a fascinating theological vantage point (2008-02-16)
From the very beginning, when Eve's long locks were first used to hide her tenderest parts . . . clear through to John of Patmos' hair-raising, wild-bearded revelations of the end-times, this book has it all. I especially like early Roman hair. Forget about aqueducts, those people were doing French braids before France even existed!
Keep your hair healthy gals! (2007-08-03)
Hey here, Patriarch there. Ummm...that's not right. Whatever. I've got to hurry up and review this book!!! Women's hair health is at stake. On with the show!
OK gals. I've really got a lot of good info for you and this book does to. Did you know a woman's hair is supposed to be about down to her mid-back?! Yep, if you've ever seen a healthy newborn baby girl, you'll notice that her hair is this length. And no matter what you do to it, cut it with scissors, burn it with fire, shave it with a razor, as long as the girl is healthy, the hair will almost immediately grow right back! If your daughter is born and she is bald or has very little hair then she is VERY ILL. And needs the doctor's medical attention. Now if you look at most women today, their hair is about shoulder-length. This means they are pretty healthy. They probably just aren't eating right. Also, they could be eating very well and not be getting the vitamins they need due to all the chemicals and crap farmers put in our foods. Go organic and do your hair a favor. Now when a women gets a horrible disease like cancer, it is not uncommon for her to lose her hair completely. This means she will die soon. That's pretty sad.
Take a look at America's History of women's hair
1910s- very long hair, women were very healthy.
1920s-chin length hair, women were very sickly because they spend all their time doing the Charleston
1930s-still about chin length. The Great Depression caused women to be sickly
1940s-WWII helped strengthen America and American's hair. It was about shoulder length.
1950s-fall out from nuclear fission caused some women to be ill. Hair ranged from shoulder length to chin length. Some healthy girls had longer hair of course.
1960s-The hippies lived a very organic lifestyle, therefore women finally were very healthy and had hair that was about mid-back as they are supposed to.
1970s- Women were still very healthy. The hippie culture had caught on.
1980s- Reagan's trickle down economics screwed up a lot of women's health therefore hair can be seen as all different lengths. There were some women who were very unhealthy and had boy length hair.
1990s-Very similar to the 80s. Clinton did just as poorly as Reagan so there were a lot of unhealthy women.
2000-Women are healthy due to the organic health craze, but due to, as previously stated, all the chemicals and stuff we are still consuming, women are not as healthy as they should be. There is also a strange disease going around that causes their hair to be long and short at the same time! It's like all different lengths, and colours too.
So it looks like things are getting better for women's health, but things could get better. Read this book and other important health-food books gals and you will see your hair will become the proper length in no time.
