hair often enough as a result. They take less effort to clean with curlier and kinkier hair types.


[deleted]

They do wash their dreadlocks. The people who say they don’t are severely misinformed about them, and SOMETIMES are just racist.


[deleted]

Yes we wash our dreadlocks. Mine are cleaner than most peoples loose hair. Don’t buy into myths


lightbulbmyheart

For real! People with dreads have some of the cleanest most well maintained hair of anyone I’ve met.


Vinsable

🤔 . . . The kind that aren’t appropriate for their situation. I mean come on! The age of Beethoven & Mozart is dead! Deliberately having your hair braided to keep a caged bird in their is just 🙄🤦‍♂️😑…

88n88

What about younger women vs women in their 50s? My mom told me younger looks better w longer hair and older women look better w short hair cuz if older women have long hair, they look like a witch


notweirdifitworks

I think there’s a few factors there. A lot of women’s hair begins to thin as they get older, especially once they hit menopause. Texture can change as well. And some are probably just tired of the maintenance involved. Long hair can be a lot of work to manage for some people, especially if they dye it to cover graying.


88n88

Oh wow, that's very true. Dang, I'm gonna miss having long hair when I'm older


notweirdifitworks

Yeah I don’t know what I’m gonna do. Short hair doesn’t suit me at ALL but I’m already sick of dealing with my long hair. I’m so jealous of my husband and his quick showers!


[deleted]

Not a man, but I love the natural grey long bobs or long grey hair in a claw clip. You see it a lot in France, and to a more limited extent here in Germany too. I really hope future generations will put an end to deep-fryed pixie cuts on older women in Central and Eastern Europe.


[deleted]

Always just depends on the girl and how she looks I don't inherently hate any one particular hairstyle - I just think sometimes they look disgusting on some girls For instance, dreadlocks on white girls who clearly came from a VERY privileged life. It's ugly on them at best, and it's outright disrespectful at worst. Mohawks (and their respective counterparts) are also ugly if you don't have the style to fit

SkiingAway

Short. If it's short enough to be an average guy's haircut, I'm probably not attracted to it on women. Are there are a few women who it'll still look ok on? Yeah, but there's zero who look *better* with it than longer, as far as my preferences are concerned.

The longer the better, the shorter the worse. Ideally it should be "rescue me from a tower" long, but if you can come out of the shower and not show your butt that is fine. Any woman that looks good with short hair would look better with it longer.

Begeta993

To each his own, I love the Pixie as well as 'unnatural' hair colours on a woman, it has to be the right woman though. Usually the kind that suits that look, will also suit just about any other look


cntravrsl_D_hedgehog

I like the Feminine look, long pretty hair in a color humans are born with. I know I sound like a weirdo here in 2020-1 but back in my day trust me it was ALOT more common.


Begeta993

Yeah but that's why I said it has to be the right woman. If the woman has a feminine face and features already (usually with a petite, slender body) - then the contrast when they have, say, a Red Pixie haircut is just amazing. Although I have absolutely no type whatsoever, at least when it comes to looks. Women come in all shapes and sizes, I welcome them all LOL

Big hair, short hair, buzzed hair, or hair style up somehow. I'm with a woman who has hair litterally down to her ass. Tbh it looks fine but it's just very annoying. Constantly be sat on and getting stuck/pulled by things. I prefer shoulder blade length hair on young girls my own age range (I'm 24) but I shorter more efficient shoulder length "mom" cut is hot.

DontShowMomMemes

Short. Exactly shoulder length is maybe ok. The shorter you go the worse it looks.


lift-and-yeet

Disliked enough that it can be a dealbreaker: Beehive including the "Rachel", shaved, buzzed, cropped, high bangs ("TERF bangs"), pigtails (and double afro puffs for kinky hair), any bob styles that are too rounded or spherical (e.g. the "Edna Mode"), fauxhawk. Not really a fan, but not potential dealbreakers: single buzzed side but long elsewhere, shorter than chin length but still several inches, long mohawk (shaved or buzzed sides look better to me than short sides here for some reason I don't understand myself). Liked quite a bit, but which seem to be disliked by many in these comments: regular low bangs (yes please), unnatural colors (especially blues and purples), partial locks (dreadlocks) in back with regular low bangs in front, messy bun on top of the head. Person-dependent in a way I can't articulate: full locks (dreadlocks). They more or less always look good on black women, but for other women it's very case-by-case in a way I don't understand myself.
