Short or long hair?

[faroukfarouk]

My late husband was a smoker and so were my parents....but it was never an issue with me 40 or 50 years ago.

Ms.Linda70: In those days cigarettes were simply a way of life with so many people. weren't they? and issues such as the smell permeating things and passive effects of smoking were hardly mentioned in those days, were they. I lived in a household with smoke for years and in those days decades back it just seemed a natural thing.

But I reckon women with really long hair would be affected, wittingly or not.

I have had my days of short hairs (during my teens), now I prefer keeping my hair long.

sanglina: Did you/do you like the kind of cut - for example - in post #88, above?

Mine was more of what it was called (back then) mushroom cut, chinese cut, etc. not like the one in post #88.

sanglina:

Lol! yeah, exactly like that

 

[faroukfarouk]

Lol! yeah, exactly like that

So was it easy to live with having a cut like that? Kind of nice and simple, I guess.

PS: sanglina: so you also called this a Chinese cut?

I played sports and was very active in outdoor activities, so it was much more convenient keeping it short. Only in my final years of graduation, I stopped cutting it (and incidentally, to my mother's relief). Since then, I have had it long.

Sounds like exams and haircuts were for you somewhat incompatible.

Did you ever smoke, Ms.Linda70?

Because those who have sometimes appreciate where ppl who smoke are coming from, rather than seemingly only concentrating on how the smoke smell penetrates upholstery, hair, etc.

Blessings.

No...I never smoked....disgusting habit!

Ms.Linda70, Well, okay! (I used to smoke.)

You still don't seem to have worried much about the smoke getting into your hair from those around you (this is why I wondered if you had ever been a smoker yourself).

Blessings.

Honestly, my concern was really never about the second hand smoke getting into my hair (or anybody else's hair), but the fact that second hand smoke gets into the non-smoker's lungs and can cause emphysema, COPD , asthma, and all types of respiratory diseases...and cancer. I had a good friend whose husband smoked for 30 years and she got COPD. Her husband quit smoking, but she still had COPD, which weakened one of her lungs to the extent that caused her to get pneumonia so many times that the last round of pneumonia she had in 2009 killed her. BTW, my friend never smoked.

Right now, I am married to a man who was a smoker (but had quit in 1991 before I knew him). He has multiple respiratory problems...shortness of breath, COPD and asthma....probably from the first-hand smoke.

Ms.Linda70: Sorry about your dh's problems. Yes, passive smoking is an issue. In a sense it's good that you didn't worry too much about the effect of smoke on hair.

Blessings.

 

[faroukfarouk]

It's all in the eyes of the beholder....

PS:

Ms.Linda70: Well, I suppose also by the same token some beholders find it a far more pleasing cut.

Blessings.

 

[faroukfarouk]

Pretty much the way my hair is, except a little more pepper in it yet.
It does give a clean and well orginised look though.

God bless

Yes, it certainly does. Blessings.

In any case, there's no doubting the femininity of a cut such as this:

Personally, I don't find this feminine at all.

Short or long hair?

Whatever floats your boat!

Certainly nothing to get tangled up over!

Oh, really...?

Yeah really.
