As soon as you pass 50, hairdressers start trying to sell you short layered cuts with a lot of different colours/shades “to hide the grey”. Said hairstyle requires VERY frequent maintenance cuts/colours to look anything like good. And so consumerism is served, and the middle aged and older women are reminded yet again that they have to spend a lot of money to continue to be acceptable members of society.
Which is total bullshit from where I stand. I LIKE my grey hairs (only they’re silver not grey). And my raggedy hair chop that I do myself with clippers. I call it my Coyote cut (not a wolf cut). And if other people have a problem with that, then it is by definition their problem. I will die on this hill.
