Sure. I guess I am of a more "individualist" generation where we really didn't want to look like clones hlthe2b Mar 25 #12

people have been enhancing their hair look since way long before the Kardashians arrived on the scene eShirl Mar 25 #15

I don't see the connection. How does cutting one's own hair or otherwise styling equate to hlthe2b Mar 25 #17
