Why did she go with the flat, flat flat hair?


I always remember GD as a beautiful woman with beautiful hair!

Sure, everyone ages, but the manner in which she's aged would be much more complimented by fuller hair like she used to have.

As a reminder, this is how I remember her... sexy wonderful hair and still had her eyebrows:

It's a look she could pull off even if with her more "mature" face of today:

I agree, she looks a lot better with more wild, curly hair, not pulled back or even straight and flat.

Even with just some WAVE, she would look better!

Some women just don't have the face for flat hair (not that I ever really PREFER it). But as Geena started to get older and her face lost its contours, THAT is when she decided to flatten her hair. That was the worst possible timing. She just looks odd with the flat hair, whereas she was very sexy with the wild, full hair!

having had my own hair disasters, I can bet that this wasn't her decision. You can blame her stylist for it. Flat hair seems to be a trend. Stylists love to apply trends on their clients hair.

I partly agree with you and partly strongly disagree with you.

I agree that stylists DO love to apply trends. I have talked to any number of women with stunning hair whose stylists are always wanting to bleach it, flatten it, cut it, color it, what have you.

So it's very possible the idea did stem from the stylist and maybe publicist / image consultant, as well.

Where I strongly disagree is the notion it was "not her decision". It's ALWAYS one's OWN decision, unless they are forced to by powers beyond her control. Geena isn't exactly an upstart wannabe at the whims of her agents. She can do what she wants.

It's always a dangerous thing to give up one's own power to be responsible and accountable for one's own decisions.

LOL! Sir, it's a hair style (you know, experiments are fun)...it's not THAT serious of a decision. No one's life depends on it.

"It's always a dangerous thing to give up one's own power to be responsible and accountable for one's own decision" ??? ROTFLOL! Okay, I'll set my foot down with my stylist. They must understand this is a huge risk, if you say so. My fate may be riding on this.

Then why make it sound so serious? I simply have an opinion about her "experiment" (which I find to be a failed experiment and it's time to return to what works, or move on to a new and more exciting experiment).

Heh; you miss the context of the statement of giving up one's power to be responsible for decisions.

I was referring to the statement in general, not in the mere context of hairstyles. You made the comment "not her decision". I merely observed that the concept of saying "it's not her / his / my fault, it wasn't her / his / my decision" is something which is becoming more a problem in society; hairstyles are inconsequential in the larger scheme of that phenomenon.

LOL! Dr_Hieronymus, I was just being smirky. Okay, next we'll begin the discussion of free will...so bring on Sarte. You're quite a lot of fun.

Well, I go with the flow, and usually have a smile on my face when I write these things

Sartre... ok... Existentialism or Being and Nothingness?
